Exciting!

Good morning!

Hope you're fine!:) busy days now, but that's a positive thing! Nina contacted me yesterday about a thing that will be a bit scary but most of all very fun! This morning I got an e-mail with more info. Exciting! 

On my way to work now. Me and Johan(CEO) will have a meeting with a guy from a PR platform. Tomorrow I go to Skövde on an event. Have to get up at 4.30 so I think I will go to bed quite early tonight.....at least I should. 

Run.

Many trips to Malmö for me now, but it's fun to work! It feels very exciting to be included in the launch of Billmate! 

Today, Tim and I have fixed a lot for the event, and also prepared some other things that will happen after, when we are more "official". 

Got home at 6. Went for a short run in my new work out clothes. 

LUND

Today, I went to Lund and spent the afternoon with Petter. We started working with a Facebook strategy for his and Stefan's company Sparfabriken, and also discussed some other important issues regarding the business, marketing and communication. It is very important to have a plan, a strategy, when having a Facebook page, You can't just create a page - you must communicate, interact, be creative :)

 I just wonder, how much value do media put on referencing nowadays? Do they think it is OK to steal info from others and present it as their own fact?

Tomorrow I had planned to attend a sales course that Promoters AB organises, but they called tonight and told me it has been cancelled. So I guess I will stay home, working with the article and other research instead.

Long day.

This has been a very long, but also a very good, day. Woke up at 7.30, went o Malmö without any problems. Went to the bank. Talked to a very helpful customer service worker. She helped me order a new VISA, the only problem is that they have to send it to Hudiksvall. Hopefully my mom can pick it up for me?

Went to Folk Å Rock for coffee and lunch. Suddenly, I see my friend Marcus (who I got to know in Umeå) walk by outside. Fun with unexpected meetings! He works for Egmont now in Stockholm, so he had a client meeting in Malmö today. It's good to have your eyes open, you never know who you will see and meet, wherever you are!

The meeting with Tim (sales manager at eFinance) also went well. We started planning for a marketing and launch strategy. Exciting! Billmate seems to be a great service. A brand who is trusted and has many customers already, even though the service is not officially launched yet!

After the meeting at eFinance, I went to Starbucks for the release party of Cathrin Frisemo's book about the digital work life. It was a nice event! Interesting subject. You can find my article and interview with Cathrin here.

Marketing consultant.

Woke up early today to take the train to Malmö. Started with "Måndagsboost" at Mindfloor, where Cecilia told us about mindfulness and also had some exercises with us. The purpose was to make us feel less stress, to calm down, make us feel aware of our mind. body, soul etc. I don't know if it worked for me, but it was different and fun to try :)

After the boost, I went to Lund to meet Stefan and Petter, who I am a marketing and communications consultant for now. I like to work with people who really believe in what they are doing, and who are real entrepreneurs. Fun and a great learning experience! I will continue consulting for them for a while. Thanks for the lunch also!!! :)

Had some problems with going back to Copenhagen, since I discovered I have lost my VISA. Think it was yesterday, when I bought my ticket in the machines at Copenhagen C. Thanks to Jonas Bigelius who could save me (borrow me some cash for my ticket back home)!!! Today's hero :)

And tomorrow, I will start working for eFinance Nordic. Get more information about the business, make a marketing and communications plan. I start to feel like a real marketer now ;)

Kalundborg.

Writing an article based on the course in how to succeed with your Facebook Page, that Nina Jansdotter held at Ideon. Hopefully I will finish this one faster than the other one I wrote yesterday. I am kind of a control freak. I want it to be perfect, but it doesn't always have to be.

These days will consist of much packing and cleaning (again). For a whole month we haven't done much but moving around, cleaning, packing. This weekend we finally will move into our apartment. Finally! :)

Moving.

This weekend will consist of cleaning and packing. Moving out from this corridor room! I finished the article yesterday :) Feels good! Before Carl arrives today I plan to apply for a job. And then some guy will come over to change the lock (?) for this room. Should maybe do something about the total mess before he arrives.

Carrie and I.

Today, I'm gonna do lots of writing. Finish at least one article and start writing on another one. The first one is based on the interview I did with Helene Colak, founder of Mindfloor, and the other ones about personal branding and Facebook pages.

On friday, Carl comes to Lund and we will move out from this corridor room this weekend. Then, we will spend a week in Kalundborg until we move into our apartment in Copenhagen sept 9. August has been the longest month! So many things have happened. Moving around all the time, busy weekends, work etc. But I needed a change, so it's OK :)
