1: youth marketers are adults but are there to pitch ideas to the kids that will appeal to them, if they want someone looking over the ideas they should hire someone who is responsable for looking over ideas and finding problems.
2:Our teens of today are maturing in the activitys they do and their attitudes toward things but they are getting younger and younger in age.
3: Younger girls are starting to act older and look older the standards are reducing for society.

Tv industrial complex- buy an add interupt people and buy customers, then more adds and promote
^ it has stopped working in the last few years, its being ignored. People are promoting stupid adds because they have no clue what will work anymore for advertising.
More choices and less time = Ignoring more things that are usual. ex: seeing cows on the side of the road, you dont really look, if you saw the cow but it was purple you would look because it is uncommon.
being safe is now risky, No one will notice it anymore.
you get remarkable you get results

Create relationships with people and freindships. There is a large power in focus and visualization. Sucess should be a journey not a place to stop at. Be creative and figure out what your worth. Surround yourself with the right people that will help you get what you want, and always create a win win situation out of everything. Fill your brain with positive to block out any negative. stretch your brain example - i made 5 grand this month, now i can't make any less.

college Hunk hauling junk/college foxes packing boxes
college hunks hauling junk: The good thing about this company is everyone needs junk removal, quite frequently. It is a good idea because not all people have the time or resources to get the garbage they cant get rid of on garbage day to the landfill. The bad thing about this company is there is a lot of them out there.
college foxes packing boxes: good idea, but not very well thought out. While men would enjoy it what would their wives think? or their girlfriends or daughters, and some people would just call them so that they could see the girls that would be unpacking their boxes. It could potentialy be unsafe for the workers since there are some weird people around.
facebook grows every day, facebook is being compared to google as an upcomming search site that might take over google. There are new ways of making money off facebook thought of every day, its not worth 15 billion. He is constantly inviting more markets to be involved on facebook.
