As you will know if you have been following the blog I am co-writing a book at the moment. Tentatively called “The Bootstrapping Book – How to start up a business from nothing” (Catchy title I know) it comprises ten chapters with various ideas for getting started in your own business without having to buy stock, rent a place to conduct your business or, in essence, put money down.
If you have never read “Think and Grow Rich”, “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and various other self help books you might not know about the Mastermind Process. If you have you can probably tell me more about it than I know. However for those who are not aware of how a mastermind group works and the dynamics of it you would probably be justified in reading and inwardly digesting this post.
I am currently working on a project with two other guys living in Spain because they choose to not because they are Spanish. We met in November at a conference in wet, cold Manchester and brought the thoughts back to the warmer climes of the Mediterranean to mull things over.
This morning I spent a lot of time editing four videos. Videos are a great way of getting your message out about something because more and more people are doing their searches in YouTube rather than through Google and because people’s attention span is often longer when the visual stimuli is interesting so not only the original video but also the editing is important.
“I’m sorry, we’ve just changed all the policies around that, you’ll have to call back in a few weeks” said the person at the Spanish embassy, promptly hanging up.
Great. I should be used to this by now, as it seems every time I get to grips with some aspect of the big move to Spain, someone changes the rules back in Spain!
As I mentioned in my previous post, we have a new book out “The Secrets to Working and Making a Living in Spain” which we are hoping will be a best seller over a long period of time. To this effect we decided to eschew the now infamous internet marketing style product launch, wham bam thank you man and onto the next product, and go for the drip feed approach to launching a book.
