Associate Business Degree: Business Ethics

My name is Tony Grimaldi.  I am an American student at Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA. I have just finished the course, Ethics For Business Survival.

To survive as an entrepreneur is one of the most rewarding feelings.  This course goes over the many types ofj0316724situations you’ll have to deal with while running a Business.  For example, have you ever felt like the momentum to start projects has just stopped?  This was one of the things that I had experienced while trying to start a Business.  I finally found the answer within this course.

Rewards and Penalties are what keep motivation alive. I realized a fundamental mistake: I never would reward the person who did the most for us, and I would never penalize the person that wasn’t producing what was needed. Using rewards and penalties can be a fun game to play, as the pay off is far beyond just keeping motivation alive.  Basically, it gets the production up!
This is just one of the benefits I got out of this course! It was really fun and I learned a lot!

Business Degree: Prepared for Career

My name is Felipe Pedrosa.  Iím a degree student from Brazil.  I just finished the internship en route to earning my Associate of Applied Science degree in Business Management and Administration from Hubbard College of Administration International.
Completing the degree program was a great experience! The company where I did my internship had never seen the Hubbardís Administrative Technology.  This was actually a positive thing, as this is what I will face once I go back to Brazil to implement Hubbardís Administrative Technology in my family’s company.
I wanted to provide the company I did the internship for with the best guidance possible.  I enlightened them with many references, and I made sure they could apply them once I was gone.  Probably the most impactive thing I did for them was expose the executives to managing by statistics A number or amount compared to a another number or amount of the same thing; method of measuring production. However, it isnít enough to just expose a company to statistics on the internship.  I actually had to increase the statistics once we determined which products to measure!
I now feel secure to implement what I learned in any company.
I would like to thank everyone who helped me get through the program, my father for supporting me to be here and to L. Ron Hubbard for providing the Administrative Technology for all of us!

Associate Degree: Graduate Success!

My name is Brittany Seymour.  I am a degree student from Los Angeles that is working as an account manager at a marketing company while completing the Associate of Applied Science degree in Business Management and Administration at Hubbard College of Administration International.  I just finished the final internship as part of the degree.
The internship was GREAT!  I was really able to see that I have so many tools at my fingertips that can better any company or organization.  I also saw that the changes I was making within the company Iím working at was helping not only the company as a whole, but also the individuals.
Putting to use all that I learned at Hubbard College of Administration International has become something I do every day.  I barely even realize it, but I find myself referring back to the materials from the college to help others all the time.  This data is incredible and the Associate of Applied Science degree in Management and Administration internship really showed me that I can effectively look at any organization, find its flaws and turn the scene around for the better.

Associate Degree: Internship; AN ACTUAL INTERNSHIP!

My name is Miranda Hazen.  I am a degree student from Los Angeles.  I just completed the internship on the Associate of Applied Science degree in Business Management and Administration at Hubbard College of Administration International.
I chose to do my internship at a bridal and evening gown company. This was an amazing learning experience for me and I gained so many wins, as I had to overcome so many challenges.
First of all, I have so much confidence in what I have learned on all of the courses on the degree Program. I have total certainty that I can use all of the knowledge that I have learned. When going into this company, I was able to pin point what areas needed improvement and actually handle them. I feel that I now have so much more confront on many things in life, just by doing this. I am not at all worried about making a successful living on my own now, and itís due to the fact that this program prepares you for anything. It gave me an ability and sense of control that I would have never gotten at any other school out there.
In working in this company I had to use a lot of the basic tools that I have learned.  I used a lot of my communication skills, Affinity-Realty-Communication (ARC) Triangle, the correct gradients, etc. With all of the tools I implemented into her company, I was able to 4x her sales and 3x her production! I also used the HCAI Business Analysis Test to see what the condition her company was in before and after my internship, which showed great improvement.
I also had a wonderful time working with the owner, as I was able to see more closely how the Fashion Industry works. I was able to witness the different day-to-day tasks that she has to do and it was an eye opening experience for me. This was an especially great experience, as my field of interest is fashion.
Overall, this degree program and internship was wonderful! I feel that I now have the ability and strength to succeed in anything I decide to do!

Associate Degree: Confidence After Graduation!

Iím Francisco Chavez, a Peruvian student from Lima.  I just completed the internship for the Associate of Applied Science degree in Business Management and Administration at Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.  With this completion, I earned my diploma.
Iíve gained a lot of experience doing my internship at GaryMichealsOnline.Corp. During this time, I feel that Iíve really applied all the Administrative Technology learned at the Hubbard College of Administration Int’l and have witnessed its results.
Now that Iím done with my degree program, Iím going to start working with my step-dad. As a result of the internship, weíve started a new family business that is going to be running full-on using LRH Admin Tech. In fact, we already have signed our first international artist contract!
Furthermore, during my internship, I thought of a lot of ideas and formulated some plans to apply later for my own business.
It was very satisfying to be able to help my family create a new business as a way to reward them for their support and help in getting me through my studies here at Hubbard College of Administration International.

