Hello to all.

My name is Paolo Modenese, I'm an italo-ecuadorian 27 year old architect and I have been working on my first fastlane for almost 2 years (in Ecuador).

My fastlane is a book: its the first practical guide for Ecuadorian site managers. I saw potential in the idea and it met most of the 5 commandments (except Scale cause its only for Ecuador). If you are interested in checking it out, the webpage is www.manualdeObra.com

Anyway, the execution was quite good and in less than a year the business has given me these numbers:
- Total costs (printing, marketing, edition): 4700 USD
- Total sponsorship revenue: 6000 USD
- Total sales revenue: 18000 USD
- Total annual profit: 19300 USD

I made the book in such a way that you could print a new edition every year. So potentially, this revenue could be reached each year. Now, the thing is that this business was just a test, to see if i could build a business from scratch and make it profitable. Now I know I can, and I'm ready to start working on THE fastlane that will make me wealthy. So I want to sell the authorship and publishing rights to any company that can be interested in buying it.

The business should be worth:
- Annual profit (19300) x ind. multiplier (3) + fixed costs for making the book (14500) = 72400 USD

So, this is my question: How do I go about making that offer? Do I just mail all companies that might be interested showing them the impact the book has had and the numbers? How do I create a DEMAND for my book... I think that is the crucial question...

Thank you all in advance.

Kind regards,

Paolo
