NEXT STAGE

Next stage.

As the new Meet Up group has been formed called Pirate Entrepreneurs we now have 17 new members to add to the 45 from money power sex. When you want to build a larger group the best way is to keep launching new ones to attract different eyes. The first meeting of both groups will be Monday if I get a confirmation tonight from the venue.

This is getting more exciting now as the first June BOOTCAMP this month has booked out directly so the next date is at the end of July for that one. The program is an intensive two days for those who want to really make headway quickly with the success program.

There are so many great things happening here, but one of the coolest developments is that each initial hundred will be divided into 20 groups of five with a team leader. Each team will greenhouse new marketing ideas at every weekly meeting that will be implemented over the next seven days. Each week the  competition for the most new players,  will result in some great prizes for the winning team. This is going to be fast and furious with some friendly competition within the overall group working together. Entrepreneurialism is about results and that's the focus of what will be taught, keep you eyes on where the money is and go for it. Too many people in business sit around waiting for it to happen, you really have to take it to the Market. 

Delegation is now the order of the day as I'm literally working 24 seven refining all the aspects of the structure and changing the web site accordingly. One of the benefits of taking time out to teach yourself web design with a package like Serif is you can have a new webs site up and running in under an hour as well as up date everything as you go effectively getting Google to recognise the site as you build. It's a bit of a learning curve but nothing anyone can't do with the support from Serif. Rather than pay a web designer £80 an hour and wait for the update followed by a bill, you can have your creative thoughts moving with the Market the moment you think of them. Serif package is about £45.

Things like auto responders are next for the course so Brett who is on holiday doesn't have to send them out. Automating the process takes a reasonable amount of work but once a step is finished that one that doesn't have to be done again.

Hopefully Dan will have enough time to film some openings for the website. Having done plenty of research into the best way to connect with people, undoubtedly having a video explanation is key for the site. It gets people to see who you are and connect with you. Even thought the basic cost of initial registration works out at less than £5 per week, people still need to look and feel confident about the program which has run into scepticism because it's so cheap. But that's an essential of it.. To make it accessible to anyone.

It was rather engaging when I was at the pitch meetup last week when people were asking me how much it was to get involved and  the book  £100, and .98p respectively  does tend to make the sceptics look at their feet as they just can't work it out.

I have decided to set up a premiere entrepreneurs group for people with considerable experience in business as something of a think tank. This will be a dinner each month at a good haunt and an annual membership. 

Now I'm a bit fitter I will be attending networking do's to find the twenty group leaders I want who will help me find the balance of the other eighty players. The focus is now very much on talent and ability for the first one hundred to ensure maximum rewards from the first seven week period. I'm looking for individuals who will drive forward along side me as the project now needs the support and more than just my man hours.

The operation was a month ahead of schedule a month ago as your truly opened his big mouth to state. Now we are just about where we are supposed to be thanks to a virus that has slowed me down. I must say although painful ,it was a good thing as it's given me time to reflect, consolidate and focus on how to develop next.
