Flying Startups Pilots Logs

Submitted by Guest on Sat, 11/06/2005 - 16:29.

It was great to meet those of you who came along to the Start-Up show in Birmingham last week. And hundreds of copies of the book were sold over the two days there, so welcome to all those of you who were introduced to 'Start Your Business Week by Week' at the event, and have now joined the website!

Now that I've got a weekend at home at last I've been spending some more time reading pilots logs and answering questions in the forums. Here are some interesting posts (click on the name to read them):

  • [?person:blog/394 Gracetrain] is in the first few weeks of her business, but has already been working on getting her first customer - great work!
  • [?person:blog/217 Laurajay] has got her own offices - and lots of customers - for her marketing consultancy.
  • [?person:blog/236 Mark Gittos] has been active in the forums, but has now started a pilots log too. He's part of a group of small businesses that have decided to work together. Great idea.
  • [?person:blog/442 tcjaccounting] is excited, but nervous - and already has some customers.
  • [?person:blog/206 irena] came along to the Start-Up show in Birmingham and doesn't think the photo of me in the back of the book looks anything like me!! (I don't know whether she thinks i look better or worse in reality!!). She also took away the message from the day of 'Focus!', and is still searching for a mentor.
  • [?person:blog/424 Emily] Openly admits to skipping Week 2 (the focus noticeboard)!!! :) She's already seen the benefit of cutting back on TV though.
  • [?person:node/475 Cassandra] has a report of her visit to the Start-Up show to add to her great pilots log - well woth a read for other budding entrepreneurs. She's very open (That's Americans for you! ;) Much better at it than us reserved Brits. ) and you can pick up a lot of ideas and advice from her progress.

If you haven't started a pilot's log yet - start now! It's a great way of picking up advice and contacts from other people, and you'll have something to look back on in the future to remember the early years of your business.
