Sometimes as entrepreneurs we work so hard that we forget to tell others about what we are doing and often we find that if we had just mentioned it to someone else, we could have perhaps saved some time or even money!!! Well this section is for those who want to promote themselves and their ideas. Perhaps you haven´t yet made it to a meeting or had a chance to do a 2 minute presentation at one of our open-mic sessions.
Feel free to promote yourself and your ideas in this section…obviously we don’t expect to see your business plans and company accounts here!!!
Don’t be shy… PROMOTE YOURSELF

Hi,
Not sure if I understood you right, are you talking about promoting in the meetings or here on the website? I tried to look for a “promote yourself”-section, but couldn’t find it.
Regards,
David

Hi David,
This is where you promote yourself!!! The section is located on the right hand menu about half way down under Categories. When you open the ‘ promote your self’ section, you can make your post by pressing the Comments tag.
You can also of course, come along to the meetings and do a 2 minute open-mic presentation.
Cheers

Dear All
First of all thanks to Tony, Nick and Rob for organising the meeting last night. Good job. I liked the venue a lot though it was difficult to hear some of the presentations.
For those who were not there (or who were unable to hear my presentation) I would like to repeat that I am interested in finding an entrepreneur who wants to take our site http://www.bcn-nightlife.com and do something useful (and profitable) with it.
The site is a good basis for anything night-life related. It has a very strong web presence and over 40,000 unique IPs (ie real people) a month
Why don’t we do it ourselves? We have of course tried playing with some ideas but with little success, and we have another business managing 60 holiday apartments which pays our salaries and takes up our time and thoughts.
We need someone dedicated to making it a success, and that will only happen if we have the right person behind it, with the right incentive.
The deal would include an ownership agreement for the website and the project and there is 0 chance of a “salary”. You get the risk and the reward
This is also not for a part-time dreamer. You need to be 100% dedicated to it.
Interested? Let me know
Want to tell me what I can do to make money out of the site? Thoughts are also welcome.
Many thanks
Scott Doane

Welcome to the next generation in sports & health coaching.
In order to obtain a healthy and dynamic life we have to keep an eye on our lifestyle and habits. Living in and around a big city puts a lot of strain on our body and mind. Stressful situations are almost inevitable consuming a lot of our energy every day. That is why we offer high quality sports & health services. As a core to work from, we emphasize the ideal combination of prevention, rehabilitation and performance. Always keeping an eye on the fun aspect of sports of course.
With over 10 years of combined experience in Personal Training, our trainers and monitors have been active in several European countries before finally establishing our company in Barcelona. We are able to facilitate our sessions in six different languages, giving our clients the best opportunity there is to communicate with our us and vice versa. By doing so we maximize your results immediately.
Our first session is for free. You will get to know our goals and, more importantly, you will learn about setting your own. Moreover you will get informed about our holistic training approach and your possibilities in changing what it is you always wanted to change. So make a choice and make it happen.

Hello everybody,
I am a former Walt Disney animator who has been teaching for drawing for twelve years, clients including major art museums in Los Angeles (teaching drawing to visitors in the museums’ education departments). This summer I will begin offering a unique opportunity to drawing and traveling enthusiasts–Sketching in Spain. These will be week-long sketching tours of Barcelona. We will spend five days exploring and sketching the city, and also spend a day at Montserrat, and a day in Sitges. Please visit my website: http://www.sketchinginspain.com If you know of ways that I might reach potential students/clients (I am in particular trying to target the British market), please let me know, and if you know anyone who might be interested in participating, please direct them to my website. I currently live in Florence, Italy, but will be in BCN this summer 2008 and look forward to meeting other members at a future ENB event.

Do you know of international visitors to Barcelona who need a Spanish mobile phone number while they are here?? AND of course would like to avoid those extravagant call setup charges when they phone home, who doesn´t!!
That´s a 1min call to the US for 10€c, or pay for as much as you talk and no more, that´s the deal.
For just 15€, which includes 10€ call credit, and no contract, I can set them up with just that, or more if they ask the right questions.
Get them to call 93 30 27 617 and ask for Chris.
