How big should your business be?
Many independent entrepreneurs are content to be one-person companies.

Building Windmills

Some boring times would be quite nice at the moment thank you! Anyway the quote was “When the wind blows there are those who build shelters and those who build windmills”

Tied Up and Gagged by China's New Labor Law
I feel the new Chinese labor law has us tied up and gagged all in the name of protecting "the employee".

Insights from a another sales effort in China
Forgetting Chinese are very different from ourselves, Americans attempt selling to Chinese as they do with other Americans.

Here is a story about a real-life sales situation in China, one that I hope will give you more insights to add to your quiver.
Just Go and Do It
Don't wait – initiate! That's the deeply embedded belief system of strong leaders.
