Successful business, 500 000 first year, 20% profit.
I like the Idea that they have, very smart and people will always be cleaning uo... they just made the job that much easier.
I dont like the idea that they make money by pretty much doing nothing. They should advertise more, just a website isnt good enough... if they had more advertising they would make more money, plain and simple.

Facebook

- Estimated value of $16,000,000,000.00

- Facebook is a social network, meant for people to meet eachother and become friends.

- The original founder of Facebook and CEO is 24 year old Mark Zuckerburg. Mark and 3 of his roommates created Facebook while attending Harvard University and launched the site on February 4, 2004 from their college dorm room. Forbes Magazine named Mark “the world’s youngest self-made billionaire” being worth an estimated $1.5 billion due to his creation of the popular website.

- I don’t know how it came about but either Google and Yahoo where feeling threaten by the up and coming of the social network or they seen a way they could make a mass profit but in late September 2006 talks with Yahoo where underway and is rumoured they offered $1 billion to buy out Facebook where Google offered about $2 billion.
Within 4 years of launching Facebook, became the number 1 social networking site on the web but according to other sources it ranks 2 nd . Finally, in 2007 after seeing all the other major companies investing in Facebook, Microsoft contacted the owners of the site proposing an investment in return for 5% stake in the company.

- Facebook is a network of free thinking and acting etc... Facebook is GREAT

Richard Branson

  Richard Branson:

Richard Branson has had a couple of wise things to say, a couple of these quotes are the following:

 "If you can run one compeany, you can really run any company... Find the right people, inspire the right people. Like learning, and experiencing new things."

 "There is a line between success and money... Name brands stand for quality."

"Let People know your company, who you are, and how you can please them with your product."

What I have learned about Sir Richard Branson:
- If your not interested in something... dont grasp it....

- $25 000 000 000.00 & 55 000 employees ----> Ritch!

- Does not only have 1 big company, he has many little companys (Over 200)...

- He owns an ISLAND! (Bought for $240,281.00 in 1979)

The 6 ways of an Entreprenuer:

1) How you treat others counts.
2) Courage: Willness to put yourslef at risk.
3) Value. Added.
4) Leap into the unknown.
5) Willing to serve others.
6) Calculated risk.
  • Pick on someone bigger than you.
  • Look for the companiesn that lack value for $$.
  • EVERYTHING is negotiable.
