Malja rohkeudelle

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:56:30 GMT

Nyt on kulunut reilu vuosi yrityksen perustamisesta, ja joka päivä opin uutta yrittäjyydestä.Arvostus muita yrittäjiä kohtaan on noussut suuresti tänä aikana. Monella yrittäjällä on ollut rankkaa koronan seurauksena. Yrittäjyys on jatkuvaa työtä ilman lomia ja vapaa-aikaa. Pitää olla valmis vastaamaan sähköposteihin 24/7, tai muuten voi menettää projektin (kokemuksen syvällä rintaäänellä).Olin kyllä varautunut yrittäjyyden rankkuuteen, mutta varsinkin koronan tuoma erityistilanne korosti, kuinka paljon kovaa työtä yrittäminen vaatii.Vielä vuosi sitten visioni ei ollut keskittyä yksinomaan kielipalveluihin, mutta uusien asiakkaiden, tekemieni virheiden ja maailman tilanteen seuraksena yritystoimintani on kehittynyt vahvasti kielipalveluiden suuntaan.Yrittäjyys on ollut oppikoulu, ja nyt pikkuhiljaa alan saada siitä otteen. Olen erittäin kiitollinen kaikille asiakkailleni, jotka ovat uskaltaneet antaa minulle, uudelle yrittäjälle, mahdollisuuden näyttää kynteni.Toivon sitä samaa rohke...

Kohdeasiakaskunta riippuu tietenkin tuotteesta tai palvelusta, mitä yritys myy.

Finland Economy: Where is it going over the next two years?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:56:30 GMT

Both Finland’s Central Bank and Finance Ministry have recently released updated forecasts for the next two years. The news isn’t great. In case you don’t understand subtlety, the Central Bank’s headlined their press release: Finland’s economic boom is over. A quote: Finland’s economic boom is over and growth is temporarily losing momentum amid weaker global economic activity.Will Finland’s economy crash?

Independence Day in Finland 2019, Will a Prime Minster Attend the Presidential Party?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:56:30 GMT

Finland’s Independence Day (itsenäisyyspäivä) is on Friday – December 6. It’ll be one of my first Finnish Independence Days in Finland for over a decade. In recent years, I’ve celebrated at Finnish consulates and embassies in places like Istanbul and Abu Dhabi. Now back from living abroad, I admit Independence Day feels especially good. Finland has come far in its 102 years as an independent country.When did Finland become Independent?Finland became independent on December 6, 1917 in what could only be described as an anticlimactic political saga full of bureaucratic hurdles. It was a result of good timing and strategic planning by the political elite in Finland, such as Prime Minister Pehr Evind Svinhufvud and Finnish Minister–Secretary of State Carl Enckell. They saw an opportunity when the Bolsheviks overthrew the Russian government in November 1917. Finland had been part of Russia since 1809. Previously, it had been part of Sweden.  The Finnish senate decided to use t...

Finland’s Prime Minister Resigns…Rinne Home for Christmas

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:56:30 GMT

UPDATE 3 December 2200 HELSINKI: As expected, Antti Rinne has resigned as Finland’s Prime Minister. He’ll stay on to lead a caretaker government until a new PM is agreed, or in the unlikely event a snap election is called. See below for who we’re betting will be Finland’s next Prime Minister. The Finnish Government is in deep trouble. It is very likely that Prime Minister Antti Rinne will be ‘home for Christmas,’ or perhaps we should say ‘by Christmas’. Rinne is currently under heavy scrutiny due to allegedly making false statements regarding the recent postal strike. In the early evening on December 2, the Centre Party (Finnish: Keskusta) expressed a lack of confidence and distrust in Rinne, who is a member of the Social Social Democratic Party (Finnish: Suomen sosialidemokraattinen puolue). The Centre and SDP are the main parties in the current coalition government. Other parties have previously expressed concerns over the PM...

Personal finance tips and tricks for Finnish university students

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:56:30 GMT

Overall Finland is a good country for students. We get a free education (even university is free) in one of the best school systems of the world and some really nice social benefits as a student, such as financial aid, housing allowance and a student loan that we don’t even have to pay fully. However, at the same time Finland is one of the most expensive countries in the world which means that as a student with limited income, you have to play your (financial) cards wisely. How to obtain financial advantage while studying at university? Usually, when people think about studying at university, they think about all that freedom enjoyed by young people, but also how expensive it is. In Finland, studying in university or in polytechnic (university of applied sciences) is generally free, but still, most people end up taking student loans and/or rely on their parents for financial aid. Social benefits for students are simply not enough for most students in Finland. How...
