Calendar crazy

• I love calendars. Outlook, Thunderbird+lightning+Google calendar...you name it.
• But sometimes physical world really has its touch appeal.
• http://www.bubblecalendar.com/index.htm
• Make it in local languages, different colors and sell it
• (If faced with low funds...just import)

• Mix it and charge to get on the lsit.

Chockin Air alert

• Everyone has a cell phone (yes there are exeptions),
• Everyone likes to breathe as little polluted air as possible (yes there are exeptions),
• The air pollution data is quite ok (yes there are exeptions),

1. Get permission to use public pollution data (including flower dust...)
2. Collaborate with cell phone network porivedrs (usesr pay for information model)
3. Buy/lease the appropriate technology.

• Alternatively sell your idea to an established mobile content provider.
• Don't forget to exploit the localization capabilities of cell phones.

Pravne novice (legal news)

All good lawyers need to keep up with whats new and hot.

1. Figure out how Mashable and alike work &copy&adjust the model
2. Get some members
3. Advertise in some magazines
4. Add ads and pray your market is big enough

Internet franchize

• Find the best of the best webpages for the most popular & lucrative internet businesses that aren't taken yet:
• Real estate
• Finance
• Travel
• Retailer (takse guts!)
• Contact the original firm and sign a franchize contract, %would probably work best.
• Translate and adapt.

Free, big beach boards

• A nice marketing opportunity.
• Get some advertisers (I reckon Nivea would be interested)
• Buy some oversized bodyboards that can carry two people and add padels.
• Paint the boards in inovative way...with ads.
• Lend them for free on popular beaches as promotional actions.

Importing OLED lights

Lessons from Vienna

I loved the weekend trip, without any bullshit...here is what I learned: 1. Bigger cities have this metropolitan feel to it - just addictive. 2. Citybike is a great marketing opportunity for banks. 3. Austrian culture overdone the internalization of norms. Newspaper stands rely solely on fairness, tram tickets are rarely checked...Too much. 4. Erasmus students party a lot. I don't know about sex, but they mostly seemed satisfied. 5. I can't believe that Austrians can still smoke in public places. Smelly. 6. Mixing of different cultures is fun. 7. Short trips are great.

Go to the beach! Enjoy the nature!

• More pictures here.
• Personally I like the idea of the baloon floated ads. Could work in many places.

Rogaska crystal maybe?

• An idea they definitely should borrow.

Drive in bank

Drive-in banks were established so most of the cars today could see their real owners. - E. Joseph Cossman

Ceramic dragons and fishes

• It is next to impossible to get decent ceramic figures in our beloved land.
• We have many quite decent manufacturers (like eti svit...), but the products don't really fulfill the modern demand.
• A quality middleman is needed.

1. Create a business model. Focus on direct online ordering and selling products to tourists (high margins).
2. Find some manufactures and sell them your idea. Begin with a very crude information system. E-mail is the highest possible complication level for them.
3. Try to encourage souvenir sales by offering buyback offers to the souvenir salesman.
4. Organize the whole process.

On-line public opinion enhancing group

• Most of the new consumers like to check web forums and reviews, before they buy. It doesn't matter if it is about a guitar, heating pillows, car, condoms or elections...we like to see what other people think about it and how they like it.
• Some think that organized sites like twitter will be enough. I am not so sure.
• Some products, services and politicians...would certainly need some positive "user" opinions online.

1. Create a professional PR assault plan. Use modern project planning software and methodologies.
2. Get a bunch of creative and articulate people. Make sure they aren't stupid. Prepare some guidelines for them and ensure they get paid for their successful work. If they fail they should get free beer. Use google analytics/webpage visits as a measure of success.
3. Experiment if it works - for free or very cheaply.
4. Sell your services quietly.
5. Make sure you don't cross the line into the illegal.

www.zgradi.si

• A portal for all who want to build stuff.
• Basically a collection legal advice on how to build and a list of all needed professions.
• Later a "priceline" and user rating concept can be added as well.

Bannana boat rides down Gradaščica and Ljubljanica

• This one depends on believing in the current mayor.
• If he manages to get all the sewage onto the "big system", this one might work.

1. Get an old robber boat, a long one.
2. Go to the zoo, inflate the boat and take a ride in Gradaščica, ride past Tromostovje, then get out.
3. If you like it and it doesn't stink too much, buy/rent some old inflatable bananas. (The ones beach resorts use to pull tourists around on water) Try to work out the steering on Ljubljanica or think of shorter routes. After that, sell the service.
4. Get a big van to pick up the equipment and drive it to the starting point.
5. Think of alternative inflatable/rubber devices. Organize night trips.
6. Get some artists to post pictures/art to the walls so people can enjoy them as they ride by them.
7. Alternatively, open a summer bar in the new park built by the Gradaščica.

Get paid to listen

• In the postindustrial society it is mostly about selling services. Many times these include public speaking or giving a presentation.
• Though many speakers prepare themselves diligently, they still make small mistakes, that make their service average.
• By focusing on real life practice, real improvements can be achieved. The difference between observing and evaluating a speaker / presenter at work or giving him rethorics classes is the difference between teaching driving in a car on the road and trying to teach him how to drive in a classroom.

1. Learn more about evaluating speakers.
2. Create a methodology and do some free test runs.
3. Start offering your services. At first target the employers of these public speakers - for example a university or a consulting firm. Furthermore, try and focus on the proactive individuals - mostly start up firms / individuals.
4. Too keep expenses low, teach students how to evaluate, using the existing methodology. Make sure you hire capable people. Always make sure the quality of evaluations and advices is adequate. Send people in pairs, install quality control mechanisms.
5. Grow form there - sell improvement classes by adding some theory to practices, not the other way around.

Bar and restaurant themes

• Normal, cool, fancy, fancier...In other words boring.
• Some people should have some balls and do one of these:

1. Chess bars I saw in NY (on TV), in Peru (not on TV9 and on Santorini (not on TV).
2. Relaxed combination of a mountain gear shop, a coffee bar and a small climbing wall (saw it in Peru).
3. Cook it yourself restaurant, where a man/woman can cook for their guests. Under supervision of pro. chefs. Furthermore, no grocery shopping or dish washing required. (found it online)
4. Oxygen bars. (Old idea I saw online and on TV).

If it sounds great and smells great - a must buy.

• Marketing tricks I learned from TV shows (on discovery):
• When a supermarket played Spanish music on wine aisle, they sold three times more Spanish wine then French. Then they changed nothing but the music - to French and sold five times more French wine than Spanish. When interviewed, the consumers said that the music had no impact on their wine choices.
• Real estate agents use odors of fresh bread, frying bacon and fresh coffee, to sell. Pleasant smells are also getting more and more popular with clothes shops and auto dealers.

1. Find some smell and sound manipulation devices.
2. Sell it to local shops and car dealers.
3. Make sure you don't cross the line and start breaking fair competition rules.

Just a few ideas that need to go out of my head

• ...so I can start working.

1. Create small, portable, cheap models similar to this concept. Get a pseudo scientist to develop a method of achieving optimal/work concentration and sell the product as a efficient test method.
2. Rent small rowing boats on the coast. Pendollinos (or something) are gay. Try t be original and add aquaskipper and perhaps a hydrofoil sailboats. Decrease the sot by icluding ads on the rented equipment.
3. Get Istrabenz (or other investors) to build a big aqua park at our coast (doesn't have to be right at sea) and save the future business.
4. Convince BTC that skydiving wind tunnel would be economically feasible. Use trademark, image and completeness arguments.

• ...ok now I can finally go and complete the things that need to be done.
