Blackmail/extort someone (who is rich)
no its actually not. im in the middle of deciding what i want to do with my life and i know i want to do business/marketing. Do you have any good websites or any info that could get me on the right track? ie: school courses-highschool/college. or anything of a sort?
Sorry... I've never formally studied the stuff, and just randomly check things out as I find them.
A good idea (that I've been doing on and off) is to study up on people and products that have made it. How did Bill Gates succeed? How did Larry Page and Sergey Brin, founders of Google, go from small players renting a garage to being one of the biggest companies in the world? Why is Twilight such a success when there are superior book series out there?
Learn to discern their patterns. How did they view things like failure? How smart were they vs how good were they at hiring smart people? (That latter is important! It's often better to befriend an expert than to become an expert yourself.)
Develop multiple skills, and learn how to intermingle them. Scott Adams (creator of the comic Dilbert) didn't get rich because he was the best IT guy, or because he was the best artist, or even because he was the funniest. He got rich because he combined all three skills in a unique way.
You'll find that in order to break the $100,000 a year mark, you need to start getting creative with your career choices.
start a Lemonade stand.
look for business failures (look for companies going bankrupt) and turn them into success.
the only way to make money is to steal other people's businesses.
I may kick their ass in the marketplace, legitimately, but never steal.
I did this. It didn't work.
Easier said than done.
I know people do this but this is where I would draw the line. Not ethical, trampling on others = not worth doing.

There is no ethics in the business world.
Another line of bullshit by cloud. Ever heard of laws?
lolso heres the thing. i am pretty much a master at anything i put my mind to
