It helped her work ethic a lot because she just knew how to be a great leader. She didn’t come from money like the other two so it makes me happy that she had a great outcome.

I didn’t write this in my post because I didn’t even view it in this way but it absolutely makes sense. Everyone is given the choice to do what they want with their life but it is just up to them to start living it in…[Read more]

Smith, and Mrs. Field’s all have in common is that they all three are great at running business, they make smart business moves, they are entrepreneurs and they are very hard working. The differences all three have is how they all achieved their goals differently like different strategic plans. Gates dropped out of H…[Read more]

Good point there when you stated that Wanda can go through quality control and testing procedures for her product. These are two great ways to insure that her product is safe for the environment and that it will not cause any harm to anyone when ingesting.

I agree with you when you said, “I would recommend she continue to follow the news + research about the brands that are causing illness and death” for some safety measures. I didn’t think of that when I read it. It opened my eyes to new ways people can learn from their mistakes and takes things more seriously.

A way to protect herself from a negligence lawsuit would be to to write very detailed instructions for the food. Some ideas to write down are: where this food was made, how it was packaged, what states she had it manufactured in  and the…[Read more]

Another point that you added that didn’t even come across my mind until reading your post was how the internet connection can determine if you will be able to use the mobile payment or not. Great point.

It good to know what the benefits and the biggest drawbacks of using this currency.

  • Briefly explain briefly the alternative form of payment that you researched and how it works as an alternative to traditional cash.
    • The alternative form of payment that I researched was Apple Pay. If many don’t know what Apple Pay is I will explain it to you. Apple Pay is something that Apple Inc. created, “it allows users to make payments…

I agree with your post. I was going to answer this question as well but I wasn’t too sure on what to say. You answered it very insightfully.

I agree with your post. When you stated, “because of the positive effects on unemployment rates it has already had in low income/third world nations”. I said something like this in my post as well. Outsourcing gives great opportunities to people in third world countries and help them have money for themselves and their family.

I really agree with your whole post and topic. I like how you went into depth about the stats of this and how it effects people on a personal level. It used to be like a luxury to eat out once in a while now its like the same as buying groceries for your own home.

I feel like so many people relate to this topic so it was great of you to point it out. I go to work in the morning everyday and then to school and finally home and I feel like those prices really add up over time and it sucks.

Those would be my top two as well if I had added my phone to the list. Reading your paragraph made me realize we are all very similar with the apps and websites we go on to daily.
