We took a needed break from looking at real estate today… and instead focused on what we’re really supposed to be doing here… building a spanish-language publishing business before our employer decides to give-up on us…
The business has a lot of moving parts, so there’s much to think about and strategize, especially when the country you’re working in is Argentina. And especially when you can barely speak any Castellano (what they call spanish round these parts)…
So, we have plenty of work ahead of us. But we think we’ve found a talented writer (completely by accident) who can help us with our editorial needs. And Buenos Aires is sort of a Silicone Valley of Latin America. There are tons of cheap web designers and coders available… so our website is coming along nicely.
Things have a way of coming together when you’re relaxed and persistent…
From our limited experience, being successful in business is as much about rolling with the punches as it is anything else…

Interesting. What type of publishing business are you building (if I may ask). Is it going to be strict an Argentine business or a branch of a US company? I’m curious, since I’ve been considering running my business from Buenos Aires as well (since my family lives there).

My follow-up post should answer a bit… It’s a branch of a US company. All you need is broadband and you can work from anywhere… We use Skype phones and talk internationally all the time for pennies…
