I am pregnant
Not actually. Byt my wonderful girlfriend Elin is. But I was involved in the making of.
This is the most fantastic thing that has happened to me. I can not believe it. The feeling is so freaking awesome. This is really a dream coming true.
We found out about it 4,5 months ago. The thoughts has been spinning around my head. Is the baby healthy? is it a boy that will take over daddys business empire or is a little princess that will spend daddys money like Paris Hilton*.
A couple of days ago we did an ultra sound and for the first time go to see junior inside his/hers mothers body. The picture above is actually my baby. He/she was just like dad. Mischievous and restless. Trying to crush his/her mother urinary bladder ( moahaha ) and kicking like hell when the nurse was bothering.
This was one of the greatest moments of my life. The tears where flowing down my cheeks and a rush of happiness wen though my body.
* The statement above about a girl being like Ms. Hilton is meant as a joke. No need to get mad about that.
Going to Turkey
Tomorrow I am flying to Alanya in Turkey for some vacation. I am going to mix fun and work (work is also fun though). But mostly it wil probably just be a pleasure trip with some work from the beach surfing on my mobile phone.
I will do some updates on this blog. I have a few nice articles ready on personal development.
Today is my birthday
23 years ago today I was born. So today is my birthday.
Yesterday I had some friends over to celebrate, and we had a great time. Today all my closest family are coming for some cake and to give me presents =)
I am working on some new material for this blog, so do not worry about the lack of posts.
I am going on a cruise
Tomorrow we are going on a cruise over to Helsinki, Finland for 40 hours. I love these cruises because I really get to spend time with Elin since there is no way I can work on these, there are no TVs. Just awesome food, beautiful surroundings and partying all night long.
I promise you that you will get a more valuable post when I get back.

I am on a well earned vacation for 3 weeks with my fiance Elin. At the moment we are visiting Elins mother and uncle in Oxelösund, Sweden.
Today we visited Kolmården which is one of Swedens most famous Zoo’s. We had a great time and spent about 5 hours there.
Below you can see some pics from today.
Some cool tigers.
I found my twin brother and took him back home.
We will stay here for a couple of more days and after that our next stop is a cruise to Helsinki in Finland. I will do some updates for you but not as much business updates unfortunately.
Hectic but fun weekend
I am sorry to say this my friends but this weekend I will probbly not be able to post anything at all here. I have a lot to do, and it involves al lot of hard work but also a lot of heavy partying.
Tomorrow I will go to Linkin Parks concert here in Sweden and rock, rock and rock. 30 Seconds to Mars, which is another band I totally digg will also be playing before the big act. After this we will go out to a club and party all night long.
On Saturday, I will meet up with my new business partner Magnus to get started with our new venture, we will have meetings all day with a break in the afternoon with a visit to the swedish SEO-meet where we will network with some really interesting people, connecting for the future. This will be a great day I think.
The Real Andreas Bard
Jacob over at Zero To Med tagged me to present to you who I really am. I am sure most of you know me quite well by now, but here you got some new facts, and maybe some old.
I am a 22 years old but soon to be 23 years old man that lives in the beautiful country Sweden, and there are no polar bears here I swear, even though the climate is not very warm, at least not as warm as I want it to be.
I have no high level education, and everything I do in my companies I have learned myself by working online for the last 7 years. I finished school in the summer of 2003, after I had attended what we call ”Gymnasium” here in Sweden, 3 years where you preper your self for more studies or work. I studied Economics and Business but when I graduated I got no real use of it because I need to keep on studying to get real use of it.
I love to play basketball and other sports and love to be outdoors with my friends and family. I have never played in any higher divisions, because I have never felt I have been in sports to compete but to have fun (or maybe because I am not good enough).
My biggest dream except from starting my own company that I have had since I was a kid is to be a musician. I love music, both to play and listen but I am to afraid to ever let someone here me perform. But who knows what happens in the future?
Me and my wonderful fiance Elin are now trying to get pregnent with our first child, and I am really looking forward to it and I hope that I am able to be home 100 % the first year.
So there you have it, enjoy.
Business Lunch
Today I had a lunch meeting with one of my investors Björn. We had a really nice time and we also go to do some planning for the future of the company he is involved with (the english ltd.). We have great plans and we are planning to launch this new project within a couple of weeks.
I took some pictures today, so here they are just for you.
My lunch. Reindeer meat with mashed potatoes, sauce and lingonberry.
Today I was working at the childrens home and we have bought a new bad ass trampoline for them, and this thing is really bringing back the child in me. I played with the kids in this one all day so my abdominal muscles are really sore.
This years first barbeque
Today me and my girlfriend decided to have a small barbeque, just the two of us. This was very special to me since it was the first time we could take out the outdoor grill and grill some meat. It has been a wonderful day here in Sweden, with 25 degrees celcius outside (remember we are in Sweden) and the sun was shining.
It is a wonderful feeling sitting outside with my laptop. Below you can see my home invented laptop cover. It blocks out the sun perfectly.
We live in an apartment so unfortunetely we can not have a real big grill so we use a small electric one, but it works for me as long as the raw meat gets grilled.
Raw meat again. I promise when they were done, they tasted amazingly good.
Below is a picture of me and my wonderful fiance Elin when we were taking a walk in one of the most beautiful parts of Stockholm, Djurgården. Not our best picture, but the moment was amazing.
Andreas, what is up with these lame ass personal updates? Well, I think it is fun to break down the topic of this blog from time to time, to show you guys more of who I am when I am not building and working on my businesses. So sorry guys, you will see more of my personal life in the future but of course the main topic on this blog is still my business ventures.
I have been tagged
This blog post is sponsored by:
Debt Blog
I have been tagged, and that twice. Adnan over at Blogtrepreneur.com tagged me to list “5 Things You Didn’t Know About Me” and my fellow entrepreneur David Lithman tagged me to list my goals for 2007. So here are the lists:
5 Things You Didn’t Know About Me
1. I have been drunk only once. It was on a school trip to Warzaw in Poland in some strange bar, and I do not really know what I was drinking.
2. I have played basketball for like 7 years but had to stop 3 years ago when I was going to do my military service for 1.5 years. When that was over the team was not active no more.
3. I have very few real friends since I can not stand people that are not as commited to me like I am to them. Most of my friends I have met online and become very good friends with, mostly because they share my interests and understand what I am, a crazy entrepreneur.
4. I sometimes work at a group home for mentally disabled children. It is the best thing I have ever done and I really have a passion to help these children get a better life. I recommend this to anyone, you really grow as a human being and another + is that you get out of the office for some time.
5. I was bullied when I was a kid since the other kids considered me fat, well I was a big guy and so what? Fortunately it did not touch me at all, and now I am stronger than those guys and I will be more successful. Funny how stuff turns around huh?
My Goals for 2007
1. Start a new media company with my girlfriend.
2. Start making money from Adsense, short term $10 a day and long term $50 a day.
3. Read more books
4. Focus more
5. Get a new office
6. Work-out more
7. Do more active work in work sessions
8. Buy a house
9. Become a father
10. Get married
Wow, that was hard but fun.
