I am 16 and I want to become a corporate lawyer at a big corporation advice?
Get into a top law school and finish at the top of your class.Seeing as you are 16 you first have to get into a first rate university.You have about two years left in high school to get straight A’s (hopefully that was your GPA last year). Also you need A’s in advance placement classes and a high SAT score and later a high LSAT score.If you haven’t been getting great scores on IQ tests in the past you should change your goals.The good part about high achievement in college is that if you change your mind (you’re only 16) it will stand you in good stead to do something else you might be interested in.And being smart and having an excellent education is “a good in itself.” It’s more enjoyable to go through life as an educated person than otherwise. You understand the great debates and issues of the day. You enjoy books, movies and magazines more IMHO.So stop spending so much time online right now and get back to hitting the books.
What are the best entrepreneur related movies and documentaries to watch?
Jerry McGuire (1996) starring Tom Cruise was an inspiration for me resigning from the Corporate World to do my own thing in 1998I had no idea what I really wanted to do only that like Jerry McGuire I didn't want to keep treading the Corporate treadmill and climbing the Corporate ladder I was then lucky enough to work for a year with an entrepreneur (before he was famous) who went on to appear as one of the judges on Dragons Den in the UK (known as The Shark Tank in USA) where I learned what it meant to become an entrepreneur and how to build a business By 1999 I had to get a paid job again to pay the bills and fortunately that led to me meeting my now business partner and co-founder After two years of getting to know my business partner and developing our plans in 2001 we launched our own start up Audio Network which we have grown organically at a CAGR of 40% per annum from a bootstrapped start up into a profitable international group The funny thing is that the entrepreneur who later starred on Dragons Den passed on the opportunity to invest in our start up which has already produced a 400 times return on the initial share price of one penny per share for the seed financiers who backed the start up I respect his judgment as at the time he couldn't get his head round intellectual property rights which underpin our business model but still remind him from time to time how much he could have made if he had bankrolled our start up Following the sale of his successful non IPR based business he did a Harvard MBA and now really understands the value of intellectual property rights !

How does the Arbonne consultant compensation plan work? For someone who wants to begin slowly?
I may have answered this question for you via my website, but I thought I'd respond here as well. You can sign up as a wholesale buyer with Arbonne for $29. This entitles you to 35% off every order you place for the year. There are no minimum requirements to buy and you do not have to sell anything. You simply get the discount when you want or need something. If you sell to others you make a 35% profit off every order they place when they pay retail. If they decide to become a wholesale buyer, you will then get 4% of their overall sales. There are additional discounts as well. For every $50 in retail volume spent you can receive a Not-So-Basic body lotion, or a cleansing gel, or a hand cream, or a foot cream for only $6 each. They retail between 14-19.50. Forevery $150 in retail volume spent you can get the Re9 anti-aging body lotion and body serum for $20 in a gold bag, which retails for $85. For every $250 in retail volume spent you receive $100 worth of products for only $20. You can also receive the travel sizes of the RE9 line in a tote for $45. Your first month signed up as a wholesale buyer, if you spend $100 in retail, you receive a product worth up to $100 for free. The extras give you a chance to try other Arbonne products to see what all works for you and your family. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to visit my website and send me an email. I'd be happy to help out.

What's the single best book on management for managers moving up the corporate ladder (and with very limited free time)?
The most concise book on Management has got to be Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management, which is about 3” x 6” and 60 pages long. Not only that, it either is or was available for free from Raytheon (8 years ago): Investor Relations : News ReleaseBut I don't think you can learn good management skills in one book. If management is where you see your future, you're just going to need to be in the habit of learning about management if you want to do it well (just like anything else).If you don't have the time to read, you will be amazed at how much you can learn by listening to audiobooks instead of reading a physical book. There are definitely books you need to sit down with but most you can learn just as much by listening on your morning commute, while folding laundry, doing the dishes, and just about any other time your hands are busy but your ears are not.Now that I feel I've broken out of requirement for one book (cheater!) I'll recommend also looking at Winning by Jack Welch And Simon Senek’s talk on Leadership: Why good leaders make you feel safe(in addition to the other answers here, and as much else as you can read/listen-to).
