Tell us more about this strange 13 letter word of French origin!!! Does it have magical money giving power, (sorry if I'm a little hyper, really boring day in school today!!!)

en·tre·pre·neur [ahn-truh-pruh-nur, -noor; Fr. ahn-truh-pruh-nɶr] - A really awsome person who cant stand sitting on their butt for nothing. The term is generally applied to people more active, especially in the money making relm. For example, setting up an online store to get some cash flow in, and instead of spending this "cold hard cash", one invests it.

But yeah, No, I basically made this form if you are an entrepreneur. I think that if everyone where an entrepreneur, the world would be a better place, why?

Because you need a different mind set. Thinking positave is key. We could start up a whole other converstation about thinking positave. Anyway, are any of you accociated with DECA or some form of money making activity?

Let's see, I am working on starting my own video company or something, I have done a number of freelances for other people and made a ridiculous amount of money off that. I can't work at fast food places now because I have tasted the fruit of above minimum wage and can't go back I might try to get a job a a video studio here in town too. Here is a link to my latest professional work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6pZWNrvwGQ
It's a promo for the Trollwood performing arts school that I shot and edited under the direction of a fellow director who just finished work on his first feature length film this past spring. Edited in FCP boo yahh!!! It was paint to edit though, we had so much footage and our av was out of sync for some reason and we are ripping 4 year old footage off beta tapes and it was a nightmare!

FCP FTW

Haha, yeah. I looked at some sections of your video. Pretty spifty. So you do freelancing? Hmm.... Would you know how to develope an OScommerce site? And possibly establish SSL if I bought a hosting plan?

i have no clue what you just said, so i guess i dunno how. lol

Hmm. No. I only have an elementary knowledge of web design, I can do XHTML, CSS, a very small amount of Java, and some PHP but NO E-COMMERCE, that stuff baffles me. I have never been paid for developing web sites, there is one guy, (my drama teacher in fact, who happens to be the founder of a prestigious performing arts school in my area. aka Trolwood.) but anyway, he wants me to construct a web site like youtube for an international web hosted monthly or weekly film festival, volunteer. I told him he's nuts.

Yeah.. I should hire you........... Can you enable SSL?

I don't even know what SSL is, does that fall under the category of elementary web design?

I may not be an entrepreneur of any kind, but I do enjoy making pizzas! lol maybe someday I'll be rich...maybe not. More likely not, but oh wellz! I don't mind!

Connor go make yur fancy money and have fun. I'll go to college and make plenty to get by and have fun with it!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve! Which means tomorrow's Christmas Eve, and then CHRISTMAS!!! YAY!!!!!

Merry CHRISTmas!!!

Love,

People who make pizza are vital to the existence of man so keep it up!!!

the world needs ditch-diggers lol

SSL is e-commerce. It is a protocol used to transmit confidential documents, such as credit card numbers. The URLs that use SSL usually start with https:// instead of http://.

Connor, what do you need SSL for?

The topic at hand:
Investing is a great way to make money, but you have to save to invest. Investing works best when it is in large amounts, which most people our age do not have. Therefore, putting your money in a high yield account, such as ING, can help you save your money and earn money as you save. They are complementary, and not so much competing.

Yes yes, listen to the sane person upstairs ^^ I have a little money in CDs and stuff but most of it is in video equipment.

On SSL: Ok I did not know that. I have no clue how to work it but at least now I know what it is:) I don't think I would be using one of those though, paypal offers a perfectly acceptable solution for small internet based businesses who don't have the IT support or server power of the big guys.

*Gets on paypal*

Ok with a premier account (that's what I have) you can get web site payments standard. It allows you to have a shopping cart on your page but paypal does all the extra work of SSL. You can accept most credit cards and of course, paypal itself. It's free but you do get charged for each purchase.

The transaction fee is about $0.30 + 2.9% for the standard and for pro it's even more. In pro the user never leaves your web site because there is an embedded app that sends the data to paypal, in standard they are directed to paypal and then back to your site.

Wow that was a long post. LOL
