Steven Haggerty

Hello everyone!

As you can see in the post below this, I haven’t posted on my own blog since january 2010! I feel pretty bad about the lack of time I spend on my own blog so this year I have set myself a “goal” to use this site more often to tell you about my projects, personal life and just have a natter away!

So a lot has changed since 2010! I sold my Hosting company to a data centre company I also have stopped taking on new website design clients for the moment. I did this because I wanted to take a few months off to explore different things in the world, I spent 10 months working aboard a yacht here in France which was great experience. It showed me how to do a lot of things, and on some level it showed me what I can achieve if I set my mind to something. However, it also proved to me what I already knew and that is that I am and always will be an Entrepreneur. I found that working on the boat got a boring! I like to have exciting things to work on and see my own hard work pay off with new and happy clients! So thats why I left the boat and started some new projects!

What am I doing now? I am currently setting up two new projects in the South of France. One being an events company offering clubs/bars services to bring in more clients and i will also be offering companies services such as product launches and so forth. This is a extremely exciting project for me as I planning on taking the “Salut Brand” to the offline market so to speak, as you are aware most of my companies have all been web based. I am planning on changing this, still keeping web based ones. But slowly getting more into the “high street” area. Its good for businesses to interact with people, whether they are your clients or not it will all help in the long run to maximise your brand name and the companies figures.

My second project I am doing will be a Marketing company, offering businesses in the local area managed social accounts such as twitter, Facebook etc. This will allow them to focus on the business side of things and let us handle the online marketing and “reaching” out to the new world of social media. Of course we will still be offering other services to them such as offline marketing ideas. Its all very exciting but as with any new project I can’t say too much!

Lastly I am going to start to write for some online blogs, the first being “Raising CEO kids” some of you may remember the interview they did on me a few years back, which i am now in there book as well (yay!). Anyway Sarah Cook (the founder) has allowed me to become a contributor on the site, which i am extremely happy about. I just need to get my first article underway!

Well that pretty much sums up everything I wanted to tell you for now…. so check back soon

Well i haven’t updated this in a while. Which i apologies to all my readers for.

So 2010 has been a very good year so far, business has been “booming” but thats mainly because i have been working 100% harder than last year.  I have been getting more website design work along with some more hosting clinets. So all in all i have to say that i am pretty happy with business life right now.

Twitter has been a huge help, i have even got two interviews off it. One for a blog called Startat10 ( http://startat10.com/interview-with-steven-haggerty-founder-of-salut-world/ ) the second of the two interviews is not online yet, however once it is i will post the link to it here. This is all very exciting for me as i have always wanted to gain more attention for the “Salut” name. By doing these interviews i am building up the name,  i hope some more interviews or similar media items come by my way.

As i stated in my previous entry Salut Hosting is up and running, i am currently focusing on gaining more customers before i expand the “Salut” name any further. However hopefully this summer i might have a few more projects to do with the “salut” brand name.

I have also teamed up with a company in the Caribbean who currently do not offer website design with there company so i will be doing that for them which is great as it means both our companies will expand with the help of each other. Perhaps i should try and get a holiday out of it? :p

We also have an advert on a number of blog sites and for this we had to create a striking logo for Salut World. So below is the image we used. (just without the text)

Image used for advertising purposes

Well i think that is all i shall write for now. I will be trying to blog more often instead of every 3 months like it has been.

Help me spread the world about Salut World as much as you can.

Thanks for reading!! Feel free to get in touch

Dicussing my latest projects and just the business world. I am not 100 percent sure i will do this but i may play around with some things and see what i come up with.

I recently watched a show called, The Secret Millionaire. It is the UK version. I have to say that this is such an inspiration program for me. It shows me how my life could end up, who knows. The people who enter it are usually just “normal” people having started at a young age and worked had for there money.  If i had the option to be given £100,000 right now or work hard for a year and earn it myself i would choose the second option. This is because when you earn your own money you get a sense of independence and you feel proud seeing that money in your hand/bank.

I get inspired easily, from day-to-day things or films, TV shows and friends. This i think is what keeps me on track. You have to be inspired to be someone or do something.

Someone told me today that they think that schools should see that not everyone wants to do math or not everyone is going to do great in the academic world. I think schools should continue what they are doing but also start to teach other skills that are to do with life. That help you build friend ships, start businesses etc. It will help the children of tomorrow become successful in whatever they do.

I am sitting here at 01:45am with a smile on my face because i know that i am inspired to do something and be someone. Its my dream to be a success, but is it not everyone’s?

Thanks for reading this random post

Hello all,

Sorry i havent posted anything in a while ive been pretty busy.

So a few things have changed since my last post.

My investor for salut tech has pulled out.  However, i am actually glad this has happened as it has made me re-look at what i can do with Salut Tech and ive decided that it wont be an online shop or at least not selling what it was going to sell. Also this means i can focus on Salut Hosting and Salut Designs.  Perhaps in 6-8 months i wont need to find an investor.

Twitter, I have no got twitter for Salut Hosting. Also i am now on LinkedIn http://bit.ly/WOqOw Pass it around.

I think thats all really. Oh and i have Re-designed Salut Designs also finished the content on Salut Hosting i now just have to link it up with the server control panels etc.

I am currently trying to find ways i can promote myself. Harder than it sounds.

Thanks all

Steve

Hey Hey Hey Everyone

So i have finally made a design for Salut Hosting all i have to do now is add content and then link it up with everything i need such as payment system etc. I will be working on that this week.

I am aiming to get my business plan for Salut Tech finished by october then sent off to the investor so he can have a look and tell  me what to change/add and so forth.

I have a website job at the moment for a sushi company which are expanding fast. I had difficulty with it as they want CMS and some CMS programs are just rubbish to use. Joomla was going to be my first choice but i really dis-like it because of the complex way. I love wordpress but couldn’t use it for this site. I have found on called Drupal and so far i like it. I will be doing the design for the site once they send me there logo and what not. I shall post the website here once finished so if you live in france you should check it out because they do do good sushi.

I am starting a sideline project that will be launched in the UK. It is basically an online magazine. But  more information to come soon
If you think you can help me in any way such as advertising, contacts or even links to good sites. Feel free to email me

Thanks everyone
