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. In the early 90's, Robert eked out a living waiting tables at a posh Yorkville restaurant. During the initial stages of the dot com craze, he realized that technology was the ticket to serious money. By night, he launched BRAK systems, his first technology company. BRAK soon became Canada's top provider of Internet security software worth a reported $100-hundred million dollars.

Robert Herjavec is my favortie dragon because he sais he came from rags to richs and that takes talent.
