For all those who are just about to Start any business - A few kind words
I have just joined this for no other reasons but to try my best to give you any advise possible with the best intentions.
To be in business is wonderful and to be independent is marvelous....
However, it does take some of the basic skills along with some very simple and yet fundamental principles...
The failure of Wall Street, Madoff and the Investment Banks had changed the American scenario as well as the global scenario. Yes, those ugly words of "Golden parachutes".. golden this and golden that is gone and is over ... Madoff 's Ponzi scheme is no less than all the others ..
The days of the prey /predator and Milken's infamous words of "The one who dies with most toys wins" was a flop and will be a flop ..
MBAs need to rethink to earn MBCs -- Master of Business Creations .. and start on your own and network -- Network is not pyramid .. and you don't ride on anyone's back to make money. Otherwise, it is just another monior Madoff scheme...
Get connected -- widening your network .. don't ever get that mental disease I named "Pissandmoanides" --- You won't have a boss to tell you want to do or what color ties to wear ..:) You are on your own .. Get connected and yes, get globalized and regionalized also :) Globalization is here to stay and globalizing oneself is not so difficult any more .. I can provide you the many coaching tips as do many others ... The world has been glogalized for the longest time . except that most of you will not remember - when US dominated the world and they called it "internationalize" many moons and years ago -- Except that is the "Americanization" of the globe ---- time to switch around and to have the world really engaged with less "fanfarr" and less "arrogance".
I will be happy to offer any tips and any guidance and even mentoring ..
Yes, a brief profile -- I am fluent in Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, English and a great deal of Italian .. Thanks to my Roman Catholic upbringing and good Latin and Greek roots.
I am a businessman, a consultant, a psychologist and a self appointed cultural Anthropologist :) So, give me a buzz here, facebook, linkedin... twitter (of which I am still learning)
One last quote .. very Chinese , not to be afraid of failure "Failure is the mother of all success".
