My Future Life


It all started like this.


I finished high school. Finally, I can begin to live. I'm 17 and I feel great. I have many ideas and choices to make. I have a vision. I want to make money, but I also want to finish my higher studies. I know that my studies will give me more opportunities and I will have a stable job. In another way, business is all about experience and what you can do. I know that I can make money and go back to my studies after. Every decision I'll take will change my future in a good or bad way. I hope that I'll take the right decision. Let's see what I will do.
Choice 1: I go to Ahuntsic College to continu my studies in Business.
Choice 2: I decide to quit school to go work.
Choice 3: I go back in Lebanon, my native country.































Scene 1.


I continued my studies in Business at Ahuntsic College. It is great. I love my department and met new people. While studying, many choices were available. I finished my college studies and continued in the same department at one of the best businesses schools in the country. I got accepted at HEC University. Not only I get to go to this great University, I also found work at the bank. I make enough money to pay for my studies and my new car. While I was studying, I met a cool guy that had a great idea in software development. We opened a firm that creates applications. We had success fast. We made so much money, I quit my job when I got my University diploma and gave all my time to my business. Two years after I got my university diploma, I finally made my first million. I married a top model. I'm not so happy because she can't make kids. Also, she's does nothing in the house. All she make is waste my money and go shopping. Well, I think you can't get everything in life.
  Start again: Let's see what would have happened if I made other choices in my life.































Scene 2.


I decided to quit school. I found work in a restaurant. I make a lot of money with the tips. I was happy at first, but now I need more money. The more I make money, the more I want. It is not enough for all the work that I do. I have to find a second work to pay my nice car, my bills and my apartment. I fell in love with my friend. I never taught we would would be together. It's been five years I know her. We are not ready to make kids but soon we will. We work fulltime and we belong in this consumption society. The more we make, the more we spend. I saw an old friend who told me about penny stocks. He told me about an inside tip of a stock. I always knew I would get this kind of opportunity. Finally, the luck is on my side. I invest in this company. After my investment, the company went bankrupt. I had all my savings in this investment. My wife wants to live me. I'm sad I don't know what to do. I go for a walk and buy a lottery ticket with the last pennies I have. I win and become a millionaire. Finally, the luck is on my side. We make beautiful children and we have a wonderful life.
  Start again: Let's see what would have happened if I made other choices in my life.































Scene 3.


I wanted to take a break from my studies and from this society. Also, I wanted to visit my family again. I went back in my country where I was born. It felt great to be home. While I was in my country, I got to spend time with my grandfather and I got to know him better. He taught me everything. From how to take care of a garden to how to be a gentleman. Time passes and I'm still here. My grandfather gave me a family secret about coffee. I learned how to cultivate it with that secret formula. When I was ready, he gave me a land where I could cultivate the coffee so I could sell it. After many months, I came back to see how was doing my land of coffee. I could make so many dollars with that land. I founded that insects have eaten all my plants. The future wasn't so bright. I got to live all my life in my country and never went back to Montreal. I never made children and I was never married. All I had was the lands my grandfather gave me after he passed out. One day, the great children of my sister came to my house and told me he wanted to spend time with me for a couple of months. I'm 60 years old now. Let's see if we can work this out with the lands, my coffee secret and the great children of my sister.
  Start again: Let's see what would have happened if I made other choices in my life.

Small Business Owner

Introduction

Living in Montreal, I am studying in Business at Ahuntsic College. Montreal is a city in the province of Quebec, in Canada. Studying in Business Administration, I like to read stories about entrepreneurs who succeed in life. Not long ago I read about a small business owner who explained his lifestyle, the good things and the less good things about having a business. I chose this article because it explains the life of an entrepreneur and it relates to my field of study.

