A guide to a beginner in entrepreneurship

Yay! I just got this guide book about how to start your own business. 

"The ABC to start your own business"

The book has lots of important info about entrepreneurship and founding your own company, making your own business plan, pricing your products, risks, marketing, finance, insurances, taxes, accounting..... Everything you need to know about entrepreneurship! So, I'd better start reading it! :D Even though it will take about 1-2 years until I can start my own business.

I was checking my study credits the other day and I realised something that made me very glad: It may be that I will graduate in time after all!!! O_O At first, I thought I will graduate in spring 2015 because I was a bit left behind in my studies at one point. But seems like I have worked pretty hard this semester because if everything goes as planned, I will have A LOT of credits after summer! So maybe I can graduate at the same time as my friends, in spring 2014. Or at least on Christmas 2014! 

My plan is to start my own business as soon as I have graduated. I'm going to found a clothing shop of alternative fashion. At first I was sure I want to have this big clothing shop and an Internet store. But then I made these profitability calculations and the numbers were fucking SCARY. I would need a loan of 100 000 €, and if the shop doesn't pay off, I would be in a bankrupt veeery fast (which could be very possible for an alternative clothing shop). Not good. So, I talked about things with my boyfriend and a couple of his friends who are or have been entrepreneurs, and they all suggested that I would start with an Internet store only. I started thinking about this, and made the calculations again with this plan, and the numbers were a lot better. Instead of this 100 000 € monster loan I would "only" need a loan of 15-20 000 €. If the shop starts to pay off very well, I can always found the actual store later.

I was a bit sad though, because I really enjoy selling clothes to people face to face. With an internet store I can't do that. But oh well, I can always go to fairs and all kinds of happenings to sell my products ^^ Gahh, I wish I could graduate already... At the same time, I'm very scared and excited :D

hurrdurrrr

Too. Much. Work.

Ok, now I'm stressed... I just made a list of all the school assignments that need to be done during the next four days. 9 not-so-little assignments, and they should be done by Sunday..... ;____; I DON*T WANNA. I should be doing:

A Power Point slide of Entrepreneurship in China. That's not that bad but I just feel annoyed because I already wrote an essay about the subject a few days ago and forgot to do the PP-slide at the same time -____-;;

Consideration about cultural differences. In Finland's point of view....

An exam based on a book called "Riding the Waves of Culture. Understanding Cultural Diversity in Business."

An essay assignment for two different courses about Polarstoff material fair I went to yesterday. The fair SUCKED -___-;; It was so small and useless....

Marketing analysis and  shopping criteria of the customers of my own company I'm gonna found when I graduate.

Peer review of three of my classmates' Culture Project reports.

Writing theory about Marketing Mix for my own Culture Project report.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I'm gonna die..... I seriously don't know if I'm gonna make these in time. But I really would like to, then I wouldn't have to worry about returning assignments late. ....which I tend to do a lot sometimes >__<

Another thing that annoys me is that I used all of my eyebrow-pencil a couple of days ago and I didn't have time to buy a new one until today. So I had to draw my eyebrows with black pencil, which does NOT look good with blonde hair... But I didn't feel like looking like an alien either -___-;; So, I pretty much looked like a retarded Lady Gaga -wannabe the last two days. \o/ But luckily I got to buy a new one today.

I tried to draw them light so they wouldn't look that bad >__<

No7's Beautiful Eyebrow Pencil, color Blonde

Oh well, there was SOMETHING good in this day as well. I got some more ink to my star tattoos because they didn't heal so well. When they had "healed" they looked like they had been there for 10 years or so. Hopefully they heal well now! 

And! I got a package from my sister today! WITH A GRUMPY CAT DRINKING GLASS INSIDE. It's so cuuuuuuuuuute!! I love Grumpy Cat. So much ;;_________;; <3 The text in the glass says "The worst thing after waking up? Everything until I go to bed again." My sister told me that the picture reminded her of me so she had to buy it XDDD She's so right, lol. 

