Up to the Top Floor

Peek-a-boo! I didn’t podfade Well.. and if, then only temporarily. This almost 40 minute long episode brings you an update on what happened during 2007.

And guess what I find when looking back? It’s all about networking, networking, networking. And don’t be afraid to expand your horizon by stepping outside your comfort zone every now and then.

It’s time again for another update. Today I’ll talk about the PodcastAward, networking, preparing myself for a new field, a new podcast, workshops, workshops, workshops, and a hot phase that’s coming up for top floor productions

Oh yes, it’s been a busy busy month, and another busy one to come. But great things happening.. listen to today’s episode to find out more.

Oh well.. two steps back down the ladder. Need to climb a bit faster now I guess.

Today’s episode comes to you from the middle of a thunderstorm.

This is the third week of the business seminar that I’ve been participating in over the last weeks. Let’s talk to a few of the participants about their learnings.

Quick update regrading a) the seminar, b) the first results of my promotional activities and c) because I had some time left today (yes, unbelievable…)

Got an intern, and going to be on a business starter seminar for the next three weeks.

Here’s an update on how the grand opening went on Sunday

There are more pictures here and here (thanks Adrian for making those available)

Oh yes! top floor productions is officially opened as of today!

Had a blast for the whole day.. lots of visitors, great live music, wonderful helpers, and now I’m simply too tired to post pictures or anything else, just wanted to let you know that everything went well.

Will get out an update asap!

Oh well.. I wrote that I wouldn’t have time to do another podcast before the opening, but that was a lie.. surprise! Listen to today’s episode and come along as my new office space gets a really special touch thanks to the help of Jan, Chris & Holger, some masking tape and a whole lot of spray cans!

… just in case you’d like to drop by for the opening tomorrow, here’s the address:

Sunday, Apr/9/2006, 2-7pm

Bei den Pferderställen 12
72072 Tübingen

Directions if you’re coming from direction Stuttgart:
B27 Stuttgart -> Tübingen

Once you pass the Tübingen “Ortsschild” take the next left (you’ll see “Autohaus Diedler” at that left corner)
Next left again
Next left again
Second right
*TADAA*
(you can park in the large parking garage “Parkhaus Französisches Viertel” opposite my office)

.. and if you have to ask, ask for “Parkhaus Französisches Viertel” which most people should know.

Hope I’ll see a few of you there tomorrow!

Yep.. after the office has been painted, I’ve now attached the new sign to the outside. Wahoo.. the whole thing just all of a sudden feels way more real than it ever did before And two more days to go to the opening..

(Btw. now after the windows have finally been cleaned from both, inside and outside, the whole room is suddenly much brighter than it was before :))

A HUUUUGE THANK YOU goes out to Andres who is not just a great artist, but also designed the logo that I now use for top floor productions.

Oh, and sorry, I can’t do an audio podcast right now, just too busy, but I’ll keep documenting and will get a new audio one next week.

Just a quick update on the proceedings.. 4 more days to go!

Alright, here’s an important part of my promotional material. The flyers. 2500 flyers to be precise. That’s 29 kilos of paper. Here’s a few quick snaps:

WARNING: today’s episode might not be entirely work/family-safe.

Almost live from the renovation work at the top floor productions headquarters. Including some music by the A-Scholars!

Find your goals, long-term and short-term, financial and otherwise, and learn to break things down into smaller, manageable pieces.

Talked a lot about promotion lately, so today I’ll talk a bit about the other P’s.

Is doing others a favour going to help you in the long run? Some thoughts about that on today’s episode.

Talking about planning again.. and refining my plans. Should talk more about the actual doing part. That’ll be up next I guess.

More about marketing and a real-life example of what networking can do for you - the planned date for the grand opening is Apr/09 - with a great guest!
