Hakusessa

Hakusessa on, miksi auttaisit minua.

Bloggaan tässä yritykseni keskeisestä ideasta.

Väli-etappina on saada aikaan joukkorahoitus, jonka avulla ensinäkin hankkisin lisää aineeksia, tuotteiden rakentamiseen. Ideoiden toteuttamiseen.

Hakusessa on kuitenkin, miksi juuri Sinä tukisit minua.

Mikä olisi sinulle kiinnostava syy osallistua. Mikä saisi sydämmesi riemuitsemaan?

Olisiko syy saada antaa palautetta tuotteen kehityksessä, esimerkiksi lisätä tietty funktio. Puuttuuko jotain joka tekisi tuotteesta täydellisen? Sovellus?

Entäs sosiaalinen tapahtuma – tuotteiden keskellä – näiden esityksessä muiden kiinnostuneiden kanssa? Kotonani?

Olla mukana rakentamassa huomioita sivustosta, jolla jatkossa kehittää yritysmarkkinointia?

Mitä :

Akustiset ratkaisut sisätiloihin. Ääntä hajottavat ja absorboivat ratkaisut.
Taulut, paneelit ja levyt. Voidaan kiinnittää vaihtoehtoisesti ripustaa, kattoon ja seiniin. Sisätilojen ratkaisut, akustinen suunnittelu.
Äänimaailman lisäksi, ratkaisu on taideteos, jopa värikäs. Sisustukseen yhteensopiva.

Käyttöalueet ovat esimerkiksi :

Koti, toimisto, hotelli, konferanssi, musiikkihuoneisto, julkinen tila.
> Kodissa: lastenhuone, olohuone. Bileet. Riehakkat lapset. Sadun lukeminen ilman oman äänen toistoa – kaikua. Stereo- tai elokuvan kuuntelu – myös makuuhuoneessa.
> Toimisto : palaveri- ja kokoushuone, avoin konttoritila.
> Hotelli: konferanssitila, suite, aula.
> Konferanssi: kokouskeskus, messut, näyttely.
> Musiikki: harjoittelutila, teatteri, laitokset, konsertti,
> Julkinen tila: kirjasto, koulu, yliopisto, ravintola, juhlatila.

Miten :

Joukkorahoitus (Crowdfunding): 6-viikon tapahtuma, koko Skandinaviassa. Eri sponsorointi-vaihtoehtoja ja tuotteiden myynti. Konsultointi-palvelut asiakkaan luona toistaiseksi vain Suomessa.
Markkinointi tapahtuu suoralla yhteydellä kumpaankin B2B ja B2C. Myöhemmin maksettu markkinointi, kautta sanomalehdet ja muu jakelu. Rakennus-projektit koulujen kanssa.

Toivottu ydin joukkorahoituksen kanssa on saada palautetta tukijoilta. Palautetta tuotekehitykseen ja vinkkejä siitä miten halutaan koristaa kodin seinät ja ehkä myös katto.

Miksi :

Huomioiden olemassa olevaan melun ongelmiin ympäristössä, miten nämä voidaan ratkaista toimivalla tekniikalla ja kestävällä taloudella.
Parempi ääniympäristö tarjoaa muun muassa: helpompi kuulla musiikin täyden äänimaailmaa, työssä sekä opinnoissa lisääntynyt keskitys – ennen kaikkea parempaa tehokkuutta ja tarkkuutta. Mikä puolestaan antaa pidemmän keskityksen työhön, ja kevyeempi mieli jatkavaan työhön – ja toisillemme.

Jäljellä, lähiviikkoina, on näillä sivuilla saada aikaan :

Tuotteiden tekninen data / Tuoteselosteet
asiakassegmenttien selkeä määritelty
omat rakennukset, kuvineen, näkyviin
ymmärtää julkiset hankinnat

Eli palautetta saa antaa 🙂

My tools on my road to entrepreneurship

It started about 6 months ago. I saw a photo on Facebook (FB). I didn’t understand what it was I was looking at. The research started.

I found this was something I would want to produce myself, and see, does anyone else want one.

This story is however not about the product(s), but about the tools I selected for my road towards entrepreneurship.

How to build a website? Any free alternatives? I asked friends who had their own businesses. I can’t quite seem to remember how I stumbled upon WordPress (WP). One source is a student I was mentoring in the step to find work, is a frequent blogger, and presented me the website of these blogs. Other sources were the many blogs and guidances on the net. Many artists show their work on WP. I do remember needing to study, do I want a server (.com) based, or a program (.org) running on my own PC. Well, I wanted a solution that I can access from any computer, or location, and I did not want to depend on my own PC, neither on it operating as a server.

Next, I needed to register a domain. A working web address, based on the company name I had in mind. I selected GoDaddy. A straight-forward user interface. A yearly reservation fee that I can live with, even in case I would not be able to get enough air under my company wings to fly.