Associate Degree: New Sales Book

My name is Juan Carlos Ramos P, and I just finished the “Sales” apprenticeship in route to earning my Associate of Applied Science degree in Business Management and Administration at Hubbard College of Administration International.
I had a great time doing this apprenticeship.  The subject of Sales is nothing, but a drill on communication through the application of control and the use of emotion.  The apprenticeship contains drills that actually call for the student to conduct sales in a real setting.  For this, I chose to sell the new book The Complete Guide To Successful Selling, available through the College bookstore.
I was enthusiastic about the book before ever selling it, so I was eager to get started on the apprenticeship.  Also, I didn’t have any objections to selling it, but even if I did, the book covers how to overcome any such objections, which is brilliant!

Associate Degree: My Internship Saved a Company

Associate Degree: My Internship Saved a Company
My name is Damiano Shehu.  Iím an Albanian student from Tirana on the associate degree program at Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.
The ìFinal Internship for the Associate of Applied Science: Management and Administrationî was just great. I got to see how fast this technology could change things. It was nothing short of miracle; a miracle that anyone who applies this tech can achieve.
I worked with a company that designed and produced movie and television props. They had been hit hard by the recent economic crisis. My initial observation was that the company had great potential. However there had been no production for the last 12 weeks: no work, no leads and ultimately no income. Also, I noticed that there was very little outflow of communication and promotional activities.
Based on my initial assessment of their scene, I concluded that the biggest problem that needed handling was promotion.
Therefore, the first action that I decided to do was significantly increase the outflow of communication and promotion. I came to this conclusion, because I saw the company was non-existent and needed to produce something. So, to handle this, I sat with the two top executives and emphasized the importance of outflow and promotion. I doubled the post cards outflow and the reaches for business increased by 250%!
About two days after the first wave of promotion went out, the company received its first job in four months. The company grossed $3,391.27 for that week. I then ensured that they were keeping the promotional actions going. As a result of this, the company closed another job for $7,800.00 the following week. Today, the company closed two more jobs totaling $7,000.00. Thus, the company grossed $18,191.27 in a period of 4 weeks. This was a thousand percent increase over the past twelve weeks, which had zero ($0) income.
When I look back at my progress, I feel proud of what I have achieved. Most importantly, Iím the product of all of the staff members here at the college. They should feel proud of what theyíve done. The results that I have obtained as well as other students are a direct result of their dedication and hard work. And on that note, I thank you for changing my life and making me more able to be successful in my chosen profession.

j0283210Based on my initial assessment, I concluded that the areas most needing change were marketing and promotion. A REAL strategy needed to be developed in order to confront the non-existent amount of reaches the company currently had, and also to get the company communicating their message effectively to their target markets. I presented an outlined strategy to the two top executives and emphasized the importance of its immediate implementation. It was very validating to see that the executives were impressed with my proposed solution and that they agreed to have me execute it. The strategy immediately yielded results with reaches for the company increasing 250%, and a 5X increase in income over just a four-week period!

Career Education: How To Find “THE” Problem In Your Business

Career Education: How to Find ìtheî Problem in Your Business
Eiman Rahnama, an Iranian student from Tehran on the Consultant Levels program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.
How does one find out exactly what is causing the company to stay small?  How does one know where to look?  How does one know if the right reason they thought cause?  How long should it take to evaluate a scene in an organization?  I am sure many executives ask these questions from themselves.  I know I did until I completed my Data Series Evaluator’s Course.  This Blog answers such questions.
No matter how big or small the organization or company, there are some “basic” tools that executives need to have.  One of the most “basic” but very important tools is keeping statistics for every product in the company.  By doing so, an executive can “manage by statistics” and see at a glance how well the company is doing compared to last week or few weeks ago.  Then an executive can see which area of his company is lacking or producing less that it should have.  After gathering some data, he is able to go and inspect the area of production and “evaluate” the scene to find out if there are any outpoints.  However, the executive needs to have an “ideal scene” in his mind, meaning he has to imagine how he wants his department to look like.  For example, how organized does he want the area to be?  How many products does he want made per hour?  Therefore, after going to the “existing scene” he can compare the “ideal scene” with the “existing scene” and find out how different or even similar they are.
After doing some research and some investigation, an executive would have an idea what things need to be handled.  Then he needs to dream up a “bright idea” to handle the scene and the situation.  So, if the scene improved that means the “reason” was the right one and the executive did a good investigation of the area and his evaluation was correct.  However, sometimes the scene does not improve.  The executive must immediately change everything back to what it was before and investigate further.  In addition, it should not take an evaluator more that few hours to complete all the above.  Itís not a task that takes days, but rather hours.  I promise you that if anyone takes this course, he or she will be able to find the right situations and handle them right away.  Investigatory tools are important for executives up on the echelons of management.  The higher the position in the company, the more they need to know how to investigate situations.
I am very interested to know how other executives evaluate their companies and how often do they get the result they are hoping for.

Associate Degree: Seventeen and Just Completed High School

HCA- Blog 20I 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!

My Associate Degree Courses: Sales

HCA- Blog 13

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!
