Learning to Fly, Finding Toilets, and Other Important Business Matters …

Ah yes, Tom Petty’s “Learning to Fly”. What a great song, and certainly a great way to sum up business and life in general. Probably better than this, right …?

But I digress. Starting a business, or even just running one, is a tough journey. So the more people that join you on your way, the better. Think of this blog as that opportunity – an opportunity to be involved in a community of individuals all “learning to fly” together.

By the way, if you accidentally found this page because you were literally searching for tips on how to fly, now might be a good time to hit the “Back” button (ah, the joys of search engines ….). I mean, I don’t personally have any tips on flying … although I suspect it helps actually having a plane … otherwise you’ll be “Free Fallin’” …

Anyway, you probably have a few questions at this point in time. You know, questions like:

• so what is the point of this blog?
• why should I spend my time on here?
• could you point me in the direction of the nearest lavatory?

Now, I’m pretty sure I can answer the first two questions. I can’t say I can answer the third question, although I’m sure that’s a business opportunity waiting to be grasped with both hands. Actually, scratch that last point – if you’re in Australia, believe it or not, there is a service to help you. Check out www.toiletmap.gov.au

Yes, it amazes me too. Of course, by the time you actually find a toilet using this method, it will probably be too late …

But back to the questions:

So, what is the point of this blog?

Naturally, as you can tell, this will be a very serious business blog. Strictly public relations material. I’ll only be talking about my business and my services, and I’ll pretend that you actually care about that. I might even tell you how great me and my business are, and then keep reminding you about my prices and services. Actually, that’s ALL I will ever talk about here … and I’ll hide behind a corporate mask.

Gee, sounds GREAT, doesn’t it …? “Quick, WHERE DO I SUBSCRIBE??!!”, I hear you say!

Okay, obviously that was a heavy dose of sarcasm (if it was too heavy, you may need to use the toilet map locater above …).

It amazes me how MANY businesses actually start a blog like this, and use it for NOTHING other than promoting themselves, and telling you how great they are. If you’re anything like me (a Polish immigrant who loves parallel parking) I’m pretty sure you HATE that as much as I do. So take it from me – this is NOT the approach I will be using with this blog.

My goal with this blog is to develop a community of like-minded individuals (preferably without bladder problems …), who wish to support each other in their business journeys. Starting a business – any business – is a really exciting time. I know – I’m going through it right now. You probably know too. Maybe you’re already running a business. Maybe you’re about to start one. Or maybe you’re thinking about one while you’re stuck in a job you don’t like (hopefully you’re not working for the toilet map locater people …).

This blog is here to help ALL of you during this exciting time (well, apart from that last example … you’re on your own with that one!).

But this blog is not only for those of you starting or running a business. It’s also for those of you who are looking for additional tips and strategies in your current employment or personal projects. We will ALL benefit.

Why should I spend my time on here?

Apart from building a community together, this blog is an opportunity for both you and me to learn more about how we run our businesses and projects. And it’s an opportunity to learn how to do it BETTER. Unfortunately, the bar often isn’t set very high in business or in life. That’s why you’re here, isn’t it? You want to be one of the select few who aim high in life and business. Welcome.

I’m very excited about this blog, and I’m excited about sharing tips, advice, thoughts, tutorials and videos with all of you. Am I an expert on all of this? Of course not. No one is. Will you gain something from my articles though? Absolutely. Will others (including me) gain from your comments on these blog posts? Damn straight we will! :)

So over the coming months, stand by for all sorts of tips and tricks. So make sure you subscribe to my email list (the big red subscription box at the top right hand side of this page). You can also join us on Facebook and Twitter.

And remember – the direction of this blog will also be shaped by YOUR input, so I encourage you to post comments in future articles. Let’s open up some discussion. And let’s find out about your business too! I’m looking forward to meeting you all! :)

So until next time, keep flying (but watch out for the telephone poles…)!
