Barcelona
Its been a while since my last post… so here goes.
The last week has been pretty productive. I’ve got a ton of content done for the new site(s), purchased some great domains and locked down some amazing exclusive deals with some big sites (all while keeping the usual day to day ticking over and recruiting some new players).
So I’m fairly pleased. I actually made a mind map of where I see the company going in the future (the .com market is diminishing and its my view that affiliates will need to become localised as the sites do. Anyway that’s for another time!).
I’ve decided I want to get out of Edinburgh. Its an amazing city but, I never went away to uni and am almost 21. I need to see the world, meet new people and experience new things.
I know a few people in Barca and hopefully, can get a decent grasp on Spanish before I go.
Its not a case that I love Barcelona (I’ve not even been there before) but, if I can be anywhere in the world why should it be the UK ? and Barcelona seems like a fairly decent place to start.
In 12 months or so I aim to get an office and have a full time creative on board. I do not want to setup an office in Edinburgh. I’d feel that would be locking me down for life.
While im away I hope to play a lot of Squash (which should help me meet people) and maybe continue my uni degree or transfer over my uni credits to an Open university degree so at least I’ll scrape an undergrad degree sometime.
Anyway, I need to get away and do something different. It will be great for the business if I’m hanging out with 9-5ers or whatever the equivalent is there. At the moment my body clock is shot to pieces and ofcourse its my own doing however, in order for me to keep a different one I’d need to find a completley new group of mates which I don’t want to do. Its just the student lifestyle here and I’m looking for something a little different.
Anyway, I’m looking into a 1 on 1 Spanish tutor and looking to get started next week. I was thinking each day next week I have an hour of Spanish followed by 1 hour of Squash and although each day I’d be spending £50, it would get me doing something. At least some of my money would actually be improving my life and making me do these things – which is what I need.
Anyway, I got a few nice topics lined up to post about in the next few days so keep checking back !
Also the background should be changing soon to make it easier for you guys to read.
