Yrittäjämäinen asenne

Voin oppia jotain jokaisena työpäivänä

Jos onnistun, voin oppia siitäkin

Jos epäonnistun, voin oppia siitäkin

Jos joku muu epäonnistuu, voin oppia siitäkin

Jos joku muu onnistuu, voin iloita ja oppia siitäkin

Avun pyytäminen

Pyydä apua

Kuuntele ja tee

muistiinpanoja

Opi kuulemastasi

Työhön suhtautuminen

Tehdä oma työ niin hyvin, että asiakkaat kiittävät

Olla niin luotettava, ettei maailmasta löydy toista yhtä tunnollista

Yrittäjyys on sunomajuttu

Why people are scared of starting

What is so scary in starting up a new company? If it does not work, you can always stop being

an entrepreneur and go back to work 8-16. (Sometimes you can even agree this in advance.)

Risk management: What can you really lose? Do you need to take

debt? How big is your risk? Can you handle it? If your biggest costs are your salary + rental,

then your loosing risk is NO salary for 1-6 months + rental costs = max 10k€

”The big unknown heaven is more scary than known hell” – Kaija Koo.

My Career definition

Sometimes I enjoy successSometimes I fail

Way to build career

Lake Shasta, California, June 2008, Mike Vondran, Wakeboarding. By over_kind_man

When you spend 8 hours doing something, you should be able enjoy it

Most important in worklife is to enjoy work and your achievements at work itself

you need to have good feeling to go to work

every day if you don’t like your job or don’t feel good at job:

QUIT, get another challenges
