A small business owner can make a considerable profit if they have a product that the consumers want at a price they love. My clothing store NEW Images opened last year. In this failing economy it was often discouraging to sit in the store for days at a time with only a few sales and many “window shoppers”. I decided quickly that if I want to survive I must take this business online. The thought of exposing my business to millions of new customers was euphoric. I could literally taste the profits.

...Meenie and Pray were some of his popular songs that earned millions views at YouTube. These certify how everyone, girls and boys love his songs. In addition to this, I first saw him when I watched and listened to the "We are the World (Haiti)" by late Michael Jackson and he really caught my heart with his angel voice, because of that I started searching him on YouTube, Google, Facebook, Twitter and Wikipedia. Justin Bieber always dedicated his songs not only to all Beliebers but also to his family. Like his songWhere are you now that he dedicated him to his father. Down to Earth to his parents who divorced when he was young. As a matter of fact, Justin and his songs are great factors of who I am today. He told me to NEVER SAY NEVER when there's gonna be times in my life when people tell me that I can't live with my dreams. And when I listen to his song ONE LESS LONELY GIRL, I really felt that I am the one who tell him in the song. And when I first listened to his new release song PRAY, the song told me that there's always hope to everyone. Everyone can change for a better and ask help and guide to the Lord to do this via talking/praying to Him. Lastly, I always listened also to his song BABY at YouTube which earned half-billion views, this is my favorite song of all, because I always feel when I listened that I am her GF. =) There's gonna be times in your life when people tell you, you cant live your dreams.

...The Life of Justin Bieber “Baby, baby, baby, oh, I thought you’d always be mine.” Anybody could sing these lyrics, but no one could ever do it as well as Justin Bieber. Every time I hear a Justin Bieber song on the radio, I find myself singing along with a smile on my face. Although he is worshiped for his good looks and amazing voice, Justin has much more to offer his fans. Justin Bieber is my hero because he is a successful pop star and an inspiring person. He has had the split second where his reputation became bad, and people had brought him down, but now he’s back at the top. Yes, Justin Bieber may be one of the most popular pop singers, but he tries to be a normal kid, works hard, and shares his wealth with people in need, and still makes time with his family. These are just some of the reasons why the pop star Justin Bieber is my hero. The first thing that impresses me about Justin Bieber is that although he is extremely famous, under all that fame there is still a real person who cares deeply about his friends and family. Even though Justin’s two best friends and most of his family live in Canada, he tries to see them as often as he can. He tries to at least take off one day a week to just hang out with friends and family and play basketball and video games. Also, even though Justin is a huge star, he still lives under his mothers rules. Many may think he gets to do whatever he wants whenever he wants; however, Justin’s mother, Pattie Mallette treats...

...BILLING Part I: Reflect on where you were in your personal and professional life when you started the University of Phoenix program Prior to my entry in to the University of Phoenix, I already had my Associate in Science and General Studies degree as a prelude in my pursuit for a Bachelor’s Degree in Management. I went through the General Studies program upon realizing that it would be better for me to rekindle my knowledge on liberal arts and science before pursuing a University of Phoenix program. As a woman, I know the value of competitive and in-depth learning especially at this period of globalization and economic uncertainties. Before entering the UOP, I was anxious on how to go by with the fast changing world and how to render an eclectic mix of marketing, business and ethics into working with patients with diverse needs and demands and demographics. At this period of uncertainty, it is highly recommended that I build first a foundation of knowledge concerning the art of doing business in the 21st century before entering UOP. I am a Patient Representative in the emergency room that is why education really plays a crucial role in my life not just for the improvement of my business but also for the betterment of my personal and career life. Personal growth and development have a tremendous impact on my career, daily life, relationships and work. This is why the role of learning should be given a high regard because it liberates people from unnecessary...

...Given my aspirations to be a successful entrepreneur, I believe that being in an exchange program will help me to understand the world better. Every entrepreneur must encounter different cultures which will widen his perspective in all aspects. I strongly believe that a person who wants to establish a global business must know the world and its different societies. This exchange program will give me two important things: First, I will hone my strengths further because of my exposure to a new environment. Second, I will complement the high quality education that I am receiving at INCAE with an experience living in a completely different place and learning not only the traditions but also the way of thinking of prospective classmates and professors. Another important point, is the opportunity to examine concepts such as leadership and finances in the best business schools in the world. Throughout my career, I have focused on finance, accounting and operations, but I believe that a complete education has to provide a variety of tools for the professional to be successful. That is why I applied to INCAE in the first place because they have courses that motivate the thinking of a leader. Thus, the idea of studying relevant courses with professors who are global opinion leaders or Nobel Prize winners, to complete what I started in INCAE, is crucial to take my career to the next level. I think that I could use my experience and compare it with the new trends to enhance my skills...

...and Barcelona the summer before my freshman year at the UW, I realized that living abroad and embracing another culture and system of values offered an insightful perspective about my own country. This newfound interest pushed me to learn more about the study abroad programs offered by the UW and take GEN ST 197 taught by Shannon Koller my freshman year. This class educated me on not only what the UW offers for study abroad programs, but also what I must do in order to have a successful and safe experience. I became interested in the UW’s exploration seminars and decided to participate in the Art London Exploration Seminar this past summer. London is a multi-cultural capital and an ideal place to experience other ways of life, giving me an open mind and respect for different cultures. I was able to overcome the challenges of living in a foreign country and mature into an independent, flexible, and adaptable person. Studying in Prague will allow me to mature and experience personal growth by being immersed in a new culture and independently taking on the challenges of living in a foreign country. My personal growth will be channeled through the variety of CHID and PolSci courses the program offers and also engage in intellectually stimulating international field trips. Although I will not be dealing with a language barrier in my classes, I will come across people of many ethnicities and customs throughout Prague and Central Europe. From now until my departure, I plan to research...

Now, all these changes have benefited me and prepared me to face all the challenges involved with accomplishing my childhood goal of being a successful business professional. My father’s approach to his business has been my inspiration. During high school, it was my fortune to spend my spare time going with him on his business trips as a land developer in private and government sectors. His answers to my questions made business concepts concrete. I was always interested in analyzing and improving business with innovative strategies. Suddenly, immigration to the new world had changed my circumstances, but not my goal. In fact, my desire evolved into a greater goal of leading a corporation. After arriving in the United States, I worked in a Dunkin Donuts to help my family. While there, I learned how businesses operate in the new world. In Addition to that, I am forming a Commerce Group at Volunteer State Community College. This combined experience has shown me how economy works in the new world.
