Alright what's going on. Welcome back.
So I'm here in Oaxaca city in Mexico. I
flew down here from Mexico City on
Tuesday. Today is Thursday morning.
Basically when I first started this
challenge I promised to show both
successes and failures - so far this week
has been a massive failure. So the
original plan before I came down here
was I had found this guy who was renting
multiple apartments. He had a wedding
venue, he had an event venue, all these
different things, but he didn't have a
website that reflected any of that. So I
figured this is going to be a perfect
first client for me for this challenge.
I come down here to make him an
amazing website that listed all these
different apartments, all the different
uses that he could be using his venue
for. But unfortunately I came down here
and spent the last two days trying to track
down this guy. We had been texting before I came here and it looked pretty solid.
I had in my own mind this really good plan, a really good proposal, tons of different
things that I could show this guy how we
could create some value with a new
website. Unfortunately came down here and spent the last two days chasing this guy
around.
He just wasn't responding to texts, and when
he did it wasn't even the right
information. Eventually I got a hold of this
guy yesterday evening. I got to meet him in person and this guy just didn't even let
me talk about what I had come the whole
way from Mexico City to tell him about.
He was more interested in trying to rent
me office space. It really sucks - I had, you
know, all the camera gear down here, had
the drone, all these different cameras,
was gonna start filming this thing
straight away, had ,you know, this plan for
you guys to show behind the scenes
interviews, all this different stuff, but
unfortunately, none of that has happened.
So I guess when you start from
zero with stuff like this you're gonna
have some problems, you're gonna have
some failures, for me this is pretty
frustrating. I wanted to get straight
into building an actual project and for
this guy. I had a really cool plan in
mind, you know, certain it would have made him a lot of money over the next few years
but I guess what this guy just wasn't
interested, didn't want to know about it,
we hadn't even talked about it. I spent
like 15 minutes with this guy and all he
wanted to talk about was this apartment
building
to rent. So it is what it is - today is
Thursday morning, I have two days left.
I have the rest of today and I fly back to
Mexico City
midday tomorrow. So what I'm gonna do is get out there get hustling try and land
another job just to get going with this
stuff. To have something on the board
right away
So one thing yesterday looking around
this place - there is a gym here in the
city. It's a pretty cool gym and they don't have
a website, they don't have a Facebook
page, they don't have an Instagram, so
what I'm trying to do today if possible
is set up a meeting with this gym. So I'm
gonna give that a go. Pretty frustrated
about this first job not coming through -
it's how it goes sometimes. So whatever,
I'm gonna try do what I can here and
hopefully turn this trip into a little
bit of a win. So I'll close this for now
and we'll see how things go.
Alright what is up - I am back I got a bit
of a smile on my face. So basically some
good luck - I came down here and met the
owners of this gym and I think there's
definitely a lot of opportunity here to
add some value. So basically at the
moment they don't have their own website,
they don't have their own email system,
they don't even have an Instagram page,
they do have a Facebook page but nobody
is looking after it, so got to sit down
with the owners talked about all the
different stuff. I could do they have an
amazing facility I think -
climbing wall, they have an aerobic setup,
there's a cardio set up, they have these
other kind of boxing rooms, on the roof
there's even a running track. It's going
to be a completely free website project.
I do get free gym membership for the
year which is good. So starting right
away - fly back to Mexico City tomorrow,
I'm going to start on this website and
I'm going to come back here next week.
I'm going to start shooting some photos,
some promotional videos, and start
putting together a website, a good email
system, new Facebook page, Instagram, all
that stuff. But this is going to be my
first project on this channel with this
new challenge so I'm pretty excited
about this. Thanks for sticking with me
on the challenge so far
Next week we'll get started right into
this project I'll show you everything
that I can
and how I'm gonna add a ton of value
, hopefully, for these businesses and then
in the future how to use this project to
get more projects, start building this
whole thing up. So that is it for this
week, thank you for joining me, and I will
catch you next week

[voice over] Alright so that is it for this episode on the next episode I'm gonna break down exactly how I got
this sale, how I'm gonna plan out this site,
and how I'm gonna build it and complete it - so
see you on next week's episode!
