The year 2012 has started and guys we are on the roll. Nea
and I spent Christmas and New Years in South East Asia promoting GlobeOut all
the way. During our month of traveling we realised how important GlobeOut will
be for all sorts of travellers around the world. Even we ourselves found that
our application would have been very useful in all the places we visited in
different situations. Now we have found more and more potential users for the
future social travel game. This is fantastic news, to be said. Unfortunately,
two members of GTP Group decided to work on some other projects and are no
longer serving us. They did a great job and we wish them all the best for the
future. Thank you girl.
We started our new semester off by reading different kinds
of news concerning GlobeOut and its future. One of the main points we came
across with was the fact that everything will be getting more game-like during
2012 so we are on the right path. In this industry it is important to be a head
of time and updated with the latest news and happenings and this is what we are
aiming to do daily as much as possible.
Our university offered us a chance for a two day course
called Boot Camp. It was held near Padasjoki, Finland in a nice surrounding in
the woods. There were also students from other campuses with their own business
ideas. The two days last week were really interesting as we made new contacts
and learned more about pitch-talks. We also got new ideas on how to develop our
idea and make it more understandable for others. These are important things for
us which need to be worked on constantly.
This week we started off by meeting our teachers and making
three different kinds of sheets to help us schedule our weeks and the whole
future in general. Now our aim is to get a demo-version done by May so at this
point we are looking for a coder. We set ourselves two weeks to find a possible
coder to work with us. We contacted a few different universities which could be
interested such as HAAGA-HELIA Pasila University of Applied Sciences,
Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Kajaani University of Applied
Sciences and Tampere University of Applied Sciences. Next week we have a
meeting with one of the teachers from Pasila Campus. This is really important
for us and GlobeOut and we are really excited.
My dad owns his own company and I attended to their annual
general meeting this week to learn more about running a company. It was really
interesting and I learned a lot. I have never really thought how important the
accountants’ job is in general. One of the things I learned was that the past
needs to be clear for everybody involved for the future to be good.
All the companies, which’ turnover in a year is 10 million
euros or under, are considered as small businesses. Now there is a new law set
for these companies saying that they won’t need an accountant. This will
complicate the calculations in all these businesses including our own. However,
it is not said that a business is not allowed to have one so I really hope
people will understand the risk here and think about the consequences. All the
companies will need someone professional to take care of it moneywise. This future
law will not only effect on small businesses making stupid mistakes but also on
the profession itself as it seems that eventually it will die away. I don’t
think we will be dumb enough to make this mistake as the money spent on an
accountant is worth it.
This week was very good and even though there are only three
of us left, I feel like we got quite a bit done concerning the future. We are
working our way to the top. We’ll send you a postcard once we get there!
Have a super fantastic next week!
