Interior design and decorating touches our lives in a very direct way--we all live in interiors, and most of us work, study, shop, and travel inside buildings, vehicles, and other enclosures. At one time or another, almost everyone has been an interior designer or decorator on a limited scale--when choosing a paint color or a rug, when buying furniture, or when arranging furniture in a living space. For these reasons, interior design and decorating is -- or should be -- of interest to everyone. This course will help you understand the basic principles of interior design and decorating to both improve your life and set you in a new direction for your career! 

Have you ever eaten a Mrs. Fields cookie? Used an Apple computer? Listened to a hip-hop CD? Entrepreneurs brought these products to your world. For an entrepreneur, the sky is the limit as far as earnings are concerned. An entrepreneur is someone who has recognized an opportunity to start a business that other people may not have noticed -- and jumps at it skillfully. Entrepreneurs can shape and create an opportunity where others see little or nothing -- or see it too early or too late.
