I'm really surprised to find so much support for potential entrepreneurs, especially the information available in English. I think this is quite smart, given the number of Finnish speakers in the world is only around 7 million, whereas the potential for English speakers is boundless. Here is a good example of one of the support facilities I found useful:
My Enterprise Finland - online service for setting up/ beginning phase of company. I find it really useful.

International residents may find it hard to get full bank credentials - more identification required to have online access, forms and application services.

In this service you can:

do entrepreneur test - see how effective you would be

search your line of business and the national profitability

access lists permits, registrations, (according to line of business)

make a business plan, they break into: plan, calculation, background of entrepreneur

receive comment on the plan

register a new company here: (Business Information System of the Finnish Patents and Registration Office) and check availability of name

upload important documents, applications, records etc

run a business infrastructure analysis to determine the current position of your company.

get advice according the ‘Annual Obligation Clock’

get help for doing wage calculation and pension insurance payments

#lost drive of representative democracy
This one struck me because I see the role of effective media education being part of the emancipatory role of education, and therefore democracy. People actively using their democratic rights of speech and education can be empowered by media education. I feel this goes well with my business proposal for online mediated applications.
#strengthening local presence
the empowerment of smaller communities is completely possible with the digital world. It's no longer required for people to get the services/products they need from bigger cities. My product functions in much the same way, making it available to rural and urban customers alike.
#digital crowd platforms
New ideas are coming from anywhere, which is exciting. If working entirely from the platform of the internet, it would be possible to support these 'idearists' and also support my own business agenda of furthering online mediated applications. I can see the potential for partnership opportunities as well!

This was interesting because some of the values carry across into all fields, in some form or another: communication, integrity (staying true to self, reliability), network, some form of care, and curiosity (innovation)

Humour & Business
Why have we never asked this question before? I like to laugh, and it's apparently good for you! So why are we not encouraging this more often in the workplace! I'm astounded I've never stopped to think about this before!!!
"humour and especially a playful attitude and atmosphere seem to promote both work engagement and innovative behaviour" (37)
Humour is known to induce positive endorphins in the brain, which are conducive to positive learning experiences. This is a great point to develop within my products, especially as students will be endeavouring to learn new skills! Also, with my service aspect (consulting with teachers) I could definitely use this tip in helping them to learn better as well!

1. What is valuable to your end customer?
My company is actually a product of the digitalisation economy - my customers need the tools to keep up with digitalisation. So I myself must ensure that the company is using the latest and best digital tools available. Keeping up to date with the online world is essential to all parts of the product, service and customer satisfaction. In order to continue to grow, I have to show that the material of the product and service is current. This is the value of my product.
2. How can you deliver value to your customers in the most efficient way possible?
Ensuring that my website is frequently maintained and updated with new tools is a demonstrative way for customers to see how reliable our services/products are. As my company is almost entirely web-based, having a homepage that I, my staff, and my clients can rely on is paramount.
3. How can you develop your key partnerships?
If I were to build the company, then I would definitely need partnerships of student emancipation organisations, most likely NGOs. This could be effectively achieved by setting up new programs in cooperation with groups. This would also ensure the need for my company's products as they would be in use by other organisations, and their clients.
4. How can you make the value creation process more efficient?
Working with clients to create and design online mediated writing tools would be the most effective way, however this would require time, money and resources, so would only be feasible if it were a large project. Doing more broad analysis of the general client needs would be most efficient because then marketing can also be incorporated to find other potential clients.
5. How do we retain our ability to react quickly to changes?
Maintaining up to date materials, tools and applications is key to the success of this company. This also pertains to me and potential employees. We must constantly better our skills and learn about new media to stay ahead of the curve. Chances are if we've heard about it, then our clients' students are already using it! We have to stay with the trend.

This was quite useful to me. I had to assess my own strengths, abilities and skills in a very pragmatic way - as the objective observer, rather than subjectively. I hadn't considered, for example, that I have already some good skills like leadership, self-determination, and creativity. Here are my results:

my brother's company. Australian media presentation organisation aiming to encourage high school students to do something meaningful with life choices. This is the kind of organisation that I could cooperate with to make learning programs, and petition for government funding. (My brother has begged me on many occasions to help head his company, but I always decline as I feel this is 'his baby' and 'kinda' want to have my own....)

Every day, young Australians are subjected to thousands of messages seeking to influence the way they think and act. Pressures from all aspects of daily life including peers, advertising, television, radio and internet are shaping their young minds. The results are sometimes frightening, and often lead to young people engaging in behaviours that cause harm to themselves and others.

Motivational Media aims to both challenge and inspire young people to develop strategies that will enable them to reach their true potential so that their life choices will not be diminished through avoidable, reckless and harmful behaviours.

Motivational Media's programs are high impact presentations delivered in schools and other organisations. We make use of three large, panoramic screens, along with state of the art synchronised projectors, producing an image 13 metres wide. This is combined with amplified sound, current popular music and inspirational stories creating an experience that grips students' attention like no other program.

The package includes detailed follow-up material, including student worksheets, that assist educators to reinforce and practically apply the harm avoidance and minimisation strategies highlighted in the on screen presentation.

Through developing student awareness of the importance of self esteem, wise decision making, goal setting and friendship choices, the 40 minute presentations focus on young people preventing or controlling situations that may result in harmful behaviours.

Follow-up resource materials provide a mechanism for stimulating open discussion with students, as issues from the main presentation are related and skills are developed through interaction with one another.

Since its establishment in 1990, Motivational Media has grown into one of Australia's largest travelling educational organisations, reaching an average of over 300 schools across Australia per year.

Our dynamic, cinematic programs have impacted hundreds of thousands of lives, challenging students to recognise harmful activities and thought patterns, equipping them with strategies and positive role model examples to encourage healthier decision-making.

Each year, our programs cover such social and personal issues as:

Depression

Substance Abuse

Bullying

Lack of motivational or direction

Our aim is to INSPIRE AUSTRALIA'S YOUTH TOWARD A WORLD OF CHANGE and promote the following ideas of:

Self-leadership

Self-belief

Encourage, support and celebrate others

Perseverance through trials and hardships

Reach out for help when you need it

Dreams and futures can be achieved through the right support, goals setting and work

Talk to Motivational Media today about introducing this unique program into your school.
This program may not only change the way your students think, it might also change their lives!

After considering Reddin's video and creating my own product, I came upon this dilemma again: intellectual property. The shared economy is a tricky idea for many in the creative industry because you don't want your product to be exploited without any financial gain to you, the creator. However, I think there is a lot to be gained by Johanna Blakley's idea of 'the free culture' especially in light of The Creative Economy Report of 2010 which states, "another approach is to consider creativity as a measurable social process" (3).

I have been inspired by a local entrepreneur, Theo, who has created his own business in tourism. The link below takes you to his page. What interested me most was his angle to personalise the tour experience, something that most tourism can't accommodate for in Rovaniemi (in my experience). This personalisation was also reiterated in Gary Reddin's video, only that instead of a product, there were customer experiences.
He also insisted on the importance of knowing people - you never know when you need that one person.
