Hello!
This day was hard. But more fun that I thought it would be. I really enjoyed the Dragon dungeon atmosphere we had before the presentations.
But I'm not going to tell you about today or dull business stuff that I've learned (for the prep team: they were not really dull things!) I'm going to tell you about what have I learned about myself during this trip.
First thing that I learned was that I'm not that funny in english as I'm in finnish. (Now my friends are thinking "you're not so funny in finnish either") Anyway, I've been able to communicate with people much more easier than I was expecting.
Other thing that I was glad to notice was that all people no matter where they come from are quite similar, yet so different. I think we all were nervous about something when we came here and we all were thinking that we are the only one being afraid. It's more easier to be relaxed with people you don't know and who's language you don't speak than I first thought.
Now I don't have much time to write my blog because Joe stole my computer (that I borrowed from Kadri) so I just say one more thing. There's a really nice people in the world, find them and get to know them better. It's rewarding.
(Sorry Kadri this wasn't at all what it was supposed to be)

Dear readers,
I was supposed to write you an article about the businesses we visited today but I don't think that's going to happen. I tried to listen and learn about what they do but I was so distracted by my fever I couldn't pick up a thing. All I can say is that the farms were very lovely and the dogs were the highlight of the day. Food was tasty and the weather was sunny but I was still freezing!
Better day tomorrow...

Hi there readers!
Today I have learned a loads of things of how to become and be an entrepreuneur. Now I'm going to tell you the secrets of those lessons.
First you have to have a passion for being an independent worker; for work for yourself. You have to have an idea of what you wanna do. What do you love and what are you passioned about. Then you have to gain the skills needed to do your thing. You learn by doing.
Writing business plan is important when you're about to start a business. It's the key you need to get where you wanna go. I'm not going on detail of what you should have in your business plan because you can find it on the internet.
Today's lessons and practises were useful and I learned a lot. Mostly I learned how to work in a group and how to benefit from others (in a good way). Working in a group is also a good idea in businesses because everybody is different and has different kinds of views. You really have to account that your customers are different too so your point of view isn't necessarily the right one.
Remember to relax also in the business world once in a while like we are going to do in this evening via folk dancing!

Hi reader!
I have arrived here in Malvern from Lapland Finland. Finland is scandinavian country next to Sweden and Russia. Climate there is cold and sometime quite arctic. Actually I live on The Arctic Circle. Santa is there too and believe it or not I'm one of he's elves. (Extra points from Santa for my blog readers!)
In Finland the 4H is the biggest youth organisation. I joined them last year when I went one of its business courses. Now I have my own 4H business called Antivaate. I make clothes from recycled materials. I live in Rovaniemi where the most popular activity in 4H is wild herbs. We have courses where we collect wild herbs and make different kind of products from them. All kinds of forest related stuff is also very big thing in Finland's 4H.
I'm exited (and also little nervous) about the coming week. We have so lovely people here so I think we're going to have so much fun! I'm expecting to gain a lot of confidence by talking with people from different countries. Even though speaking english all the time is a little exhausting. I'm looking forward to the business lessons and what we are going to learn. I hope I understand all or at least most of business vocabulary. I think starting my own business next spring will be easier after thins week. I hope to learn a lot of useful information.
So far everything is looking good and homesickness haven't get the best of me... yet...
