Saxion international Start-Up Challenge

I would like to firstly demonstrate gratitude to Saxion centre for Entrepreneurship for arranging this almost life changing event.

Now to my experience in this workshop which denied me\us the weekend, but it was totally worth it!

I was so excited when I signed up for it a month earlier.. Getting the butterflies every time I think about it, feeling all motivated and inspired to take a part in it.
Finally the day came where we had to go to the workshop, had to travel from Deventer to Enschede but then take a bus to the place.. Which thanks to me, Kaspars and I took the wrong bus [ I have a good history with the buses and locations! Never ask me about those unless you want to end up somewhere totally random!].

Met a lot of people, which was fun. Learning what their visions are.

The funny part was.. That we all went on Friday [12th of December 2014] with an idea.. and by Sunday [14th of December 2014] almost everyone had so many modifications in their ideas!

We worked on several canvases..  Instead of filling a whole report about the business idea with all the tiny details that I'm somehow sure no one bothers to read -at least that's what I think!-
Played some games.. Had various inputs from others, and I think that was fun and helpful.

Hectic three days.. I'm telling you at some point I told myself that's it I'm so tired -I'M GOING HOME- ...
However, now that it's over I'm missing those 3 busy days.. Not that I'm willing to compromise another weekend -haha!- but it was FUN.

Meeting some entrepreneurs was the big deal part.. Some didn't show interest while 2 of whom I spoke to encouraged me a lot which motivated me further into working hard on the idea and thinking about starting right away, which is my next step hopefully!
