Starting a Business

If you could start any business what would it be and why?

Creativity

Creativity and innovation are essential for entrepeneurs. What are some things you do to spark you own creativity?

Would you consider Miley Cyrus as an entrepreneur?

Is Miley Cyrus (or Hannah Montana) considered to be an entrepreneur or is she just following the path layed out before her by previous popstar sensations such as Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera?

If thats the case, who would be be considered the first female popstar entrepreneur?

Who is your favorite Entrepreneur?

This is currently our first blog and we figured we would start out with a basic question before we start blogging more about entrepreneurship.

Who is your favorite entrepreneur and why?

Favorite entrepreneur would have to be none other than Donald Trump. Always been a fan of the man's accomplishments and now of course he has his Apprentice Show on TV which is a major hit. It is very interesting how the man can go from being extremely broke and bankrupt to now being a very powerful and wealthy individual. Of course, you cannot forgot the famous line of Donald Trump, "You're Fired," which will never get old.

How can you not be a fan of an individual who has accomplished the following:

1. Developer of real-estate complexes and skyscrapers, including Trump Tower, Trump Place Apartments and Trump Casino & Resorts.
2. Began his business career in an office he shared with his father (also a successful real-estate developer) in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn, NY. His father was quoted as saying, "Some of my best deals were made by my son, Donald. Everything he touches turns to gold."
3. Author of a number of best-selling books, including The Art of the Deal.
4. Was nearly forced to file bankruptcy in 1990 after a loss of over two-thirds of his net worth, or $1.5 billion. Eventually he recovered and returned his net worth to $3 billion.
   Reportedly received $3 million per episode of The Apprentice.

The man also attended and graduated from college, which is something I just recently was able to find out. Donald Trump attended Fordham University, Bronx, NY; University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School, Philadelphia, PA (BS in Economics, 1968). I know it was awhile ago when he graduated, but he has been using his knowledge, skills, and abilities to reach his goals and become the man that he is today.
