Hello Entrepreneurs!
I hope that this note finds you in the best of spirit and health.
We've started a new book this month for the
TCB360 Book Club. September's book is
THE WORLD IS FLAT 3.0 by Thomas Friedman
The World Is Flat 3.0 is an updated edition of the international bestselling book. It is also the September TCB360 Book Club pick for great reason. "One mark of a great book is that it makes you see things in a new way, and Mr. Friedman certainly succeeds in that goal," wrote Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz.
For those of you know need some incentive to start reading, watch this video of Tom explaining 4 of the 11 key occurrences or influences that came together to "flatten the world". I watched the video and was both entertained and amazed.
The information found in this book reinforces the very real truth that in the 21st Century the race is not among countries or companies. The race really belongs to the individual. "Whatever a man thinketh, he can achieve." This is more true today that ever before. The book filled with countless examples of this, tells the story of a villager from Peru who exports Peruvian dishware to countries around the world and recently forged a relationship with a manufacturer in China to cut costs. Global commerce and trade among individuals is in FULL FORCE.
The book encourages entrepreneurs around the world to act immediately on their ideas because in today's flattened world, whatever can be done, will be done - if not by you then by your neighbor across the globe.
It is our hope at
TCB360 that this book will help you think about and act on the global possibilities for your business TODAY. And don't forget to let us know how the reading is going. I gurantee you it will be time well spent!
See you all loungin on the most beautiful beaches of the world very soon.
