My name is Jack Cheng. I’m a Taiwanese student from Kaohsiung on the Associate of Applied Science degree program at Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.  I just finished the “Financial Planning” course and apprenticeship.

“INCOME GREATER THAN DISBURSEMENT” is the major thing in the business world. Indeed, one purpose for any company is “making money.” Obviously a company can’t survive without it. However, just focusing on making money isnít enough. When you’re making money, you will have disbursements (bills, purchase orders, rents, taxes, etc.) that need to be managed carefully.  Poor management of such disbursements result in negative consequences.

In this course I learned the policy about how to handle the financial particles in a company. Then, in the apprenticeship, I put all I learned into a company. That is a good way for me to learn finance. Before I learned it, I thought finance was a complex subject, and I wished I didnít have to touch it. Yet, after this course and apprenticeship, I felt good about it. I realized that the subject of finance isn’t the game of figures, but the flows in a company. If one can manage the flows well, he can manage the finances well.

Now, I have more confidence on how to handle the financial situations that arise in a company, and I have more tools to manage financial particle flow. The subject of finance is no longer a problem for me. I am glad to have this knowledge in my life.

I have never enjoyed or was fond of financial planning. However, after studying the financial planning course at Hubbard College, it started to seem more doable and in some ways enjoyable. As all other courses, I had an apprenticeship after. During my implementation of the technology of financial planning, this subject became easy, doable and somewhat fun. I had to take the current scene to an ideal scene of how finances are supposed to be organized and handled. A lot of companies have somewhat of a financial planning committee, but does it actually function? Does it result in solvency? Well, I think we have the answer to that, “IT’S THE ECONOMY” excuse. People go bankrupt, because of this economy and how bad the finances are. After having this technology of how money is handled, how to remain solvent, how to cause expansion and how to build up a cushion to fall back on, our problems are solved and the ìeconomyî is no longer the cause of all our problems.

Imagine all nations solvent, organizations expanding and people paying all their debts. Wouldn’t that be the ideal scene for this planet? Well, the technology is there and open to all public, even you. It’s about time we become cause over our financial situation and apply the correct and effective financial Planning.

I am Felipé Pedrosa, a Brazilian student from Manaus, on the associate degree program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

The “How to Increase Profits through Proper Financial Planning” course was long; however, one of the most important courses I have done here at the Hubbard College of Administration. The course showed me solutions to problems I couldn’t see before:  How to handle the equipment (assets) of the company, how to handle the company and its staff in a time of crisis, how to structure a financial system that controls both out go of funds and income to a point where solvency and viability can exist constantly are a few examples of what I can now handle effectively. There is much more in this course that has helped me see vividly how financial planning works.

After completing this course, I can really see what is happening to the world economy and how we could solve the crisis or help get the economy back up again.  I learned in this course that “MONEY IS AN IDEA BACKED BY CONFIDENCE.” Furthermore, that many contemporary economists spread the idea that there isn’t money in the market doesn’t help but degrades the situation even more and creates panic throughout the population. If there isn’t money in the market, one must motivate the citizens to increase their production–not by spreading negative news. In terms of companies, they have to promote, which is the opposite of what big corporations do in troubled times.  If there is an internal or external financial crisis, one must begin with produce/promote, then carry through with surveying, marketing, and sales and finally deliver the service or product.  This gets a company or a country back on track again.  This is the cycle.

The course presented parts of the financial planning world that I was not familiar with. This is fantastic. I am confident that once these data are applied in an apprenticeship and grooved in, I will be able to apply them in my company creating solvency and viability and improvement in the company’s ability to exchange with its customers, yielding an abundance of commercial expansion.

This is Elena, an Associate Degree student of Hubbard College of Administration. Today, I was reading the news about what is going on in my country, Russia, and I found this article:

“‘According to the latest official figures almost two million Russians lost their jobs between January and the end of March. This combination of rising unemployment and rising prices is what some analysts believe could lead to unrest unless the situation improves in the near future,’ says the BBC’s Richard Galpin in Moscow. ”

As part of my Associate Degree, I took the course “Financial Planning.”  Knowing this, I can see that only incompetent, ignorant financial management could wind up in such a crisis. This course gave me the data on how to increase my income, how to build up reserves of my company, control business expenses and set up a system that allows fast and accurate overview of the financial situation, etc.  This is incredible data!

Having this knowledge and APPLYING it no Crisis can occur! I really believe that managing any company, or even more importantly managing a country, is a big responsibility, which demands knowledge! Management of any group should know this! I can even say, “Must know this!” Maybe some governments need to redo their management career education subject and get adequate knowledge that works!
