Actually it wasn’t really my idea to use a mindmapping tool it just happen that my brother, after a 3 hours brainstorming session went home and collected our thoughts into this tool (and spun some ideas further). So the next day I got surprisingly an email from him with a file in the FreeMind format. So I quickly installed FreeMind to see what he has come up with. I was really astonished what he had produced the other night. I nice collection of all the important points we discussed or even just mentioned and he even added more things as well, so he had some more thoughts on it.

I am happy to live in a country where it can’t be easier to try to get your own thing going. With the UGP (Unternehmungsgründungsprogramm), a programme by the Unemployment Insurance of Austria, you get support for up to 6 months (currently) to get yourself started. Its not too much, but it helps you to get through.
