4/25/12 Business part 3- Cost +

Today was our last day of class I was really happy but I will miss this class I really enjoyed it a lot. This was by far one of the best classes I had here at UMKC. This class taught me a lot of things that I will use in my life. I came to class a little late so I don’t really know about the first part. I learned that you need to always “stick to your guns!” when it comes to your rate. You should never work for free in less you love and believe in it. You have to have a passion for it. Diversify; come up with different things to do. Find things that can make you money. If you’re a writer you can teach, be a publisher, or even be a consultant for some other business or company. One thing that I did know about that my teacher was teaching us was to always back up your work. You should always have a paper copy of everything because hard drivers can stop working and if you have a hard drive you should have two and keep one on another place so it can always be there. The last thing is to enjoy yourself you’re a business have fun and take vacation you can make it a deductible. You should also give to others because there will always be someone that need help with something. This was everything that we learned about making a business and I will be following this very soon because I want my own business.

4/23/12 Business part 2- How much does it cost to wake up?

In class we learned about how much it cost to wake up if you starting your own business. You started doing lots of different math and it was very inserting to learn about. And you should have an accountant so you can learn all the ins and outs of your business finance. We started to learn about marketing and how we should do it. The number one thing to do in marking yourself and your business is to believe in yourself because you won’t get on where if you can’t even do that. How will you get someone else to believe in you product if you can’t do the same for yourself.  It is good to always have a contract with whomever you doing business with but you don’t really need one for friends if you can trust them. There is so much that go’s in to starting a business; things that I really didn’t think of so I’m glad he was showing us this because I didn’t even know how to get started.

Today we started to learn that we should always have an income from different things and that was funny to me when he told use that because I been saying the same thing all my life. So my teacher should us how to start a business and I’m happy for that because I always wanted to start a business but didn’t really know where to start. So today he was giving use tools to having our own business. We need first need a plan this is what is it you want to do. Then the next things is to get a LLC-(limited liability corporation) this will make you a business and you should always do business in the state you live in first. After the start a website because that where most business and people look at first the internet. And don’t forget to get cards to pass out because that’s another way of getting your business into the public. These just the first few steps the learned today for starting a business and I find them useful to know.

4/18/12 Resume

4/18/12 Resume

Today we learned that when doing a Resume one of the most important part of it is the cover letter. It’s important because that’s the part that you write just for the job you are giving you resume to. It show that you know something about the job and showing them a little bit about yourself and why you are qualified to have the job. We learned the whole format for a cover letter and what to put in it because most people put the something every time like (I would, I could). In a cover letter you need to put things like (I will, I can) in it. There should be 3-4 paragraph and 2-3 sentences in you cover letter. The first is your hook the, Hey You! In this paragraph you should tell a story about the company and how it relates to you with vivid word pictures. In the Second paragraph is the, You Want? You address the job and tell what needs to be done. In the Third paragraph is the, I Got! Tell about your skills for the job, I’m going to get the job done and this is how you going to do it. In the Fourth paragraph is the buy it now and you should always end with that. Learn all of this for my cover letter is good because I never put a cover letter with my resumes because I never really know how to do one. I will use this advice for the future because I’m sending a resume this weekend and I hope it a good one for them to look at.

4/13/12 McDonalds Commercials Part 2

4/13/12 McDonalds Commercials Part 2

We still were on the subject about McDonalds and the years. We began to go into the 80’s and the modern day and age. We now know that McDonalds has a lot of power and they now own the world, and everything in it.  We learn a lot about McDonalds and everything they did to get where they are today. I will say they seem like they could stay on top.

We now have to do another commercial but on McDonalds in the year 2050. It is our view on what we see it looking like and being like in that year.

We turned in our homework for the car commercials on the car named 2020 go. We have 7 classes left so I hope I’m at ever one because I don’t want to miss no more of them.

Today in class we started to talk about McDonald’s commercials and the history of them. We started from the beginning of them and moved through the years and the different changes that they want through. We saw the changes from the different foods, styles of their designs, and the changes in the people. In the different commercials McDonalds tried to reach a different type of audience’s member like kids, old people, moms, dads, ect.

4/6/12 Car Commercials of the passed part 2

4/6/12 Car Commercials of the passed part 2

We talked about how they sold the cars to show that the car is a reflection of you. It was your identity. Most of the things in these commercials were not event really about the car about was it can do. When the years started to passed that’s when car commercials start to tell a story because that’s what’s grabs the attach of the audience. We learn that studies show that people learn more we they are laughing. That’s why stories came back to commercials for the entertainment.  Our home work for next week is to come up with our owe Car commercial. I hope I can pull this off because I seem like it could be a fun homework assignment.

4/4/12 Car Commercials of the 50’s and 60’s

4/4/12 Car Commercials of the 50’s and 60’s

We talked about the evolution of car ads and how it was loyalty in brands. In these car ads didn’t really show how it was dependable, long-lasting, and quality built, made for a family. These car ads sold the look for sex and they look like a kid’s toy so kids like them also. We mostly looked at car commercials in class.

4/2/12 TV Commercials

4/2/12 TV Commercials

Today we did the count down for the amount of time we had left in the class. It was four weeks 12 class and 550 minutes. 4 weeks may same long but I bet it will fly by like that.

Today we went over power and change and talked about dual-code, words, emotions, lingo, etc… we learn that those things are the stones to a story.  We also started to talk about TV commercials of the 50 and what led up to them. We did this in a time line that I thought was very successful in the information that was given.  It showed the parents wanted to give their children more because they were able to do it at that point. We also a level chart we made that show the needs of the parents, children, and the grandparents. This chart show that the children and grandparents where at the same point in their lives and the parents was at a completely different point.
