Day One - Have you traded your seed yet?

Today was Day One, The Start, The Beginning, The day trading commences.

So what did I trade today?

Did someone want my seed to put under their mattress to see if they were a princess?

Or did they want it to flick at their enemy?

The answer to this immense question is.....No

That’s right! I have done zero trades so far!

One word came to my mind, can you guess what that word is?

Its humph, that’s right humph!

Will it put me off? What a silly question! Of course not!

Do you want to hear something exciting that did happen today? I may not have traded my seed just yet but I did get a reporter interested in my trades! That’s right! A real life reporter wants to write about little ol me and my SuperSeed challenge. That is sure to get some trades in! So watch this space. 

Kyle managed to trade his one red paper clip up for a real life house! Okay, he did take a year with his trades and I only have four weeks but I can surely get something impressive in four weeks right?

If you think you can be trade number one just drop an email my way at judithsuperseed@live.co.uk or leave a comment! I may even put your picture right here on my blog, now that would be rather cool wouldn’t it!

Day minus 1 – What will your first trade be?

That is the question on everyone’s minds right? What will be that first trade?

Well you can help me there.

Who wouldn’t want a lovely Moringa Seed? (Maybe someone who is phobic of Moringa Trees but I haven’t found that person so I am to take it they don’t exist!)

Some facts about the Moringa Tree your seed will grow into:

Even the BBC like the Moringa Tree.

Sounds too good to be true? Well it is The fact is we live in a country which will not be suitable to grow a Moringa Tree.

So you can’t grow a Moringa Tree from your seed, what else could you do with it?

You could.....

• Use it as a Full stop

• Attach it to a hula hoop and make a lovely ring

• Flick it at your enemy

• Wear it on your head to gain good posture (who needs books!)

• Put it under your mattress to see if you are princess (I know it isn’t a pea but I’m sure it works just as well!)

• Put it in a potato gun (shoot targets not people!)

Got any other ideas? Got any.... shock....horror.... better ideas?? Then trade with me! Just email me at judithsuperseed@live.co.uk or leave a comment with your trade idea and I will get back to you!

Day Minus 1 – Why are you getting involved with the SuperSeed Challenge then?

Why, you say? Well here goes...

I am taking part in one heck of a competition. It’s called Your Big Year and it is an official event of GEW (Global Entrepreneurship Week for those not in the know).

So what is Your Big Year then? That’s a very good question!

If you can’t (or don’t have time as we already established!) get to the website, the basics are here (you gotta love basics!)

Your Big Year was created by some more funky people at Smaller Earth. (Clicky Clicky)

It’s all about getting people engaged in entrepreneurship and global citizenship. Those are some big goals right? Well there is a big incentive for the people taking part. The winner of Your Big Year will go on a trip to 5 continents doing volunteer projects and meeting world and community leaders.

You are engaged already aren’t you!

The 12 finalists get flown to Liverpool for the final where they take part in ‘Apprentice Style’ challenges.

Well I am through to stage two of YBY! Only 111 people have got to stage two and one of them is me. 

Pretty cool huh? Want to know something even cooler? (Yes there is something even cooler, hard to think of such a thing I know!) I was a finalist last year!

Here are some pictures from my time in Liverpool for the final in 2010
