CHAD HERSHEY.
Hershey wants to bring in Hollywood
agents to lure up-and-coming models and
artists. ‘The Chad Hershey Show'" would
also include a bar, a sit-in dinner theater
restaurant, and a dance floor unlike any
other in Hrie.
Modeling it after the West Coast club
scene, the club will include a big screen
TV, industrial size fans, and lighting
galore, '■'['heme" nights would be tailored
to attract an array of people Hershey
wants high school, college, and family
nights. In addition, Hershey is currently
courting local radio station Star 104 to
broadcast daily from his establishment, as
well as hiring a full time DJ.
Hershey also plans on sponsoring
regular dance competitions. ‘To keep kids
off the street” is a fundamental drive of
Hershey's, and with what he plans to offer,
it would be hard to resist the tug.
Hershey was attracted to the vacated
warehouse of the now closed Don Pablos
Mexican Restaurant at the Pavilion at the
Millcreek Mall when the restaurant closed
a month ago. 1 lershey is now involved in
the arduous process of acquiring the lease,
a tall order to say the least. A $250,000
security deposit is required, and getting
ownership of the former Mexican
restaurant is akin to a juggling act. Then,
after dealing with such disparate tasks as
obtaining the liquor licease and complying
Entrepreneur Chad Hershey is looking into turning the Don Pablos
restaurant building in the Millcreek Mall Pavilion into a nightclub.

with Millcreek zoning board regulations,
Hershey hopes to have “The Chad
Hershey Show” up and running in about
three months, with a staff of 100.
For almost a decade, Hershey has been
steadily gaining business expertise. When
he was 12, Hershey embraced the spirit
of entrepreneurship when he started his
own landscaping company. Chad
Hershey Outdoor Service became his full
time job which he devoted himself to
while attending McDowell High School.
Hershey now holds contracts in New
York, Ohio, and Erie County and employs
as many as 30 people. He intends to let
his involvement in his first company
slacken a bit as he fully takes up the reigns
of his newest brainchild.
Hershey humbly attributes his success
to the practical and spiritual aid of his
family. “My grandpa and my father
helped me get started in life. It is so
important to have backing behind you
especially when you get started at a young
age.”
So, with his latest venture, Chad
Hershey is wagering that “If you build it,
they will come.” Hershey’s philosophy
echoes the magical cornfield murmurs in
the movie Field of Dreams ; with the
"Chad Hershey Show,” the aspiring
entrepreneur has a vision that could beat
even Kevin Costner’s dream.
Dreaming the way t
Learning advisor suggests methods for
achieving students' college goals

Having trouble dragging
yourself off the couch to read 65
pages of Sociology? This is
college, so mom and dad aren’t
going to pester you to get the job
done. This is something students
have to do on their own.
Some experts say the key to
success in college is as simple as
daydreaming your way to the top.
Adele Lynn, proprietor of Lynn
Learning Systems in Belle Vernon,
Pa., advises students to imagine
their most passionate dreams and
goals in order to get their work
done.
“The single most important self
motivator for me is to have a long
term dream that I am passionate
about. It makes all the little stuff
bearable,” she said. She recalls not
having a clear passion as a student
in college, but she knew she
wanted to graduate. For Lynn, that
was enough to keep her motivated.
“I received no great joy from
doing my chemistry homework.
All classes in the
weight room and gym
will still be held in Erie
Hall until further

However, I did have a goal and a
dream, and I knew that if I could
complete one assignment at a time,
“The single most
important
motivator for me is to
have a long-term
dream that I am
passionate about. It
makes all the little
stuff bearable.”
I was getting closer to my dream,”
she said.
International seminar facilitator
and trainer Marsha Petrie Sue
agrees that dreams are the best
notice.

motivators. She recommends that
students visualize themselves in
caps and gowns, how it feels to
hold a diploma in their hands.
For those who have trouble
painting those pictures in their
minds, Sue suggests constructing
their dreams in a tangible form
a motivation board. The board can
be made with cutout pictures and
phrases that represent the
student’s personal goals. With
such a board hanging in study
areas, Sue said students are likely
to be motivated to get the job
done.
Students can also get interactive
with their dreams, talking to other
students or professionals in the
field they wish to enter. Lynn said
this method also helps her in her
career. She and several other
business members make up a
“Dream Team” that meets to
encourage each others’ dreams.
“I find what I say I want to do
in front of my Dream Team
members are the things in my life
and my business that are really
important to me,” Lynn said.

“They help me stay focused.”
In the same respect, students
should steer clear of friends and
acquaintances who are not goal
oriented, or who are aimless and
unmotivated, according to Lynn.
Socializing with such people may
lead a student into a trap where
they begin to slack off.
Finally, she said students might
benefit from a two-track system of
goal setting that includes both
long-term and short-term goals and
rewards. “There are days when I
really don’t want to work on a
proposal or finish a column, but I
know these little steps have a long
term reward,” she said.
Short-term rewards can include
a self-promise of fun. For example,
if an assignment is completed by
a certain time, students may
reward themselves with watching
a movie, eating ice cream or going
out with friends, depending on
their interests. “Such celebrations
are reinforcing and can serve to
keep you focused," Lynn said.
