Hundreds, perhaps even thousands of proud, long standing firms have been reduced to a shell and often wiped out entirely by their market’s collapse. Good, decent people became mere helpless observers as the work of a lifetime, perhaps even that of past generations was erased overnight by the financial tsunami.

With so much blood on the floor, anyone coming fresh to the concept of running a business had better bring their best game, and a strong education in business matters is thus more essential than ever.

In line with most seats of learning, the Lewis University in Illinois offers a comprehensive course of tuition which covers every major aspect of being in charge, then rewards those who can show they deserve it with an impressive qualification known as a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership.

The folks at Lewis promise this course will imbue any graduate with the full range of skills needed to not only run a business, but to then guide it safely through troubled waters should the downturn cause their new firm to endure some uneven seas.

Their reputation for helping students succeed is spotless, so if you have any plans for a firm of your own this is an option you need to explore…

In a word, a Ferrari.

But luxurious transport of so high a caliber does have its drawbacks; The cars are superb, but Ferrari parts are hard to find. And life gets even harder when the bill becomes due.

Of all the problems modern life can present, there are few we could actively want. But this one is surely among them. If you have the good fortune to already face it, I don’t need to tell you the envy you cause.
