Tag Archives: Screw it

Action-packed hot news!

It’s been a while since my previous email/blog update.

I’m very proud and delighted to say my new book Screw It, I’ll Take The Elevator is now published! The book covers the years 2000 to 2018. You can read extracts from the book here

I’ve uploaded a new short and funny video (just like me!) on the front page of my website.

There’s no doubt that ‘Stairs For Breakfast’ is a great book. However, I prefer Screw It, I’ll Take The Elevator because it’s sharper and funnier. I encourage everyone to purchase the new book. Not only because it’s excellent but also because it will help me with my finances!

Screw It, I’ll Take The Elevator has already got some 5-star reviews on Amazon, where it is available in Kindle format. if you prefer paperback books, you can buy it directly from me

On Saturday I did a book signing at the Holmbush Tesco superstore in Shoreham. It was really good and I’ll be there again this Saturday. Thank you Claire Hobson, Lisa Preston and Deano Pointer from the store for all your support. You are fantastic people. (I’ve always wanted a Saturday job at Tesco!)

On Saturday 18th August, I’m doing a book signing at the Scope shop, Chapel Road, Worthing.

In other news, I’ve extended the lease of (and remortgaged) one of BTL flats. It also involved raising a complaint about my old mortgage company with the Financial Ombudsman Service. Last year I applied to go onto another fixed rate but TMW/Nationwide didn’t process my application. The Ombudsman upheld my complaint and Nationwide have reimbursed the interest I overpaid. I found the lease extension and complaint simple because all it involved was liaising with people. Next year I’ll look at doing something with my other BTL flat.

As you may know, in September, I’m going to Spain to complete my ascension mastery course. I can’t wait! It’s amazing the impact ascension meditation is having. I feel content and relaxed, my walking and talking is easier, and I’m effortlessly helping people.

I know I can do anything (eg motivation speaking, more property, climb a mountain!). I’m happy with where I am at the moment!

I have been approached by Rob Pelling and Mark Newman, two local businessmen who over the last few years have completed various charitable challenges. They asked me if could assist me to walk up Mount Snowdon. I’m up for it! The 7km ascent is planned for September 2019 and is likely to take up to 14 days. Feel free to contact me if you’re interested in being involved with the expedition.

Here’s a press release I’ve recently put together.

Thank you for your support 🙂

Battery recharger needed to have new book printed!

It’s been a few months since my last email/blog update. I had an amazing time in Spain and now am half an Ascension meditation teacher! More on that to come soon.

For the 2.5 months I’ve been working long hours; finishing my second book, converting it into book format, making videos and updating my website:

This video is on the front page of my website.

Thank you very much to the people who have already pre-ordered my 2nd book ‘Screw It, I’ll Take The Elevator’. I am planning to publish it on 15th April 2018, as I need more pre-orders to have the book printed. You can order my books here and now http://stairsforbreakfast.com/buy-now

People say Stairs For Breakfast is very funny however my second book is even funnier! It covers October 2000 to April 2017. If you’ve met me over the last few years you’re probably in the elevator!

Having worked so hard I am very proud of my books and everything I have achieved. Thank you for reading this and for helping to get my second book published.

Crowdfunding – ‘Screw it, I’ll get the elevator!’

It’s been a busy month, Maggie and I finished the first revision of, ‘Screw it, I’ll take the elevator’ and my friend Roy Stannard has edited the manuscript.

I am proud to announce that we have set up this Crowdfunder page, which you can access via: www.ukpatrick.com in order to cover the costs of getting my second book published. My goal is to obtain 1,000 pre-orders in the next six months.

The 2 ½ minute video on my Crowdfunder page took two hours to make! Rather than make unscripted videos we decided to script this one and I memorised each line and tried speaking as clearly as I can. This was both a physically and mentally challenging task and took great concentration and effort but the video was more structured and a great success!

Video imgMy plan over the next six months is to promote my new book on social media by providing extracts of the book and making videos.

Over the last three months Maggie and I have contacted numerous organisations in an attempt to arrange a speaking event where I could tell people about my books and my life and the general feedback is, ‘Who is Patrick Souiljaert?’, having said that we have been successful in arranging a meeting and attending training in London with Kaleidoscope Investments, which could lead to a successful relationship and speaking opportunities.

If you have any good ideas on how I can promote my books and myself, I welcome your suggestions.

Part of my journey includes property investment and finding rent to rent properties. When Maggie and I visited estate agents in Shoreham a few weeks ago, as I walked into one estate agent I didn’t realise that the chair I was about to sit on had wheels and I nearly fell on to the floor! Whilst I saw the funny side of this, it startled the estate agent. However it hasn’t put me off going to see agents! We have been to see one property which looks really good but as it has been on the market for three months, I am going to go back and see the agent about the rental price.

I have never worked so hard as I have done in the last seven years and very proud of what I have achieved. It continues to be a great journey and I cannot fail because I will never give up!
