i’ve been following your teachings since I saw you at the Olympia exhibition last month. That presentation persuaded my that you know what are you talking about, and therefore decided to learn more about what you have to say.

i’ve come to two main points, that are a kind of questions that i’d like to explore:

1. social media. I’ve been a complete ignorant about the importance of the social media revolution happening in front of me. However I am spending some productive time learning how to kick off. So, I am getting into the good habit of opening up to other people in order to do networking by offering something entertaining. By the way I am a photographer.

2. I am not sure if I am an entrepeneur. as well as you I didn’t became a trader as soon as I jumped out of the woumb. But considering where I come from ( a small city in the south west of Venezuela + a non-business oriented family) and that I’ve been in the UK for the last 7 years (many of them as a student), I became a photographer with a very primitive conception of running business. Fortunately for me, I married a more business oriented woman from Beijing (China) , who has helping me a lot to mature about the running of an individual & professional activity AND since I am in London AND I got under the influence of a much more Business oriented environment, I have became a bit of a entrepeneur. And after 6 years as a photographer and 2 years as a Director I have built a small but solid group of loyal customers that keep me and my family warm and fed, if you know what I mean. So, why I write you all this stuff, first because I want to learn more, and despite the fact that I consider myself a good student – when the master is good – I am willing to go through the whole program of your School for Start ups (the 5 days) starting from the 19/01/2010.

now, you mentioned – do something people want –

when we did the photos of the children of a nursery (as we did last month),
I understood that. The parents loved it, and they bough twice as much as our previous nursery job. So it was a success. However, I am starting to think about what’s next. Certainly I can produce more than just plain photography (see the latest work on video in our website), even more successful. It all seems to come down to marketing and networking.

despite all that, I’d like to jump out of that and create something else. To solve a problem. But about photography and video, what problem could be solved?

i’ll leave it till here now. Thanks for your good articles. Hope to see you on the 19th. Happy Christmas.