 

Ok, I think I should get to work now... baibai ;___;

Hairy museum

aaaaaaaa, I'm so glad this week is finally over x_____x (We don't have school on Fridays so my weekend starts on Thursdays, mwahaha!) Ok, this week hasn't been that stressful or hard or anything, but I'm just so excited about the coming weekend, and also about my winter holiday that starts after one week! This weekend is gonna be awesome because:

1. My sister is coming to visit me

2. My sister is gonna take me to a very nice restaurant

3. I'm gonna get a new tattoo! (as a birthday present from my sister and her fiancé)

I love my sister *_____* It's gonna be so much fun!!

This day was nice though. ...too bad I couldn't get up on time this morning so I skipped the morning classes -___-;; goddamnit. Oh well, in the afternoon I visited the Craft Museum of Finland with my classmates and teacher. It was nice, I like museums a lot!! ^^ There were exhibitions about Finnish craft making and old fashioned dresses etc, and also a bicycle exhibition o__O It was very interesting. I took a lot of pictures, I'm gonna show you some :D

Chapter 29: MENTAL.

hih, this was a nice day ^^ Work was a bit boring though because of a VERY quiet day :D The first five hours were just pathetic :DDD But after that we started to get an ok amount of buying customers.

I was wearing my new shorts today! ^^

me likey! They're so comfortable o___o 

And! I got a thick letter from my cousin! I was a bit excited 'cos I had no idea what she had sent to me :D When I opened the envelope, it had these inside it:

EYELASHES <3 I had such a good luck!! :D I only had one pair left 'cos I had broken all my eyelashes while being drunk -___-;; So now I have new ones! yay! I hope I won't break those too fast.. ARGH, I wish I would remember to take them off before I go to sleep/pass out -___-;; Ok, Last time I DID! ....but at my friend's neighbours' place, ages before going to bed. What the fuck, that made no sense at all!! XD

AND I LOVE MY SISTER!!!!! <3 Looooook what she's gonna buy me!

She ordered it today! I've been telling her (and you guys :D) How I need a new bag, and she told me that she can buy me one for my name day :D So, yesterday I was surfing in the Internet to find nice bags. A while ago I was checking out Demonia's catalogue and I noticed this Straitjacket bag there. I fell in love immediately 'cos I absolutely love straitjackets. So, while surfing, I found a shop that sells these bags!!! There were only 2 left in the stock so I told my sister to order it immediately. It's gonna be mine!!! sooooooooon! ....ish.

And talking about straitjackets, I have to show you guys my school project I made for RockJet in the beginning of this year. I got to design a jacket for them. My idea was to make a jacket that can be transformed into a straitjacket. It became so fucking cool <3

isn't it hot??? >8DDD

Chapter 19: What a cheerful day this was!

hahahaha, my cheeks hurt, I've been laughing so much today! :D Nothing special, I just was in a very good mood! ^^

We got some new items at work today! Cosmic Clothing -shirts! I told you about the order earlier, I got to choose the shirts ^^ THEY*RE SO CUTE!!! I know I will spend some money next month, hehaaa. 

JUST LOOK AT THEM!!! I have to get the Killer Tomato and the Gozilla!!! And I want a third one as well but I haven't decided yet which one. iiiihh! <3 byebye money!

While we were organising the new clothes, we were listening 90's greatest hits XD Gosh, I love the pop- and electro dance -music from the 90's XD E-Type, Back Street Boys, Aqua, Spice Girls, Toy Box, N*Sync..... aaaahahahahah. Maybe that's why I have been so cheerful 'cos the songs are so happy XD Seriously, me and my friend were wondering that no wonder that young people are depressed nowadays 'cos songs are either about suicides and heart aches or "Oh yeah baby I'm gonna fuck you in the ass" -____-;; Oh those times... Even though I was very little XD

XD <3

I was feeling like taking pictures in the morning so I decided to take a picture of my outfit of today ^^* 

I've made the corset and the skirt myself ^^ I really like making clothes! ...if I have a proper sewing machine. After I started studying clothing and fashion, I have got to sew with the industry sewing machines. Once you sew with them, you do NOT want to sew with a normal, lame home sewing machine... -___-;; I really have to buy one when I graduate.

(oh and, if someone is wondering the skirt's fabric and what's in it, it's a circus-theme fabric! It has clowns, giraffes and elephants in it! XD <3)
