ogiziu P&L: -41.5 ħ (≃ -366 USD)

☑️ I made and polished the English version of the website (e.g. Header, buttons, colors, etc.)

☑️ Merged Miro boards with old (2kokono) and new (ogiziu) brand descriptions

☑️ Tidied our Miro board for ease of use (to have a flow of what the next steps are)

Listening to Ruta about a rebrand and next steps (merging miro, wireframes)

☑️ Sketched a value proposition with key benefits for the customer

☑️ Planning

☑️ Mapped customer problems and desired change (feelings, habits, skills)

☑️ Narrowed down to a specific problem and solution

☑️ Identified 4 personas

☑️ Started mapping customer journeys

☑️ Chosen a Spartan font as a Primary Font

☑️ Looked up several Google Fonts that works for both, Lithuanian and English (as in a link)

☑️ Choosen brand colors of Purple and Green

☑️ Explored shades of purple, green, pink, orange as in a palette attached

☑️ Registered ogiziu.com and ogiziu.lt

☑️ Brainstormed other names that express an a-ha or awe moment like "oh-uh-ah.com", "eiei.lt", "ogi-ziu.com", "oziu.com", "obaziu", ...

☑️ I walked in the forest and spent time thinking if the new name is the right one.

I imagine a new brand name to be used in conversations between friends to mark a social change moment, when friends are creating instead of consuming; also creating slowly instead of rushing to burnout:

-"What's up?"

-"ogiziu, I slow down, I rest, I create"

☑️ I discovered a new brand name "ogiziu" which in lithuanian is in fact a sentence "ogi, žiū" that means a surprise moment, a micro observation moment when creative thought enters the mind, such micro moments make a life easier

☑️ I registered an Instagram account

☑️ Preparing for wireframing: Organising my thoughts on Miro into a Moodboard

Listening to Ruta's progress and next steps:

"Updates from last week on Miro: name and logo meaning, ...

Course Outline: The steps on Miro on how she creates her course now.

Ideas:

• Let's create a diary! with Templates for doing our courses (how to create brands, wireframes, etc).

• Brand Universes with creatures living on websites and designing websites (wireframes) as comics!

Persona: For people worldwide wanting to quit their jobs and have their own business OR a past self (marketer) who wants to start a biz while learning to connect with the heart and learning web design.

Next steps: Website concept as comics, wireframes, course outline (with backgrounds/outfits)."

☑️ I recorded 2 lessons:

• one about Business Ideas from Zero (Heart + World Needs)

• one about how easy it is to update a website with Elementor

☑️ I realised that: I want to have a structure for background colors and outfit colours before I record. Background for each lesson should match a mood and a stage in a Customer Journey.

☑️ After thinking on my own, discussing domain name ideas with Mindey and Malu, I decided to use "2kokono.com" in english as a primary domain, which allows to clearly differentiate target audiences and offerings: 2kokono.com is for self-realisation services and kokono.ie is for business services

☑️ Explained the name "2kokono" meaning and the background story with links on Miro

☑️ Added a transparent background to the logo

☑️ Explained logo meaning

Listening to Ruta about 2kokono:

"Dream: Have an army of consultant that go everywhere. Write a book on our method.

Value prop: Teach people to do. Doers gym for worms who want to self-improve!

Plan: Blogging, partnerships with influencers, prototyping 3 lessons for next week.

Step 1: Record 3 lessons to start Step 2: Upload to Youtube + LearnDash Step 3: Publish the mini course

Challenge: Brand name - now solved."

☑️ Discussing the plan for 2022 with Malu

☑️ Followers tribe name "Sensors" as sensing creatives

☑️ Created our new Telegram channel "Sensors" for lifelogging our ideation about this content development milestone

Updated a website with new texts and images, and 4 learning challenges based on a discussion with Malu beforehand.

The idea is to showcase the main learning experience on the website and later on to test this with potential students. The main question is: What process would students go through to learn creative problem solving?

Creativity Process for our students to experience:

• Loving Systems challenge: a habit forming learning experience to learn "no judgment" and increase a sense of a peace of mind as a foundation (soil) for creativity

• Pausing Systems challenge: a habit forming learning experience to learn "observation" and remove inner blockers (weeds) that prevent creativity

• Tiny Move challenge: a habit forming learning experience to learn "prototyping" and complete small works in focused flow states over a long period of time

• Symbiotic Creativity challenge: a habit forming learning experience to learn "co-creation" and to allow one's ideas to merge with another person's ideas, so that a whole that's bigger than its parts is created

In the call we discussed:

• Realised a need to prototype a whole dream (learning space) instead of one course only

• Discussed an idea of KOKONO integrating with 0oo for potential online space for project-based learning

• Mapped the needs of potential students in Argentina: "people need to learn to create solo first, and later on to collaborate", "people need to feel cared for in a beautiful space", "people need to unlearn their bias before they learn something new"

• Mapped the key questions of "Where are the changemakers and wannabe entrepreneurs?", "How can people quit a job and get money elsewhere?", "Where do people go to learn to create passion projects and to find creative partners?", "How to teach reflection and to problem solve?"

• Mapped the steps we both want to teach: "Learn to live with less", "Explore your story and discover your purpose", "create something out of nothing", "encouraging people to reflect", "create your own ecosystem as a professional network"

• Made 2 early stage prototypes of landing pages on Miro

• Realised that Instinto Creador is more interested to be a creativity learning space starting with the body first

• Realised that KOKONO is more interested to be a creativity learning space starting with the mind and projects first

• Merging happened! Instinto Creador and KOKONO come up with a blended process where people would learn all - Body, Mind connection as a springboard for creativity on this planet Earth

• Came up with an early stage process for learning creativity based on 4 learning challenges and sketched that on paper - Loving Systems, Pausing Systems, Prototyping, Co-Creation - that would feel like playing a game Mario Bro :)

Imagined how incubator would work and what assumptions we need to test to build in the core value

Ruta and Malu had a call to discuss:

• websites content: kokonolab.com and instintocreador.com will be for courses, kokono.ie for services

• website review: kokonlab.com prototype

• courses topics and challenges - as products to sell

• pricing for services

• next steps: prototyping course landing pages on Monday, 13th Sept

A website about a space for learning creativity with sample classes; colour palette of black and neon to communicate an idea of personal transformation (black) and creativity (colourful plasticine images)

First I made a website under a different domain and hosting (Sept 7th), and then I recreated a website on a new hosting under a new domain (Sept 8th)

A call on Zoom and Miro with Colm and Amy about creating a virtual incubator where people create a passion project with reflective exercises and how to test this idea in a real world
