Starting a business takes a realistic assessment of expenses, planning assets, and most importantly, funding requirements. The second leading cause of small business failure is from under capitalization. (The leading cause is mismanaged growth). Capitalizing your new business means overcoming the high up front startup costs, and making sure that you have enough money in reserve to handle operating expenses for a few months while building your client base or bringing your service or product to the market. Nothing is as disheartening as seeing that your business has failed when it could have succeeded with a bit more money at the right time.
To figure out your capitalization requirements, you are going to need to itemize your start-up costs, like paying for office and work space, warehouse space if you need it, and initial capital investments in equipment, tools and furnishings, plus service fees (attorney time, licensing fees and state permits). You will also need to start the basic utilities – internet, telephone, trash pickup, electricity and water. When you start adding it all up, it can become more than a little daunting.
However, you do not need to do it all at once. Make a priority list. Can you work out of a spare room in your home, or use your garage as your small warehouse? If the type of business lets you do this, then you can postpone a large chunk of continuing overhead expenses by doing exactly that. If you are providing an online service business (marketing assistance, freelance writing, and the like), you may never need to get -real- office space, though there are some serious benefits to doing so. (Not being interrupted by your family during business hours is the least of them!)
Another way to overcome a shortage of capital is sweat equity. When you are starting a business, the most plentiful commodity you have is your back and sweat, and doing things for yourself. It is easy to get into a rut with this, so be sure that you are valuing your time appropriately – remember that the leading cause of business failure is mismanaged growth: Getting into the habit of doing everything yourself, when hiring an employee to free you up to do business management is one of the classic failure patterns. Doing things yourself will give you a gut appreciation of where the money goes, and what jobs you will want to delegate in the future. It will also give you a leg up, when you have employees, to know what all the jobs are, and how to train people to do them to your satisfaction.
Keep an open mind during the business planning phase. Network and talk to other small business owners, and make a habit of going to your local SBDC luncheons every month. Learn from the people who are going through what you went through, or have gone through it before. There will be lots of suggestions on how to manage your business growth.
Finally, be aware of the differences between capital expenditures, sunk costs and recurrent expenses. Or, when it is time to spend money, do not be afraid to do it when the opportunity strikes!

In this companion lecture to Dr. Bruce Lipton’s “Biology of Perception ” ( Part 1: www.youtube.com ), Rob Williams, MA and Originator of PSYCH-K, discusses how beliefs determine your biological and behavorial realities and shows how to establish communication with the subconscious to “rewrite the software of the mind” and facilitate change. PSYCH-K is a simple and direct way to change self-limiting beliefs at the subconscious level of the mind, where nearly all human behavior originates, both constructive and destructive. Its overall goal is to accelerate individual and global spiritual evolution by aligning subconscious beliefs with conscious wisdom from the worlds great spiritual and intellectual traditions. Rob Williams has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Philosophy from the University of California at Los Angeles and a Masters Degree in Counseling and Personnel Services from the University of Colorado.

e. All the above
Although it is predominantly done by the owners or senior management of a business, business management comprises of all the points u had mentioned.
Government or private should not matter. Understand the purpose of this organization and its customer. Understand what this customer needs and considers of value. Help workers understand this and have them do more of what is valuable and less of what is waste.
Thank you so much i wish i had seen your video’s way earlier thank you.
You are god! You explained it in 6 minutes what my lecturer couldn’t in a whole semester! You are my quickfire exams cheat sheet!
As to whether it is necessary to have the degree, the answer is no. The only time it is truly necessary to have a degree is when you wish to be hired by an existing company that requires a degree, or when you wish to be credentialed for for some practice that requires a degree, such as medicine or engineering.
The things you should get from the degree include business computing skills, business communication, a bit of human resources, possibly a good internship, and maybe some other things like marketing and job seeking skills. I would get ahold of their catalog and read the course description for every course in the curriculum. If the descriptions sound like things that could be useful to you then you might give it a shot.
Alternatively, you might just take only the classes you're most interested in. It's likely that the community college offers a one year certificate with many of the same courses, so you might think of doing that instead.
I will offer one caveat – what if your plan doesn't work out and you decide you'd be better off with a bachelors or masters degree, like an MBA or MBF? The problem with the degree you're considering is that it is probably not a good choice should you decide to try to transfer. If you think you may eventually be interested in a four year degree or beyond, you might look into your community college's general studies curriculum. Also, check out to see whether this college has a career center. Those folks should be able to help you out. If not, speak to an advisor from the business program.
Good luck!
Hiiiiiii..
I think you have to choose the Marketing section in Human Resource Management(HRM) because in marketing you get the nice job in the good reputed company on a high post..
Yep, most degrees are NOT confined to just one area of careers. With that business degree and depending on the school system, you might be able to teach in some of their schools.
In terms of business administration, there isn't really that much of a difference. A hotel is a company selling a product. Big chain hotels function as multinational companies just like any other.
Hotels as companies follow the same business laws but have some specific industry laws (reimbursement, accounting, VAT breakdown, insurance, etc.) However, every sector has its specific laws.
The main difference is that a hotel sells services to clients that come into the hotel to consume the product (roomnight, seminar, dinner, etc). A "non service" company will sell a product to a customer who will take the product somewhere else to consume (car, washing machine, etc.). So the selling/marketing process works differently. But that doesn't concern management that much.
In order to build on your hotel experience you should try a school that has less marketing and more human resources and accounting studies. Most of the good hotel managers I know, have been front office or revenue managers (former sales managers have the people skills but not always the operations experience). But that's only my own experience.
If, on the other hand, you want to leave hotel business completely, than you should try a sales orientation. If there is one thing you learn in hotels, it's dealing with people. So there you could try marketing, sales, PR studies and get your foot into business through customer service/care.
I hope I answered some bits
u did some great job dude! its so clear to me now!
All business associate degree will give you a foundation in business management including accounting, marketing, sales economics etc…
When you pick a focus like marketing, human resources etc… you will then take 3-5 courses that go deeper into that concentration.
A business management concentration will go deeper into managing people (HR), processes (IT, operations), money (finance/accounting) ..All the knowledge one would need to Supervise and manage a business as a whole.
A marketing management concentrartion will go deeper into educating tthe public about a company's products and persuading them to buy those products. You will learn more about sales, advertising, public relations, consumer behavior and media.
Excellent video. Can you do one on empirical demand function ?
i like fast company
wow!!! superb!!!
thank you, great lecture
AMAZING lesson you are so good at explaining.
I have a Business Management degree and have worked at a non-profit. My choices were not as broad as yours, but here is what I did. I choose general management. Choices were supply chain, general, finance and one other that I can't remember. I went back later on and got a second degree in marketing. Marketing really helped me because all business basics are covered but marketing is always necessary in whatever you do. You have to be able to keep your client happy, you have to be able to attract them into doing business with you. My second degree has actually been favorably looked upon. Maybe you can try something like that.
