Today is a big day for our
network startup IRL - offline stuff for online people.
It's a network we made so Laura and I could act out our social entrepreneurship within a framework - and open up the danish web scene for more people.
But TODAY we are having our first workshop - starring the one and only
Pedro Custodio who was in Copenhagen anyway for the
reboot conference.
The workshop is about Community building and it is a more advanced form of workshop...
I have huge secret ambitions with IRL and I think it has a lot of potential to actually create a network of professional web enthusiasts.... It has been a good start even though we possibly hitted it off to ambitiously. So the workshop today is free =) and we're about 15 people who will be playing with communities togethere with Pedro..., there's still room for 2 -3 persons more if you're interested...
I think it's gonna rock=)

yesterday I received a mail from a friend of mine who thought I should sign up for
DI's Women On Board programme. I am a boardmember of
Morgendagens Heltinder and an advisor of
Netflirt.dk (and also a boardmember at my daughters kindergarden) but I would love to work with more projects in that direction.
So I got the application form for DI and started to fill it out. And became depressed. And more depressed. Because this application form wasn't embracing an entrepreneur like me, OR the network based business I am running.
I don't ever think that Toothless Tiger will have employees as a "real proper company" - I don't believe I will measure things in "growth rates or revenue". I believe in working with great people and companies but as small freelance entities... as I consider myself. A Toothless Tiger who is working on getting her own office somewhere and working on changing the world.
So I would claim that there's a lot of network based business going on.. But is it gonna make have another boardmember position if I haven't really achieved anything as a "real company". I only achieve things - and tend to keep on achieving things, as a freelancer and as a tiny company
