1. A good education in the foundation of the skills you might need such as work ethic, ability to get dirt on your boss and blackmail them with it, brown nosing and kissing up.
2) This is for morons who have nothing else better to do than to develop a mission statement, a vision statement, or a manifesto. This gives the non doers something to read at the meetings and feel like they did some work. On the other hand, the big bucks guys usually do that, so, have one of each, and read it as if it came from the Bible or something. Be dramatic. You might BS your way into a senior position. Once there, keep only two expressions on your face besides blank... bemused and thoughtful.... when asked anything, first chuckle to yourself and dont say way, then turn very serious and think about it as if it would bring world peace. Eventually the asker will become nervous and wish to simply leave and solve the problem by themselves. If they linger, simply go through these two expressions over and over until they DO leave. As a last resort, start with a bemused, then turn, changing to thoughtful, and walk away. They won't DARE to speak. If they do. Fire them.

3) It better be about personal goals. You're not here to build someone else's pyramid and remember, just as soon as there is a crunch on the bottom line, they're shipping your job to India, so yeah, set some personal goals and take care of number 1 first.

4) See blackmail your boss above. Nobody cares if you're Lenardo Di Vinci if all they want is a painter. Learn to undermine your competition and derail their success while kissing up to the top and marrying one of their daughters.

5) Your local news. Do you really think that the multi billionaires are putting in a real day's work? Please. He chuckles at this and then turns thoughtful....hmmmmmm.....

1) You can make it, but there's no place to sell it? That's a pretty fundamental "relationship" is it not? This ties in with market creation and advertising. Do it in reverse. Sell it, and THEN make it. That's where the phrase " allow 4-6 weeks for delivery" came from. Hmmmmmmmmmmm ha ha ha hmmmmmmm.

2) Key factors in building a clientele would be personal relationships, kissing up to THEM, a few well placed bribes, and the ability to do what you say you'll do when you say you'll do it.
The bemused and thoughtful routine will work here as well with the grubby ones, at keeping the bribes and pay offs to a minimum.

3) Certainly mass communication has it's place, however two big sweaty guys named Morie and Gus with lousy dispositions can often motivate a client into larger than anticipated purchases.
This way you can sit back and chuckle and then think about it.

4) Advertise it like crazy. Pay off reporters to talk about how it's a craze that's swept the country. Hold a news conference and announce you'll be taking numbered orders, advertise that, and once you have the money, THEN have the product made. Hold them back in stores so people fight over them. Stand in the glass of your upstairs office and look down on them and chuckle...and then think very thoughtfully...hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

The question asks, "creating my OWN business project", I think you should trust yourself more, you will find it quite fulfilling to recieve a good grade with all the effort you've done. Asking on yahoo, is basically cheating. Business projects are pretty easy and if you can't create one, you need to stop sleeping in class...because the questions you just asked are really simple.
