On Words and Business

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of hearing the U.S. Ambassador to Poland speak at a luncheon. He discussed U.S.-Poland relations as well as the business climate there. The ultimate purpose was to entice companies to do business in Poland. A member of the mission sat at each table, so everyone got a chance to meet someone up close and personal. I sat with a former Minister of Finance and learned a lot about Poland and business there.

It started me thinking…as a small business (the smallest out there, a one-person shop) could I ever expand internationally? Could I ever offer my services abroad? I’m a writer and I have a few ideas about how I might be able to do this, but they need much more fleshing out.

So I was pleased to find on MarketingProfs an article about global trends for small businesses. It’s all part of an interesting package that I’m starting to explore. With the copious free time that all you small business owners and solo practioners out there know I have!

Anyone else out there spreading their small business beyond your own national borders? How’s it going?!
