What You Need To Know About Chinese Markets
"A very comprehensive and interesting read Elish, thanks for such an in-depth account of what was discussed at the talk you attended. From a personal level, I found the comparisons very interesting, and they really must also be considered from a business perspective. I agree mostly with your very last point - that we need to understand and connect more with the East (Far East). Frontiers are less barrier, borders are more visually decreasing, and travel makes is easier for us to experience other cultures on the ground, and appreciate the differences. We just need to get over ourselves first :)"8 Leadership & Management Lessons On The Starship Enterprise
"For someone who knows nothing about Star Trek, I admit I struggled with the post, but I adore analogies and metaphors :) (I did watch the series with Cpt Picard for a while) “To Boldly Go where No One has Gone Before” - this reminds me of the late Steve Jobs, as his reality distortion allowed him to imagine and believe the un-imaginable, and instill that belief in others. We all need a little bit of that to push ourselves Elish :)"5 Timeless Time Management Tips For Small Business – That You’ve Been Ignoring the Hell Out Of!
"Hi Arthur, A very interesting read, and I enjoyed your take on Time Management, that everyone has their own style, and of course, strategies only work if the goals are realistic :) "Prepare for failure, and learn to fail efficiently" - I would replace efficiently with effectively, as a personal preference, merely because if we are going to "fail" we may as well do it in a constructive manner where we can learn effectively. And use that learning for future reference. A great thought provoking post, thanks!"How Freelance Workers Can Help Your Business

Then an email and phonecalls and finally the meeting, whether offline or online to clinch the deal. Building on the relationship is so important, and they could end up benig a vital part of the "team". Good post Jonny."Can Zuckerberg Succeed Where Karl Marx Failed? Social, The Ultimate Disruptive Technology!
"I agree with your conclusion John and would add that Social Platforms are also a much more efficient delivery system for the delivery of information. It seems the "western " world is digressing by not communicating thier vote etc, and we better watch out! Because what humans are craving is information and knowledge, and the ability to have our say, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries, where the rate of smart phone and social platform signup is exploding. I find your last comment under MDEC Communication ironic, as these people(s) are indeed going to extremes to fight for their rights."Little Known Facts About Franchise Prices - And Why They Matter
"Very informative post there Warren. I have coached many business potentials and they always look at Franchising as an option. It begins as what they can often perceive as the "easy" option until they do the Math and realise it's not just a bit of money up front and a bit of commission/royalty payout, so it's good to see here a detailed overview, in plain speak, and black and white"Get Working On Your 'Digital Edge' To Excel Online
"Nice post Anton, I would add to #5 - Be valuable, authentically. I know that word is a real buzz word these days, but if your value is not genuine and meaningful, people will see through that, even on platforms like twitter. What would I consider that I haven't done before? #1 perhaps, Be An Evangelist, and having thought about it, I am involved with so many communities on 3 different platforms, I see this as very difficult for me."Subscribe
