As you may already know, I live and work in Koh Samui, Thailand. After finishing off the coaching course with Alex Jeffreys I’ve been busy putting his blueprint for a successful online business in to practice. One thing I didn’t expect to end up marketing though was iso 9001 quality manuals!

Over here in Samui you meet lots of diverse and interesting people. I love the island life, you find a real sense of community as everybody tends to know or know someone who knows everybody else. Anyway, I was chatting to a friend of mine, Tony Connor, whilst watching the saturday full premiership program down the pub and we got talking about what we used to do back in England. It turns out that Tony is an expert (guru?) in iso 9001 quality control and has been working in the industry for the last 15 years. He also mentioned that he has been thinking about writing a bunch of iso 9001 compliant manuals that he feels would be invaluable to many companies in many different industries, he just didn’t know how he could go about profiting from them.

Now this is where the light bulb went on in my head and I saw the potential to market a high quality product, carrying a fairly high ticket price in a niche that I thought we could compete in well. We continued our discussion over the next few weeks and came to a business agreement we were both happy with. The website (ISO 9001 Manual) is almost finished now, and I’m looking forward to making some sales for us both.

The rest of my time has been taken up recently on another joint venture with 3 students from the Alex Jeffreys coaching course. This month myself, Garry Parkes, JT Martin and Gary Simpson will be launching our own JV giveaway event. I’ll be releasing more details about this closer to the launch date but we will be looking for contributors fairly soon so stay tuned.

Exciting times!