A Day in the Life of a Small Business Owner

You would prefer not the work for somebody. The truth is you need to be the Man, or the Women. At that point having your own business is the profession for you. The little entrepreneur is the foundation of the American economy. Of all businesses, ninety-nine percent are little entrepreneurs. They give 75% of the new occupations made each year, and they are in charge of 96% of all sent out merchandise. Little entrepreneurs work out of repair car shops, little stores on Main Streets, and immense corporate campuses. Before you start offering shirts in Time Square or offering oranges in Orlando, you require a strategy for success. A strategy for success is your guide to achievement. The strategy incorporates a description of your item or administrations, how you are going to back your business (advances, speculators, grandmother), due dates for your business and a definitive objective. As a little entrepreneur, you should know about the six Ms: MISSION – you need to know precisely what your administrations will accomplish for customers. MARKET – you need to know who your customer is and how you can discover them. MESSAGE – your main goal must be sufficiently clear that your business sector comprehends who you are and what you bring to the table. MEDIA – This is the most ideal approach to get your words out there (radio, print, TV, sky authors).  Strategy – You recognize what to do, with whom, with what, when and how to do it. You're in control of your business. Strategy – You recognize what to do, with which person, with what, when and how to do it. You're in control of your business. Administration – you work on your business in a manner that your customers are totally satisfied. A perfect little entrepreneur knows how to make arrangements, take care of issues, contract, prepare, inspire, and lead workers. Being a little entrepreneur is unsafe; it is certainly the most unsafe legal profession you can pick. Be that as it may, with a good tough work – a lot of determination, and a piece of luckiness, the prizes of beginning your own particular business are fabulous (think of Bill Gates).

3 good reasons to study in business

Everybody have dreams, but how many can achieve them. What is important about it, is to make a living of it and be satisfied of what you have at the end of the journey. Set some goals and make green papers, because honestly, you need them to live. Not only you want to live, but you also want to appreciate your life. This is what business is all about.

1. Make money!!!!!!!


Now let's be honest, who doesn't like money. Like any other jobs, you can't be guarrenteed to make as much money as you want. But its a good start. Don't get me misundertood, I wounld't die for money, but it can surely get me in a better mood. What I mean is that we need those paper. Money can litterally set you free, if you have enough of them. You can ask the 50 richest people in the world how hard life is. I'm sure they'll have the same answer. Oh and by the way, they are all entrepreneurs. Yes, they are all working in the buinness department. Also, I stoped counting after so many people. That means this list goes further. As you see, if you want to make money, buy to the person you like a few gifts, make someone smile around you, you have to gain the greed. There is so much money to do in business, all you have to do is to work hard, take some risks, believe in yourelf and of course be patient. Believe me, at the end of the adventure, all the hard work will be worth it. By the way, I am not saying that money can buy happiness, but I would rather live like a king than live like a slave.

2. Be your own Boss


I don't know about you, but I don't like getting constant orders by a superior, espacilly when your superior is not good with you or is mean. Did you ever stress out about getting the task done, or having to make an excuse about why you are late? Even worst, having to work in a job you don't like and doing the same routine every day. This is what having your own business can set you free of. Not only you can come to work at the time that you want and on the day that you like, you can also take vacation when you want. Being your own boss also means setting your own objectives and motivations. Being independant will really set you free and make you a better and more happy person.

3.  Make your dreams come true


We all have different dreams, What is interresting about it, is the idea to accomplish them. If you
knew everything about the future, life would be boring. This is what make it excinting. It's to not knowing what will happen. We all work hard to get to our goals, but nothing is sure in life. This is what business look like. Its riski, but fun. You're never sure what will happen tomorrow, but you keep going forward and beliving in yourself. It takes sacrifices to make business, but when you get what you want and you're good a what you do, you get confidence and nothing can stop you. The feeling you get achieving your goals is exceptional. What I like about business is to start from nothing and get to the top. At the end of the day, looking back at the empire that you built and at what you accomplished is an unbelivable experience.


Conclusion


To finish, it takes hard work and patience to make business. It is not easy, but the most important thing is to enjoy what you do. Having a good stress can also help you, as you want to accomplish your obejetves every day. Yes, you can make  a lot of money in business, but if you chase money only, you're never going to be satisfied because money never end. Try to set some goals and realistic dreams. Work in silence and let your success make the noise.
