Doing the Executive Basics apprenticeship brought about fantastic results. You get to drill many scenarios where you are the executive in charge, and you have to make things go right when they are definitely going wrong. You get to actually think with what you learned in the Executive Basics course, ensuring that you can use the tools perfectly. Once you get to the point where you’re drilling the scenarios perfectly, you really see the difference between doing it with the executive basics tools versus doing it without those tools. It is quite a significant difference indeed.

The final part of this apprenticeship dealt with me being in charge of a small group operation that lasts from 5-10 hours. I had to manage three people and get them to get the work done. It was a non-trivial test of my skill as an executive. Not having managed a structured operation like this before made me very excited. I was eager to apply all of the tools that I had garnered in my earlier courses here at Hubbard College of Administration. Specifically, my task was to get 70 surveys of the correct public for a construction company done within a 5-10 hour timeframe. My team and I managed to get all of them done in just over 5 hours. I was able to make the operation run smoothly while simultaneously keeping my juniors interested in getting all of the surveys done within our time allotment. As a result of our success, I feel completely able and competent as an executive, and I feel that I can handle even larger projects without a sweat.

I had a great time during this apprenticeship. I learned that surveys are not only fun but very useful for a business too. By applying the data I learned on the Marketing and Public Relations Surveys Course, I was able to get a great result. I got the buttons, which are the answers that were given the most number of times to each survey question. In addition, I was able to determine the positioning, which is the placement of the product in somebody’s life or mind and in relation to other products, based on the buttons.

When you survey people you get various types of responses. What conventional survey takers usually look for is a yes or no type of question. These types of questions do not bring about an emotional response. It is extremely crucial to be able to get an emotional response.  Once you have an emotional response from your survey question, you can use that answer in your promotion.

I think that this apprenticeship was great, and I would suggest it for anyone that works in promotion and marketing.

The “Formulas for Business Success” course is my favorite course so far taken here at Hubbard College. The tools that are included are invaluable and I learned techniques that, when applied, produce amazing results. I learned from this course that every activity, no matter what it is, is in a certain operating state. And I learned that there is a set sequence of specific operating states that form a progression from the lowest to the highest operating state. Furthermore, there are formulas, which are exact steps to take, to move from a lower to a higher operating state, culminating in attainment and maintenance of the highest operating state power.

I also learned management techniques as well. For instance, instead of managing on guesswork or rumor, you use statistics. A statistic is a number or amount compared to an earlier number or amount of the same thing. Statistics show you what areas in your company are rising, staying steady, or falling in production all at a quick glance. This helps a person make more accurate decisions.  Furthermore, statistics allow a person to correlate his or her actions with sudden changes in production either up or down.

Another datum covered in the course, which when I think about it is common sense, is to reward the people who are producing in a company and penalize the people who are not producing or producing little in a company. It’s very simple but in actuality I’ve seen executives rewarding the people who are not producing and ignoring the people actually contributing to the business. This sends the message that it’s okay not to produce. On the other hand, when one rewards the people producing in a company, it establishes that as the example to follow to the other employees. Thus rewarding the producers says to the group when you work hard at your job and produce you will be rewarded and acknowledged.

This knowledge helped me double my production in many areas of my life. I have never been more efficient! It’s totally real to me that every business should have this data as it would help them tremendously. From first-hand experience, I’ve worked in companies that use this data and they are some of the fastest-growing companies that I know. This course contains the data you need for business success; I recommend you get started on it today!

I have had some great results from doing courses and apprenticeships here at the Hubbard College of Administration. Recently, I did a “Marketing and Public Relations Surveys” apprenticeship at a cosmetics and skincare salon. I went to the business and got information on a certain product that needed to be surveyed in order to promote it successfully. I conducted surveys on the correct public for this product and got great results!

The business owner was very pleased with the work I did for her. She even offered to hire me to do more surveys for her! This really proves that this administrative technology works and that it is extremely valuable.  In addition, she hired me to help her at a Healthy Living Expo last weekend, which was a lot of fun and a great experience!

These offers made me realize that I have such an advantage especially in this stressful time where the economy is doing poorly and a lot of people are having a hard time getting jobs. I wasn’t even looking for a job, and it just fell into my lap because of this data I now know and can use.

I highly recommend that anybody who wants to be successful with their job or business get this administrative technology and apply it.

For this apprenticeship, I was able to work with a few of the people in my office.  There were a lot of small things that I was able to help handle.  People having trouble with their computers, messy desks and incomplete cycles of action are many common things that are seen in my office.

