General Update

So as I said with the Team Manchester Update post I have been super busy of late. Working on the Team Manchester project, enjoying the weather (mostly just by being outside when I've been busying about), studying for my exams in May, and reading The Black Swan. I'm also working on what to do next year, masters applications and job applications. I would say I'm not ready to stop learning so a masters is, academically, the next logical step but the right offer for a challenging and rewarding job can in many ways offer a masters course real competition.

Now then; The Black Swan really is one of the best books I have read but it is taking me a while to get through because of how busy I have been and Taleb's writing style, or more accurately styles, make it a slow process for me who can usually cram through a book. It's a really interesting dynamic on thinking and I would encourage everyone to read it. 

That will be all. I'm pretty busy.

Team Manchester Update

So I have been REALLY busy the past few days organising things and getting everything together. Making phone calls, designing marketing materials, making phone calls, delegating things out to the team, making phone calls and sending LOTs of emails. Did I mention, by the way, I have been making a ton of phone calls?

So here is the poster for the concert. Doesn't look too bad, if I say so myself. But then; I did design it.

Team MCR Update

I finished writing up the business plan and making the provisional revenue forecasting spreadsheet today. It is looking good for Team Manchester. I'd upload them now but since it's a competition I don't want to fall victim to corporate charity espionage. However unlikely that might be. 

On the 19th April I'll upload the portfolio of materials.

I'm the Team Captain (read as Team Leader) for Team Manchester, fundraising in support of The Prince's Trust as part of the Royal Bank of Scotland - Global Banking & Market's Indian Summer/One-Day Entrepreneurial Challenge 2012.

When If we win the competition through raising more money than the other teams and putting on a top-notch presentation, Team Manchester will spend 3 weeks in India working on RBS GBM community projects out there.
