Hello, future friends!
Before starting this brief (at least I'm trying to keep it that way) introduction, I'd like to make an apology of any grammatical, syntaxical or otherwise bad language errors. I'll try my best to keep it as well written as possible, but there will be mistakes.
I'm recently graduated with a masters degree in Communications, and work at...eh. I'm not entirely sure what the correct english term is, but we draw, sell and hire entrepreneurs to build houses (single houses and multi-family houses only). I like my job and my co-workers a lot, but something is missing. Mostly the opportunity to be in a place where I can be involved in strategic decisions and be in the front of change and innovation.
So, as of now, I'm at the start of a start-up - and that's pretty much the reason I joined this forum - to learn from other entrepreneurs with experience and knowledge. I do have some of it myself, as I've run a semi-successfull freelance business and co-founded a workshop-based program for connecting investors with people who are "on the outside of" society and have solutions to their own problems - but not the ability to do something with it on their own.
I've learned a bit, especially how important it is to choose the right partner and the consequences of a bad recruitment-strategy. The employee has a lot of rights i Norway, and if you get a bad seed in your business - it may take a lot of cash and time to get rid of said person.
In my former engagements, I've mostly been involved in my area of expertise, which is marketing, communications, networking and partly developing the organization itself. Not so much in finances, sales or the technical aspect of things.
My biggest issue, as I know of that is, is that I'm not disciplined enough to follow an idea through a longer period of time. I've got a lot of doable and un-doable ideas, but just as I've started with one - something else consumes me. That is something I'm seriously looking into, and hopefully I get a lot of inspiration to become a more disciplined and focused entrepreneur.
Well, that's me! See you guys around.
