Come up with a crazy business idea.

Bloganuary 2024

I did a serious business plan when I studied entrepreneurship. It isn’t a crazy plan; it could be a serious one. My ideas aren’t crazy. They try to be as realistic as possible. The plan has changed since then. It was 2018. I must have been mad if I thought web design would be one of my services. You can call me a serial offender when it comes to making plans. But you are allowed to change your plans.

The general idea was to do digital graphic design. I would use my own photography and maybe sell them separately as well. My business would be for small and medium-sized companies based in Finland. Especially female entrepreneurs. My clients would also be foreigners living in Finland, so my clients could work with me in English. I can also work in the Swedish language. I’ve had clients when I studied web design, so working with people isn’t new. I liked it when I could work whenever I wanted, and for a while, I kept thinking about starting a graphic design business. I’m not a brave person who can start something like that. I don’t even have work experience in the field, and my portfolio isn’t super good. I thought about getting a part-time job, but I had no luck. I sent an application a few days ago but haven’t heard from them. Maybe that is a lost cause. It’s probably hopeless to get any work experience.

Having a business is a little romanticised. It’s hard work; they say it can take a few years to profit. That’s a bit of a turn-off. I don’t want to wait that long. I need to get money somewhere. It feels like I belong to a group of people who are destined to live on welfare. What worries me the most about having a business is finding paying clients. I don’t even get likes on Instagram. I have to like my own posts. Likes differ from getting a client, but marketing your business isn’t easy. Maybe it’s a crazy business idea of some sort, but it could also be a true one. I hope I can make a decision about what I truly want.

Bloganuary: The mission unknown

What is your mission?

Bloganuary 2024

My mission depends on what it is. In life, I don’t know what my mission is. But my life isn’t planned ahead. In the end, it’s you who should have the choice of how to live it. At least as far as you can control it. You must have some luck, but I’m not a lucky dog. It doesn’t even get close to me. Maybe I’m doing it wrong. I’ve applied for a graphic design job, but who knows if I get close to it. At least, that’s a mission accomplished. No one can blame me for not trying.

I hope my mission is not about forgetting to live my own life. My father is turning 80 this year, and his memory is not the way it used to be. I hope I don’t need to take care of him and forget my own life. I don’t want my life to change that much. It might sound selfish thinking about this, but it feels like I haven’t lived as much as other people my age. So far, my father is doing fine by himself, but you never know how things could change.

My current mission is to find a job or some kind of work where I can earn money. Other missions are unknown.

Bloganuary: Asking Help with iPhone Bluetooth problem

What could you do differently?

Bloganuary 2024

What I wish I had done differently was getting that package I ordered to the post office instead of pick up point. My Bluetooth doesn’t work on my iPhone, so I can’t get it out of the locker. I’ve tried a lot of different ways to fix the problem. Updating the software, and reloading the phone. It seems like I’m the only one with the same problem. I even went to the store where I bought my mobile, but they didn’t know what to do either. They gave me a number to call, but what good will that do? I have time until January 12 to get the package or it will go back to the sender. Sigh, I’m lost. I doubt anyone here can help how to get my Bluetooth to work on my mobile. It goes on and off again. The Bluetooth, that is. If something is broken, I’m not gonna buy a new phone just because of that. I reset the network connection, but still Bluetooth won’t work. If I factory reset the mobile, I must start again. All the fuss with the apps and passwords. Seem too much work. It might still not work. Sometimes, technology makes me crazy. Why aren’t these things never clear?! Since the Bluetooth doesn’t work, I can’t download photos to my Mac laptop. Maybe it’s a total lost cost. Does anyone have any ideas about what to do? Or are you as lost as I am about this problem?

What irritates me the most is the package that I can’t get out of the locker because of a Bluetooth problem. I was so looking forward to the product I bought. If I only could get it some other way, but I guess it’s too late. The product is sold out, so I can’t order it again. Not a very fun way to start a year. No Bluetooth, no ordered package. This is not a problem I wanted to start with, but there you go.
