There are several projects being worked on at this time, personal and emotional, is the decluttering of the house and selling off some of the tools / equipment used over the years – that I am no longer able to use, due to my age and lack of ability.
Although I may not be able to work physically hard, my mind is working in overdrive, as the education project with a colleague has gone into a new sector, which we hope will engage; encourage and educate all participants.
Also on the go at present is a new Rotary inspired product, one which will raise the profile of Rotary across the world – if Rotarians get behind the product and purchase / sell – to contribute to their own local fundraising activities.
The Engineering / Education projects are still moving forward slowly; as are the other Rotary inspired projects – these though need additional funding, well in excess of that which I have available.
If you wish to chat about investing in any of the projects, please feel free to get in touch, or arrange a suitable time and place for a face to face meeting.
During last year – the server hosting AARANDEE Ltd was held to ransom by hackers – since then I have moved to another ISP and as a result have to rebuild the site from scratch – which is very good – as it allows for new ideas and developments to be implemented.
I shall therefore be promoting all the activities through ‘Positiveattitude.me’ for the foreseable future. (until new site is up and running). As it is we are working on the development of a number of projects and these will be shared here.
The projects are in various sectors – Rotary (5 different projects – all with fundraising opportunities at the core) they range from consumer projects; through board / card games; into computer games and mobile apps’.
Education & Engineering – (numerous projects linking education & engineering, as well as – merchandising; etc. Also under the education element with be several projects / products related to autism.
Engineering – several projects which may range from ‘social enterprises’ to ‘power generation’ using offshore… these may also provide new business / work opportunities and sector growth.
I hope there is enough here to whet your appetite and if you wish to be involved as a collaborating partner, let me know.
Tragically, so far this year (i.e. 24 hours) there has been almost 3,000 suicides around the world, from data that I have access to.
Surely, these folk should have had the opportunity to talk with someone, perhaps some business or local authority could provide suitable work – to enable a sense of purpose.
Surely society has the capacity to listen and support others who are close to being another statistic in the next 24 hours.
Come on folks – can we do something to help prevent another soul from ending their own life?
Planning to update regularly again, linking to new ‘video’ blog being done in Google+ and fb
The video blog aims to help folk release their inner Einstein… take the crazy ideas they have, explore the options and perhaps help them become entrepreneurial with the idea and even launch a business if possible.
Hi Folks, have been having a tremendous time working on some of the projects – myrentals; 10-two; 4hexample; and the multitude of education topics.
While working towards bringing these to market, I have had to do a great deal of data mining, which has been such fun and has allowed me to have a great respect for other creatives out there.
The Nobel Prize, recently announced during this month – shows the breadth of research and the lifetime of work done by a broad range of individuals and institutions.
Also, recently announced, for the X-box game ‘overwatch’ – has been new ‘loot’ boxes, being released just in time for halloween. There is also – Gears of War 4 releases.
Sony Cyber-Shot DSC RX100 – new camera has also been released – and yahoo / verizon communications buy-out seems to be going through.
I shall attempt to bring the top 5 trend searches each day for your consideration.
Hi folks
thought it would be worth sharing that we are doing a course on Chinese Mandarin, learning the basics so that we can at least greet visitors from China to Scotland.
We may not be the best speakers of the language as of yet, but the fact that we are making a positive attempt to learn, will no doubt stand us in good stead.
Today was our third lesson and we hope to be able to move forward into basic ‘coffee conversation’ in the near future, speaking about arranging meetings; the time; the weather; how many cups of coffee or glasses of drinks; etc..
The language structure is fascinating, the character build up and the tones used in sentences are also quite intricate, even a simple change in tonal speaking – could convey the wrong message. We were learning to move our hands in the direction of the tones and it soon looked as if we were doing some form of ‘Ti-Chi’, which was seen as very funny by our tutor.
Keep a watch on this blog for further ventures – [ni hao]
‘But now, the end is near – we start to face the final curtain’…not a direct quote but close enough.
Only a couple of weeks left in the espark incubator, it has been great – the support, encouragement and most of all – the enthusiasm from the young entrepreneurs who are all in the Glasgow office….many thanks for all your input.
We are currently looking for other premises to call ‘home’ for myrentals – striving to keep within the city centre and its environs.
If you are able to host raw, young, talent (as well as a ‘silver surfer’ olderpreneur) then take time to respond to this post. We are all about collaboration, we want to promote our VIP business partners – those people; places and businesses, who perfectly define each location.
The front facing website is 95% complete – only to finalise our secure payment facility. While working on a ‘FREE’ guide – we have managed to identify a series of opportunities to provide further unique and additional support to customers who book on-line with us and accommodation providers who list with us. We are looking to see if we can extend some of these, to include our VIP business partners too.
The weekly post will continue, as well as posting them in a blog, with associated ‘twitter’ feeds…striving to build the ‘brand’ profile, through various social media channels.
I have been very busy the past week or so and had a great time with friends and colleagues. Today was almost a rest day and as I thought about it, I realised that I hadn’t thanked everyone for there support and encouragement. Therefore I decided this was my first ‘appreciation day’ and I shall attempt to have at least one each month in future.
It is not often that we take time to thank those around us who enhance our life and extend our skills, as well as providing us with opportunities to achieve more.
www.aarandee.com would not exist if my friends had not told me to gather all my ideas and thoughts and strive to share them in a business environment, whereby either I or some other entrepreneur could take the idea forward and earn a suitable living from providing the product or service.
I have altered some of the information in other areas of the site, to show that I have developed a more structured outlook to what I wish to achieve. If you find some of the blog posts enthuse you to consider being involved, drop me a line and we can communicate.
After yesterdays ‘appreciation day’, I started to think about those that I need to work with in the future to take projects forward. Therefore the title above in the www.aarandee.com blog post is part of my strategy to do just that.
Enthuse, I have to get folk talking about the projects and wanting to hear more about each one. What exactly the product or service is and what it will do.
Engage, by providing this greater insight, that will lead to them wanting to know more, then they will become engaged in the process of development.
Educate, as people participate they will learn more about each product or service, they will also have some ownership as the contribute to the development, the action of participating is a major step for all concerned.
Empower, the more they know, the more they will understand and as a result will be in a stronger position to share and teach others about the products and services.
I will then be in a position to appreciate them too, for all the work done, by being enthused; engaged; educated and empowered.

GoGetFunding Project.. I like ideas that provide opportunities which give to others, this one recent idea though has a greater twist and it started a couple of days ago when a friend gave me a link to ‘KIVA’ – the site which links prospective funders with micro businesses in areas around the world, facilitating micro […]
