Here’s something for all you young entrepreneurs and businessmen and women out there….

When thinking about a business in terms of operational growth, managers must consider what their cost structure looks like in order to make those necessary business decisions that they get paid the big bucks to make. In doing so, managers must decide on which cost structure to use – high variable costs and low fixed costs, or the opposite? In today’s modern marketplace each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. However, without knowing the future, it is not obvious which cost structure is better. A company with higher fixed costs and lower variable costs will experience wider swings in net operating income as sales fluctuate, with greater profits in good years and greater losses in bad years. On the other side of the coin, a company with lower fixed costs and higher variable costs, will enjoy greater profit stability and will be more protected from losses during bad years, but ultimately at the cost of lower net operating income in good years.

As a manager, I am constantly evaluating the cost structure of OC Creative Media, Inc. I have found that by smoothly blending the right amount of fixed and variable costs, I am able to prevent the company from experiencing losses while being in the right position to enjoy BIG profits!

Many Saddleback College students go on to find great success in whatever they choose to pursue and former Saddleback student, Marc Abdou, 24, is proof. At the 2008 Emmy Awards Abdou took home an award for his editing work on the 24-show series, “Anthropology; the Evolving Humans.”

Just two years ago, Abdou was working on projects in instructor Charles Myers’ film class here at Saddleback, an experience he now refers to as “essential building blocks” that got him

where he is today.

“Everything I’ve done from that point forward has been directly related [to his first film class at Saddleback],” Abdou said.

Myers adds, “He really grew up a lot while he was a student of mine.”

For such an accomplished person, Abdou is refreshingly modest.

“I appreciate the honor of this award, it’s amazing,” said Abdou. “But, it didn’t change me. I don’t talk about it a lot, I try to stay humble.”

According to Abdou, his studies at Saddleback were crucial to his career in film.

“Saddleback was where I got interested in editing,” Abdou said. “I’m not sure what would have happened if I didn’t go to Saddleback.”

His experience in film has led him to value the importance of staying true to yourself.

“Just be yourself. It’s like in any industry. Everything you work on is a reflection of yourself. If you’re not trying to be yourself every day, it will show in your work,” Abdou said. “Looking for what’s out there already is limiting yourself. Create it yourself, make it your own.”

His advice to those aspiring to make it in the film industry is, “Don’t get wrapped up in the Hollywood hype!”

Abdou is currently freelance editing while maintaining his place on the dean’s list at California State University, Long Beach. His latest project is another 24-show series, similar to the Emmy-winning series, but the new topics are chemistry, anatomy and physiology.
