It's time to sum up the first day at IQube

First they presented the IQube way and what we could expect as an IQube company. Then they introduced the potential business coaches and there were some among them that we could really need help from.
After that it was time to listen to every ones business ideas and I'm really impressed. 27 ideas in a wide variety of fields. The youngest entrepreneurs were 18 and the oldest more than 40 years older. It was also inspiring to see the commitment and energy.

We did a short 5 min pitch of our idea and people seemed to like it. I completely forgot what I was supposed to say at one point, but I remained calm regardless of that. We have talked about the idea so many times now that I'm beginning to feel really comfortable doing it.

One more thing: Don't forget about Earth Day. Check out my old friend Wikipedia for more info.

When all is said and done

We did it!
We held the presentation today and I must say that we did a damn good job.
I had thought that I should be more nervous than what was the case, but it felt good. We knew what we were talking about!
Lina was excellent, she is very professional when it comes to these sorts of things.

I think we managed to say what we wanted to say and we were able to answer the questions we got fairly well. The time for questions was only 6 minutes, we would actually have liked to receive more questions.
And now we wait. It will be very interesting to see the outcome of all this.

Nerves

In about 1,5h Lina and I will make a very important presentation, maybe the most important so far.
So for obvious reasons we are both quite nervous now. I do actually think we will do fine. We know what we are going to talk about, we have after all worked on this business for 4,5 months now.
It's going to be interesting to see what kind of questions we will get afterwards.
Now it's time to do the final preparations.
Wish us luck!

I like deadlines

Today at 1pm is the deadline for the presentation we will make tomorrow and we are of course not completely finished yet. It is after all 3h30 left until the deadline. But now it's just cosmetics left.

Today we are having some of Lina's class mates over for a trial run at the final presentation. We will give them lasagna and they will give us feedback on our presentation. That sounds like a great deal to me =)

For some strange reason I really like the feeling of a deadline approaching, at least if I feel that I have a reasonably good chance of making it. I like the adrenalin it gives me.
