Why Spain Is Still A Great Place To Live

With the news coming out of Spain at the moment anyone might be forgiven for thinking that Spain is not a great place to live. Certainly for a lot of people things are hard at the moment in Spain and it doesn’t look like there is any chance of a quick economic recovery especially when you consider we probably have the most inept government ever seen on the face of the planet. Without an economic recovery things will continue to be difficult on the jobs front without a shadow of a doubt. However Spain can still be a great place to live for a variety of reasons as long as you have the basics in place

How To Make The 16 Hour Workday Into The Four Hour Workweek

For many years working as an estate agent in the Spanish property market a 16 hour day was considered for wimps. 18 hours a day 7 days a week and no holidays was the norm. We were so busy that we literally had no time to build a business and therefore when things slowed down of course the business didn’t work too well.

The Spanish 30DCHome crew had a meeting this weekend. We talked, discussed, brainstormed and more and out of it has come a solid plan which will be presented on Tuesday. Already got a lot of actionable steps to take in the next few days and we feel that the whole could be a lot greater than the sum of its parts.

Flogging A Dead Horse and Picking The Right Path

Just before starting this rant I really want to emphasise something, I am not talking about me here, I am just not. However I will use some of my experience with one particular project (Which shall remain nameless) to tell you when it’s time to call it a day.

I see so many people flogging a dead horse online these days that sometimes I just want to scream at them “Just give it up” However I do want to emphasise one thing here, this should not be done if you haven’t really followed through. Lots of people give up just before they would have struck gold because they haven’t really done everything, they just haven’t dug deep down into the niche and milked it for everything it might well be worth. Lots of people choose the wrong path.

Facebook are looking for beta testers for a new product. You need to be able to write authoritatively about subjects, mmm I wonder why? Oh yeah, Facebook Wiki. Anyway if you think you can write in an authoritative way then look at the questions below. I have placed my answers in there to give you an example.

Conceptualising The Net and Making Money

I have to say that it took me some time to realise that you could actually, and I hate this word, monetise the internet. For years I understood that you had to physically sell something on the internet to actually earn money. The reason was simple. I had an estate agency and the internet generated leads in the form of clients who came over and bought a house for sale in Spain. Simple really. However that is slightly removed from actually earning money on the internet. That is a real world business supported by a shop window of the internet presence.

Why Spain and Websites Don’t Mix

I have been developing a lot of websites recently and it is actually embarrassingly easy to rank websites for certain keywords in Spain. With a little thought and a small amount of backlinking you can be on the first page of Google.es within a few hours at times. Why is this though? Why doesn’t Spain get websites?

Entrepreneurs and the Addictive Personality

Obviously I don’t know about you, but I would like you to tell me in the comments all the same, but I have one of those terribly addictive personalities. I start something and then I must finish it. Therefore for me there is no gaming on the computer because a whole day could disappear, I only play on the Wii when accompanied so I won’t be the first to get bored but when one person gets bored the rest of us can stop too, I hardly drink, have never smoked and most importantly of all these days I live in a country where there are no betting shops and I have never really started with the online betting stuff.

September and Back To Work (For Some)

I really haven’t had a long break during the summer and really that suits me better because getting started again is really difficult. Spain is showing that at the moment. Everyone came back to work yesterday, apart from some bank managers who will not be back until next Monday, and all I hear from people is that starting up again is so difficult.

Why Spanish Banks Are Absolutely Useless: A Rant

What should I write about tonight for Entrepreneur Solo. Oh yes, Spanish banks!

The BBVA!! and I have deleted the expletive between “The” and “BBVA” there

I was on holiday last week and discovered that I had used my credit card to the tune of 221 Euros. Now this was a credit card that I don’t have so I thought I would ask my useless bank to give me a printout. They did and I looked and found out that apparently at some stage during July I was in the Carribbean spending my cash.
