New Business

I’m usually working in cafeterias. That’s where I feel I’m most motivated to work and have the least distractions. Today, while doing my regular work with my again a journalist approached me.

It turned out he was writing an article to a local business newspaper about people working in cafeterias (not as employees but people using the cafeterias as their office), about what they are doing there, about how the workers of the pubs, bars and cafeterias think about it and so on. Well, he was glad to find me, thanks to who I was – not a corporate worker working in some big company, but an entrepreneur working for himself. I was exactly what he was looking for. And as it turned out he hadn’t got too much information before getting to me.

I have been a so-said cafeteria worker with my laptop for years already and had lots of information to give him. Which I did. But the longest part of the conversation was about my projects. Which was completely out of the main idea of his intended article. He was hungry. He wanted a story and he felt he could get one from me.

I don’t know yet what the article will look like, I don’t know what the article will look like after his editors have gone through it, but it was really good to see a hungry journalist for a business newspaper who was working as a freelance writer for them. And man, he was hungry.

And it all left me the impression I had had all the time – contact the right journalist and you can sell your story very easily. And that knowledge, that confirmation of my already existing knowledge is good as I will use it in promoting my two big upcoming projects.
