Nobody really cares what you are doing!

I am a new business owner and would love any tips on how to promote my business. I have read Tim’s book and have already gotten a bunch of awesome ideas, I’ve got to say that purchasing it was one of the best investments I’ve ever made.
I’ve been a personal trainer in Canada for almost a decade and moved to Brazil a year ago. I’m living in a small town where my dad and I opened an English school that has been steadily growing in a short period of time. Now that I have helped my dad get things started, I want to continue to follow my passion and take my services to Rio. There is a huge potential for both personal training clients as well as clients who need to learn English (especially with the World Cup and Olympics being hosted in the city within the next couple of years.) I’ve also noticed that Brazilians pay a ton of money to learn English in the most ineffective way possible. They can do up to 6 years of schooling and graduate without knowing how to speak the language at all! The focus is grammar and little emphasis is done on conversational English. I’ve been fortunate enough to find a methodology that has been proven to work and hope to use it in Rio and offer a service where results are actually guaranteed.
Once I get to Rio, I see endless possibilities on what my company can offer: English in company, personal training in English, Fitness classes for foreigners in hotels, etc.
I was wondering more in terms of marketing since I don’t know too many people in the city and have extremely limited funds to spend on advertising.
Any help would be extremely appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
Mariana

Another not-to-do: Do not keep talking about what someone did to you that you didn’t like. Either ask for what you want, set a boundary or let it go. This will save time and make you happier.
