Navid Modiri is an interesting guy. He has managed to create a fun and creative blog which he lives off 100%. LabforCulture interviewed Navid revealing his entrepreneurial moves and the next steps.

Navid says he started out by realising that he was spending too much watching TV, being bored and "consuming a lot". He already used social online tools and starting a blog became a way "to do something to feel alive". So he started posting different things to do each day, such as an activity or game, hence the name 365thingsyoucando. Have a look at the entry "Put yourself on Wikipedia" for example!

With 1000’s of people starting to follow the blog and opening their own 365thingstodo blogspots the movement started to grow.  Navid now also organises offline events such as workshops and seminars in museums and schools, promoting his blog, and the overall concept to create!

He says when asked about offshoots of his blog, "the weed is part of the process... it's about letting go and people doing their own thing", which is a interesting business model.  The original blog is written in Swedish and has received regional and national funding. In January 2010 it will be available in English too. There is a demo up where you can experience a number of 365thingsyoucando.com in English already. Have some fun with it!
