Australia Day 2008

Watching the womens final of the Australian Open having a few beers and a BBQ is a great way to spend Australia Day.

Over the last few days I have been assessing the direction of the company and along with the revised IM I have decided to explore merging the two existing sites navsports.com and navsports.com.au the former being the club directory and the latter being the sports news aggregator. I will be looking to implement a few features that should keep people coming back time and time again.

The release of a new media release through the AAP network has been well received with many news outlets picking up the release.

New member registrations are flowing in steadily and the feed back I am receiving is extremely encouraging.

Well my steak is ready so by for now.

So much to do

Gee I cannot wait to get venture capital, there is so much to do I get a headache just thinking of it.

From researching market sizes to editing the navsports tv show to constantly trying to improve the functionality of the websites and much much more its driving me crazy.

The number one priority is to get funding, indepth market analysis and finachial forecasting is what I am working on at this moment and will probably take me a few weeks.

Ok back to work for me...

2008 the beginning of something special

Hello everyone as my first blog for 2008 I would like to wish everyone a great 2008.

My last blog mentioned the birth of my my first child Riley, Michelle and I are so blessed its hard to describe. If the adventures of sports entreprenuer does not quite work out the way I hope it will then I take solice in knowing that my greatest achievement is my beautiful son.

I have to build a business for Riley to work in one day so I better turn the attention back to what this blog is really for, talking about the trials and tribulations of building the worlds best sports promotion company.

We, that is Matthew, Craig, Derek and Kristen have finally finished shooting the first episode of Navsports Tv for Sydney`s local community channel. The show is about promoting grass root sports and taking the piss out of current hot topics in sport.

You know the hardest thing is editing the first episode, we have plenty of footage but having never edited a tv show before and then coming up with something good is a hard task.

Something funny I said to the boys was what do you expect for a budget of $7.50 (thats what 3 bottles of water cost that I bought for the guys when shooting the show).

Well the community channel gave me good feedback so now I am re-editing the show, I am confident that the show will work and will help drive up our memebers on the site.

It's back to editing for me so bye for now. Catch ya next week as I hope to make these blogs a weekly occurance.
