Today I finally received the grade for my final exam at the University of Iceland. It was the course “Business Law A” and I got 8 out of 10, which is quite acceptable for the effort I put in. Now I just have to finish my paper and I am done! The graduation will be in June and we will definately celebrate nicely.
The final paper has been a thorn in the side of many would-be-graduates over the years, including mine. When I was about to finish my degree many years ago I only had the paper and a few courses to complete before graduating. My ambitions were high regarding the paper, I was going to write about the theoretical “conversion of the Icelandic fishing fleet from oil to hydrogen energy”. No small task there. I was told this was more suitable for a master- or doctors thesis but I didn’t listen. Of course I never completed the paper and delayed my graduation for quite a few years.
Now I’ve decided to write a business plan about an idea I have for a business. This is within the scope of my studies at the uni and good practice to do something that I have been meening to do for a long time, namely to write up a plan for one of my business ideas. Yesterday I approached a professor to supervise my paper. His name is Örn and is a specialist in enteprenurial studies. We met up and went through my proposal for the paper which he accepted. He decided that his role besides general guidance will be to act as the potential investor in my company. He will therefore criticise my plans till they become sound enough to sell. I quite look forward to this as I have usually not had someone review my business ideas in this way. Now I just have to get going on the writing side on things
