A week to remember

This week has been an amazing week so far. Of course there is the weekend still to come.

These are the highlights of what happened this week:

  • The Sustainability Writers Network (TSWN) is taking shape and I was able to recruit 10 more great writers. I will write more about this network next week.
  • I have been to two great MeetUps here in London and connected to many great people.
  • Connected to Kevin Long the COO of JustMeans. Great guy.
  • Got another call with a request for a consulting pitch next week.
  • The SustainabilityForum.com got over 60 new members in only a week with the best ever week in terms of traffic.
  • My cooperation with AccountAbility21 kicked off.
  • Bought a new domain with great potential: SustainableChina.com.
  • Sold a domain after weeks of negotiation.
  • My new design for this blog was finished and went live.

All in all has this been a very productive week and thank you to everyone that I met or that visited my websites.
Next week I am off to Germany for three days and back in the UK on Wednesday evening. I am going to the Entrepreneur Meetup on Thursday morning and have important meetings on Tuesday and Friday. Keep the fingers crossed for another successful week next week everyone.

I will provide an update when I am back from Germany.

All the best,
Fabian

Berlin this week and the redevelopment of this blog

Advance warning: It is already after midnight now so already apologies for my bad English, but I felt that I needed to write my next blog post before I am going to bed.

I have been in Berlin/Germany most of this week and helped out at the ILA exhibition where my parents had an exhibition stand to present the products they are selling in the aviation business. This meant that I was able to enjoy the great sunny weather we had here in the eastern parts of Germany where as in the western parts of Europe thunderstorms and rain pretty much ruined the week. This was a welcomed change to my regular business activities as well. But to be perfectly honest, I am also happy to get back to the things I love. And that is to build my consulting business and manage and develop my current websites.

This leads me nicely to the other developments of the week. After the exhibition today I went into Berlin City Centre to meet a pair of Wordpress Designer and Programmers to discuss the update of this blog and the SustainabilityBlog.org. These two are running the business called GoYippie. Kati and Christian (the two people running goYippie) are really nice and highly competent people as far as I can tell. We talked extensively about my thoughts of redevelopment, agreed a fee for the redevelopment of this blog and I am really happy to have found two people that share my passion for this kind of topic such as sustainability and the important role of the web to promote sustainability across the globe.
The time plan is to have the new blog ready in 6-8 weeks so stay tuned to see the new and totally unique new design of this blog.
Once we have finished this redevelopment we are looking to update the SustainabilityBlog.org by giving it a brand new look and add some nice new features.

All the best,
Fabian
