How many shows on television do you know that offer a guilt-free antihero as its protagonist? Well, I certainly cannot think of many, and I believe that is the inaugural case as to why NBC’s The Blacklist has been this Fall’s number one show. The idea behind it is that an ingenious, criminal mastermind for some apparent reason starts to assist the FBI catch the world’s most wanted criminals, some of which they did not know existed. Although I am already a fan of the show, I do think that The Blacklist does borrow much of its premise from USA’s White Collar. I feel Andy Greenwald describes the show best when he says, “It’s a cop procedural with a criminal as the lead investigator.”

Ice cream in Russia is a very profitable business. Profit margins range between 15 and 20 %. This profit can be even greater when creating a premium product. Ice-Fili’s product value lies within raw material acquisition. Since the content of fat applied in the creation of ice cream is higher in Russian ice cream, the product is of better taste quality and unique flavor. With the Russian public placing more alarm on preservatives in edibles rather than fat content, this gives Ice-Fili an advantage over foreign competitors. In fact, Ice-Fili was the only ice cream producer awarded at the 2002 Moscow World Food exhibition for its brand Eralash. To market such prestige could help increase brand loyalty amongst customers. Ice-Fili also enjoys rather favorable brand recognition. The Lakomka brand is hailed as one of three most recognized ice cream brands in Russia....

The thing I liked most about this documentary was the fact that it focused on the guys at the top, the self-proclaimed "smartest men in the room", the so-called geniuses who knew the energy business so much better than the rest of the industry. And what a piece of work these men were.
In the book “Think and Grow Rich,” the author, Napoleon Hill, provides a set of principles that he calls the key to financial success. The idea at the center of these principles is that one becomes what he or she frequently thinks about, in this case success (i.e. rich). Hill lays out a method he created to translate one’s thoughts into reality, creating an insatiable hunger and drive within an individual to succeed. Using the examples of his son and some of America’s legendary iconic business leaders, of which Hill studied and interviewed, including Edwin C. Barnes, he demonstrates that anything one puts his or her mind to can be produced and conceived.

The film shows that though some entrepreneurs are driven by greed and some are not, the ones that are successful are answering the needs of consumers.

We learned a lot of things in this course, but I think the most important lesson I learned is that it’s not easy to be an entrepreneur. I was surprised to hear in the first class that 80% of startups fail, but after reading The Art of Start and E-myth Revisited I understood why this happens more often than one might expects. Some people start their own businesses for the wrong reason and some start with wrong mindset. I’ve always thought that if someone has a brilliant business idea and hardworking they will succeed and grow their business. However, now I know that there are many things to consider before starting any business. In fact, there are many strategies that an entrepreneur could follow to achieve success, such as know your customers, work “on” the business, and how