Then I spent weeks figuring out how to add pages, create a menue, create a static (main) page that doesn’t look like a blog. Widgets! Then, the various plugins, such as a commentary field and a function for enlisting to a newsletter. How to link to FB. How to link from FB.

I am a fairly introvert guy. So far I have had 3 major simply marvelous experiences, resulting in outright scream of joy. 1^st was managing to create the link so that typing the company address (domain name) in the browser takes the user to land on the WP website address. The 2^nd and 3^rd came from making the commentary and newsletter function work. All new to me, and with an atmosphere of magic.

Having studied the plugin functions, by searching discussion forums and reading “WP for dummies”, this brought me to MailChimp and AWeber. More study of recommendations, forums and instructions. Youtube is great source of instructions. AWeber manages newsletter sign-up forms. MailChimp is the tool to build good newsletters. Sort of like an e-mail account.

Eventually it dawned upon me that it would be more useful to register an e-mail address that reflects the business I wish to enter. GoDaddy offers, again, a fair deal. A package of MS Office tools, with its 365.

Parallel to the world of internet, I discovered VBA coding. This grew from a need to go from 2D graphs to visualizing planned product in 3D. In excel. To be able to assign certain elements their own colour.

Next

Next, is to launch a crowdfunding (CF) event. Thereafter, CF successful or not, I want to set up an e-store. To find a good platform, and keep this running. Remaining is also to get active in a few other social media sites. Twitter, Pinterest. And to pay for active marketing, where every change can be measured, and therefore strategically planned.

Negative experiences?

Yes. GoDaddy offers, for free, to create an e-mail account under your domain name. I needed, for the newsletter, a ‘do-not-reply’ e-mail address. Which gives you 100 times to send a message. Which I created, and successfully got operational with MailChimp and newsletter sign-up. To the extent of planting my hand on my forehead and a jaw-drop, I had to accept loosing the ‘do-not-reply’ option as I purchased the Office package. Well, it only takes some time to set up the new function. But, nevertheless, a disruption to the sweet passage of green-light-crossing I so far had experienced.

The author Martin R.C. Andersson is an
engineer who has a soft spot for project management.
He has a keen interest in audio equipment.
Especially studio-level quality of monitors, and always looking for noise-free listening… to be a norm. Values silence, and now and then some solitude.
Thinks Yoga is a mental state of being when thoughts flow long enough to reach conclusion. Thinks Mindfulness is a state of being when work really gets done – done well.

When the outside world is successfully tuned out.
Feels best when Minimalism, Functionalism and Art come together, cross their paths.

Self-management

I have a passion for Self-management.

Anyone certified within project management, has a deeper insight into managing projects – and others. What about managing (your-) self?

I normally read a lot. In the latest 2 years, books have however accumulated to almost 1 meter shelf. (I travelled a lot and picked up books I found interesting). I got busy in researching about company start-up and crowdfunding.

The book that broke this shelf-trend is “Talk like TED” by Carmine Gallo.

( I received this book from my sister Sara, who had picked up on my interest on TEDx talks on Youtube, especially on subjects about presentation technique and preparation for interviews. An interest of mine, as I have yet to step out of my comfort zone and hold a presentation for a large audience.)

Most of us are familiar with the importance of the need of passion for a subject of presentation. And preparation. This book digs further in the area of what is passion. How do successful speakers define passion, and the audience. Not to spoil your own reading, I will stop here.

Another passion I have, very closely linked to self-management, is the making of mind-maps. I have notebooks filled with them. And then I continued digitally, on Ipad. (Simplemind is a good app)

( My wife Polina picked up on my passion for this. Probably because I had mentioned this on many different occasions. She found me a book whilst we botanized in the library-shop of the Ermitage museum… she nailed my inner being with “The book of Trees” by Manuel Lima.)

This book is an object of art in itself. Apart from hundreds of various ways of knowledge visualizations, and techniques of branch-visualization, he presents an almost chronological book starting with a historic study into the subject, to his own research and specialization into computer-aided visualization of knowledge branches.

I can strongly recommend both books!

body wants to run

That feeling…

…when your body craves to run, but you know you are too sick to work out.

After some 8 months of running 3 times per week, I have managed to avoid any serious flu or related sickness.

After a one week stay away from the treadmill, there is a certain accumulated energy that needs to be tamed.

Other, equally important sides, to physical exercise is the feelgood walking-on-cloud feeling afterwards, as well as the thoughts-processing environment.

I may feel as if I get a lot done whilst away from the exercise. This may be true in a short time perspective. However, we all know exercise is good for your mind, soul and body.

I consider running is an excellent means of Yoga and mindfulness.

Can’t wait to get back on the mill.
