Milton Hershey

Hershey bought joy to millions of people with his delicious littl chocolates.
People say he didnt let people that were sad go without making them happy.
Henrey was a dreamer he didnt have much education but well read and was always making good ideas.
He had many failures but it all earned up to a great succsess.
He did some research and started to get interested in caramel candys with
little poems in each one. He liked this idea and would follow through eventually with
his hereshey chocolates. He went from complete poverty to lots of wealth and he
believed that being wealthy is a gift from god.
He didnt spend much time enjoying life because he was aways working on his buisness. That could be why
he was attracted to kitty the 26 year old who sught enjoyment in life he wanted more of that.
All milton hershey left behin was hugs and kisses and a name everyone talks about all around the world million times a day

Brands

What is a brand: A brand is the identify of a specific product, service, or business.
Standing out amid a massive chorus of competitors is a challenge for any company in today’s business climate. The number of offers and sales pitches one receives on a daily basis is simply staggering and increasingly ineffective. It’s no wonder, then, why businesses are seeking new and more effective ways of increasing the influence of their brand strategy in the marketplace.
To make a good brand you have to get the name out advertising however much you can, and you have to say good things about the brand of whatever your trying to sell. If you get a person to like a brand they will tell friends who will tell friends and on and on. Eventually youl have a popular brand. Also you have to have good prices or your brand will not sell becuase the majority of the world is poor or in the middle.

   A bad brand would have no advertising and people will no talk about it. A bad brand usually will be cheap and bad qaulity or it will be to expensive and noone will buy it.

So over all advertising is the main way to start a good brad, then let the people do the talking!

An example of a good selling popular brand his honey nut cherrios. Lots of people buy them there all over tv and there healthy or you wich is one of the main reasons people buy what they do these days.

An example of a bad brand is blind skateboards they are very cheaply made and not sold very often
there advertising is bad and there just all around cheap plasticy skatboards.

Robert Kiyosaki

Robert says that having two dads was a disatvantige but an advantage at the same time. A disatvantage because they were both giving him differant advice and telling him different things about life and buisness.
This fact intreged him and made him want to learn more about his fathers. It is said that you dont learn facts about money and how to make it at school it is somhing you learn at home. Having rich or poor parents would highley affect your over all take on money. He said his rich dad would not work his brain when it came to money he said he would just put to sleep but on the other hand the soon to be rich dad thought of how can I, not I cant do. One of the most important thing you can learn is that if you tell yourself you cant do somthing you will never achieve it. Robert thinks that learning about money in school not just at home is a great place to start your financial succsess.

Robert Herjavec has lived the classic "rags to riches" story. The son of Croatian immigrants, he earned his incredible wealth by overcoming the odds with pure hard work and intuition.

They named their first son Conrad.
They barttered for gold nuggets wich were very valuable at the time
and they were gonna need some extra income for there new son so its
a good thing that they had gold nuggest there. Gold nuggets were
little nuggets of gold and were very exspensive.
He was succseful
but conrad and his father often clashed so they struggled to make it work
but in his heart he knew his father would never treat him
like an equal partner. So he new he had to branch off and start his own stuff,
because he had to do it his own way because his dad was tying him down
and not letting him fully expand his skills in the work / buisness area.
He never develped great skill sin the language in france but he was one with
the ladys and they loved him as he loved her.
He thought he was gonna be a banker
but it turns out he went into the hotel buisness he wasnt in a straight line
which in someways can be better because new things open up to even more journeys and ideas.
His fathers general store was none as the man who bought the Walton's.
 His son Hilton Jr married the 18 year old beauty from where she was from
The 2 divorced after 2 months. This didn't bother there family business wise.
Hilton decided that the airplane travel industry had been untouched by others like him
so he dove into that and combined airports with hotels and he put hotels where the plains
dropped them off at whatever part of the world they were traveling to.
