2010? Good Riddance!

The last month has been lost in the ether for me. Because of fiestas, lots of news coming from the left field, visits, idiots who have placed us in an unenviable position through irresponsibility and a host of other things I cannot wait to turn the page and get into 2011.

 

A few weeks ago I gave a presentation at the Turbo Charge Networking Event in Fuengirola. Here are the slides in their original format. Obviously without the commentary they make a little less ense. However if you go to the link at the end you can listen to the whole presentation and get a copy of all of the resources mentioned.

 
Neglect

I have been seriously neglecting this blog. There are many reasons but I am not going to go into excuses here, just to tell you I have been unfaithful. I am writing my best stuff on two other sites at the moment, http://www.blokesontheblog.co.uk and as a guest post author on http://www.birdsontheblog.co.uk. Therefore not much is coming on here that is new. Ally that to the summer and the ridiculous number of clients coming into http://www.Valencia-property.com then you can see that [...]

 
The Scum At The Daily Mail and The Idiots Who Read It (and Believe It)

There is one bit of great news coming out of the social media revolution. Newspapers are dying out. At current rates there will be no papers left in the United States by the year 2050 and hopefully the same thing will happen in the UK after Levenson and the standards of reporting having fallen so low.

 
The Laptop Entrepreneur - The Anti Crisis Book

Wherever you go in Spain and, I am reliably informed, in the UK and many other places too you overhear the following words; “Crisis”, Recession”, “Lost Job”, “Unemployment” and various others of the same type. There is a generalised fear around that is making people scared of taking action to actually do anything because they believe there is no point, nobody is buying. I would just like to say one thing at this point, don’t believe the hype.

 
If You Don't Like Swearing...

…then it’s probably not wise to read my article about the attitude of David Cameron last week at the European summit, Just One Square Mile . If you don’t mind swearing then you are safe to read and agree or disagree according to whether you think Cameron has become a national hero or that he has made Britain a pariah in Europe,

 
How Do You Become The Google Of Your Market?

Living in Spain is rather strange at times. I have said before in these pages that Spanish life is rather conformist, what one person does successfully everybody else follows in general. Successful estate agents beget copycat models, and the same can be said of academies, theme bars, delicatessens and a huge etcetera. Google is the absolute killer in this area though because people started to use it and everybody else followed. Loads copied but none got traction. In fact just like in English there is a phrase which says “Look for it in Google”, ie Google it.

 
A Guest Post About The Elections in Spain

I was so busy last week the only thing I had time to write was a guest post I was asked for about the elections in Spain. You can see the start of it here.

“So Rajoy has won, sort of, by default. It has been presented as a crushing victory for the Conservative PP in Spain but if we look behind the veneer of an absolute majority in Parliament there are a few things that we notice.

 
A Ramble About Stopping and Thinking

Returning to the theme from the other day about the importance of stepping back and stepping away from a project before carrying on. This morning I wasted an hour. And in this case I really did waste it by doing a few things that I like to call “checking up” when really it should just be called nosing around.

 
The Race Is On. Which Project Will Work Out First?

I have been preparing a few projects recently and they are now coming to fruition.

The big question is which of them will pay off first and if any of them will actually pay off at all?
