When we hear or read about globalization, we often think of medium to large companies that have the right products and financial resources to either export, set up factories in foreign countries, or hire salespeople or outsourced workers overseas.

As “micro entrepreneurs” who own small businesses with 0 to 10 employees, we may not think globalization has much to offer us.


Micro Entrepreneurs need to go GLOBAL & Europe

But if that’s what you think, you’re missing a golden opportunity and an emerging trend. Although you may not be set up to export large quantities of products, you can export knowledge. No matter what business you’re in, you undoubtedly have some level or expertise that’s of interest to others. And the internet is the tool you can use to sell that expertise to a global market.

When I started my small business growth consulting and coaching practice, the internet was just catching on as a business tool. Now of course, it’s indispensable. Although my practice is still largely focused on the Triangle, I have clients and subscribers from all over the US and the world, especially Europe, the UK, New Zealand and Australia.

Technology has allowed me to go global. You need some recommendations ?
