Our Own Mark Zuckerburg

As some of you know and many of you do not, we have a player on our team who is quite the entrepreneur.  He has an extremely creative mind and has a knack for coming up with ways he can make money, by being his own boss!

After the jump check out who this is, and let's see if his businesses passed or failed.

Sprolsie is our team's Bill Gates....I have only known Kyle for less than a year, and these are some of his businesses that I know of.  Who knows how many he actually has started.



Business #1 - Chuck's Cuts - FAIL
     Kyle started this business in the Bittner 1st floor bathroom on the north side of the building.  He coerced ignorant freshmen to pay $15 for a haircut by a man named Chuck.  Sounds pretty shady, especially since this Chuck character has a mohawk and learned how to cut hair by experimenting on his dog's, with his eyes closed, with nothing but a pocket knife.  The 200 business cards printed for Chuck's Cut were used as toilet paper for Bittner 1st floor.
   




Business #2 - Pretty Kyle's Pizzas - SUCCESS
     This business was ran with the marketing major (and to die for Ron Paul fan) Freddie Behnkie.  They bought frozen pizzas from Cosco and resold them.  I was not on campus for this business however I heard stories of Pretty Kyle's Pizzas doing things such as: telling people it was Digiorno, having friends make their deliveries, and not telling customers that the pizza was frozen and bought from Cosco for $4.99 (with "Not for Resale" signs on them).  The reason this business was graded as a "success" is because they made hundreds of dollars due to the markup of $23 on each pizza.




Business #3 - Three Odd Guys - SUCCESS
     Started when he was 15, Kyle (head odd guy) and his two other odd friends started a business. They go around Lancastervilleburgh doing odd jobs around the house such as mulching, cutting grass, bringing the newspaper/mail inside, getting cats out of trees, getting the kids from the school bus, putting christmas lights up, ringing the doorbell and saying "HEY GUYS!" to wake up and brighten people's days, etc.



Business #4 - Mr. Watermelon - FAIL
     In J term 2011, this man brought a slushy machine back to school in hopes of making it big.  He made slushies for people on the floor for free however, he charged other people $2.50 for a slushy. AND he charged extra for Watermelon because he wanted it all for himself.



Future Business Proposal - Learn How to Play Battlefield
     Kyle sometime hopes to create a business where he can do what he loves while making money.  He loves playing video games, especially Battlefield.  After watching him play, you would think that the video game is real life, and he is actually getting injured when his character gets shot.  He hopes to reach the point where people pay to watch him play while he gives them tips as to how to play like him.
