The Secret of Success

The Secret of Success
You should know. Before taking the helm of the business school in January, he had already made a name for himself as an able administrator with a strong awareness of the emerging importance of entrepreneurship. In his last position as dean of the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, he oversaw an MBA program in entrepreneurial studies that was ranked number one in the nation in surveys published in U.S. News & World Report and Success magazine.You recalls potential corporate employers who questioned the value of this training. “They worried that our graduates only wanted to start their own firms, and I’d say, ‘Not necessarily—they want to work in entrepreneurially oriented firms,’ which is a different matter altogether. Our program trained them to recognize opportunities even within the largest of enterprises.”Entrepreneurship is more a way of looking at things than simply having the desire to be your own boss, according to You. “To me, it means being able to recognize opportunities, knowing how to bring people together to work toward a shared goal, and having the knowledge, contacts, and abilities to get the capital and other resources you need to take advantage of those opportunities,” he says. “It’s not just about having a great idea, but knowing how to make the most effective use of that idea.”

Going For It!
Unlike most “entrepreneurs” of yesterday, who sought to create small, “mom and pop” style businesses, modern-day entrepreneurs seek much more than self-employment. Thanks to a stable economy and the many changes brought about by evolving technologies, more opportunities exist than ever before to create new services, products, even entire industries—and those are the possibilities that drive the enterprising businessperson of today.
“The perfect example of the new entrepreneur can be found right here in Birmingham,” says You. “Richard Scrushy is a man who saw an opportunity with enormous potential and made the most of it. He brought a whole new industry into being when he created HealthSouth,” the industry leader in rehabilitative health care, outpatient surgery, and diagnostic services.
It’s that type of vision that business college are looking for these days, according to You. “We want to attract individuals who have big ideas that can lead to growth and the long-term creation of jobs—businesses that will provide economic opportunities for the whole community,” he says. “The true entrepreneur doesn’t provide work for just one or two people anymore; he or she creates a structure within which 10 or 100 people can thrive.”

Investment Advices

2005-08-28T08:21:00.000-07:00

Investment Advices

When it's too good to be true , it is usually too good to be true !
Be wary of unexpected phone calls, letters, e-mails, or personal visits from strangers who offer quick-profit schemes that require an immediate investment.
Be skeptical of any promise that the investment is guaranteed or that you can "double your money" or expect some other high return on your investment within a short period of time.
Turn down money requests accompanied by high-pressure warnings such as "Tomorrow will be too late" or "Act now because there will soon be a long waiting list of others who want to take advantage of this great opportunity."
Get an outside opinion on the information in the prospectus from a professional such as your attorney, stockbroker, accountant, or other reliable consultant, before making a commitment.
When in doubt – Hang up. When in doubt, make no promises or commitments, no matter how tentative. It is far better to wait and lose an opportunity than to take the plunge and lose everything. When hounded on the phone by an aggressive promoter, do not be afraid to hang up without explanation. You don't owe the caller anything, no matter how nice the caller may seem. In fact, this kind of solicitation is an invasion of you privacy, and may be a violation of federal and state law.
Always demand written information about the organization behind the investment plan and its track record. Bear in mind, though, that printed documents can easily be created, forged, or falsified.
Be suspicious of claims of "inside information", hot Advices, and rumors that supposedly will give you a big advantage over other less knowledgeable investors.
Check it out with the Secretary of States' Office, Securities Division to confirm that the company or individual is properly licensed to sell securities in Missouri and whether there have been any complaints and violations of law. Contact the Investor Protection Hotline at 1-800-721-7996.
Know who you’re dealing with whenever possible. Deal with established businesses whose reputations are known and respected in their communities.
Ask for a prospectus, offering circular, financial statement, or similar document before you consider investing. Then read the small print carefully and make sure you understand the terms thoroughly before signing any kind of commitment.

Beware of Investment Cheats

2005-08-28T08:06:00.000-07:00

Below are some of the popular investment cheats:

Pyramid Schemes: They are essentially “robbing one person to pay another.” Initial investors are paid off with borrowed money from new investors. As long as a steady flow of new investors keeps coming in, there will be money to pay off the old investors. However, when new investors stop coming in, the oldest investors do not receive their promised pay-out.

Unlicensed Individuals Pushin Securities: All individuals selling securities must be registered with the Office of the Missouri Secretary of State, Securities Division. Those not registered may not be qualified to sell securities and may not disclose important information. Variable Annuity

Sales Practices: Variable annuities are sold by life insurance companies and guarantee an income
stream forlife. However, because they are variable, an investor may not receive the expected returns and may have to pay large surrendercharges to get the money back and liquidate the annuity. Also, brokers often charge high fees for annuities. Variable annuitiesmake sense only for consumers willing to invest for 10 years or longer, but are not suitable for many retirees who cannot affordto lock up their money for a long period of time.Senior Investment Fraud: Con artists tend to prey on elderly investors because of their lifetime of savings and their trusting nature. Seniors should beware.

Affinity Fraud: These cheats exploit the trust and friendship that exist in groups of people who have something in common, such as religious, ethnic, cultural and professional groups. Con artists frequently are - or pretend to be- members of the group. They often enlist respected community or religious leaders from within the group to spread the word about the scheme and the leaders often become unwitting victims themselves.Unregistered Investment Products: All investments must be registered with the Office of the Missouri Secretary of State, Securities Division. Con artists bypass stringent state registration requirements to pitch viatical settlements, pay telephone and ATM leasing contracts and other investment contracts with the promise of “limited or no risk” and high returns. Unregistered investments have not been properly examined to ensure they are sound investments.
Promissory Notes: Con artists scam investors with false promises of high returns on what may appear to be a plausible business opportunity.
High-Yield Investment Schemes: Perpetrators claim to have unique access to this secret market. Supposedly, bank securities traded between “top” or “prime” banks can be bought at a discount and sold at a premium, yielding greater than market returns with no risk. In reality, no such market exists.

Internet Fraud: While there are legitimate Internet stock and investment sites, there are many cheats lurking out there as well. Be very careful when it comes to acting on investment tips or opportunities appearing on the Internet, even if you receive the website information from a friend or relative. Check out an investment opportunity thoroughly before sending money and, if you decide to purchase a stock, don't buy little-known stocks on the basis of online hype. These are the investments most susceptible to manipulation. Don't assume that all online claims are reputable or legitimate.
Resource Cheats: Many of these scam artists play on the news of rising oil and gas prices to encourage investment in their phony operations. “Oil company” representatives call investors for money to start drilling on property, where oil supposedly exists. The investor gives the “oil company” money and never hears from them again.