Through this apprenticeship, I was able to do easy handlings and get people to feel 100 times better about their workspace and their ability to get their work done.  I can tell I really helped with things that were slowing these people down not only at work, but in life.  My office is a totally different place to work since I have started doing my apprenticeships there…in a good way! I loved doing this apprenticeship as part of my associate degree program, and I can really see the value of the data I get here at Hubbard College of Administration.

How to make things happen? How to produce what you want? How to survive? Org Board (Organizing Board)! This is the answer!

From doing this course as part of my management degree program, I learned and know the secret of “How to turn things out.” Because imagine that you have a business, but you can’t produce anything, how can you survive?  So org board is one thing that helps you know how to set up your business environment and guide you in a series of steps to achieve the result. Therefore, you get the VFP (valuable final product). Thus you can have a business happen, produce what you want and you can survive.

Besides that, I also realized that so many businesses fail just because they don’t have a workable, correct or real organizing board, or even any at all. The confusion and difficulty happens only from no control.  If there is no organizing board that can be seen, people won’t know how to organize and control their environment. So an organizing board is the really vital basis on having control and organization.

An org board is a tool which shows what the VFP (valuable final product) of one’s business is, what the job’s duties and functions are, and how the different kinds of particles flow, etc.  Working with an org board, you know what you are doing and you are moving towards success. Therefore, it is really important to have it.

Unless the org board really exists, the confusion won’t vanish.

To have a successful business or life, you must have the key, an Org Board.

I first started here about one week ago for my associate degree. The minute I walked in the front door, I knew this was the school for me. The way you feel inside this school is amazing, you feel right at home. The faculty is great and they take the time to know you and make sure to help you in any way possible.

I have finished two courses since I have been here and I’m getting great results on my tests! Who doesn’t like good grades? The best part about it is that I REMEMBER what I learn. It’s an amazing feeling of accomplishment when you learn something, remember it and can apply it.

Usually when you come to a new place whether it’s a school or place of business, etc you have an uneasy feeling. It’s like, you don’t know where you quite fit in; I can tell you that when I came here I knew exactly where I fit in. I fit in right here, maybe you do too!

Associate Degree and Sales

In the beginning of my program I knew that the Sales Course would be the last one in my Associate Degree and honestly I didn’t want to take this course.  It was probably because of the false data I had about Sales. But this course helped me realize what sales really is and that the ability to sell is very important to be successful. When I know that my product is a valuable one and that people will benefit when they buy it, then it is much easier to help people to decide to buy it. It will be an honest, valuable exchange.

If a company or a person can not sell its product in a short while it will be bankrupt even though they produce a superior product and promote it very well. My other biggest realization while doing this course was that every day we sell something: the idea to go watch a movie with friends, to go to a restaurant―just IDEAS! It is really cool!

Associate degree program

The Associate Degree program was an adventure in itself.  However, doing the consultant levels is a next level experience. After finishing my degree program, I felt confident that I could run any company and run any division without any trouble. After finishing Consultant level 0 and Consultant level 1 and doing the internship for them, I feel even more certain that I can and have the knowledge to be an executive in any company. Being a Basic Consultant Intern is quite amazing.  For example, I was sent to a company to help them while I was doing my level 0 and 1 internships. It was interesting that the ED (Executive Director) of the company, the person who was working there for years couldn’t see what I could see. After a few hours inspecting their company, I knew what needed to be done and I obtained the ED’s agreement on everything. Here is an example: the ED wanted me to strengthen the company’s Public Relations Division.  She wanted me to help that division grow so they could reach more public. However, what I noticed was, their Sales Division was undermanned and the best thing for their company was to hire more sales personnel.  If I were to get more public flowing in the company, there was no one to sell to them, so the sales would be lost. This was one of the actions I performed in that company.

I feel great to be able to go in a company and help them grow. Helping others is great, especially in the economy we live in today, but I am confident enough that I can create a viable company in any economic situation.

Career education and human behavior

The How to Evaluate and Predict Human Behavior Course has given me a whole new perception on life.  It has really taught me how to predict human behavior in such an easy manner.   Before doing this course, I just looked at people as regular people not knowing why they acted in a certain way.  I didn’t know what to expect when I was around them. But now after doing this course, I can easily tell what a person is inclined to do.  I know how to predict their behavior very easily.  This is a HUGE ability to have in this world.  It can help you pick whom you want to work with, whom to employ, and better yet, whom to associate yourself with.  I think everyone should do this course as part of their career education, and by doing so it will make the world a better place!
