When investing, the most common term we hear is “diversify your portfolio” — the same can be said about businesses for entrepreneurs. Spread your business far and wide across markets for sustainability and growth.

Having worked with over 4,000 entrepreneurs over the last four years, we have been able to identify certain traits and characteristics that seem to survive the roller coaster ride of entrepreneurship.

• Working for passion, not for money — Most entrepreneurs we meet who are starting up are dead broke but they are happy and extremely passionate.
• Going against the grain — They are not afraid about being different and going against conventional wisdom. In fact, they think that not working for yourself and doing what you believe in is crazier that what they are attempting to do.
• Inherently curious and hungry – They love to share information, discuss ideas and find ways to collaborate.
• Hyperactive — They usually have their hands in many pots and are constantly juggling things/tasks/ideas/projects.

So, with the American economic slowdown, how will your business survive the constant looming threat of a complete meltdown and global competition?

With technology working as a conduit to bridge geographical and time barriers, have you considered other markets to tap into and generate revenue globally?

If you already have the WHAT (an existing business and want to tap into global markets), we have the HOW (to show you how to get your foot through the door.)

Generating Revenue Globally – Tapping Into Markets Abroad

In partnership with Deloitte and California-Spain Chamber of Commerce, K&L Gates cordially invites you to join us for this complimentary and valuable program on Tuesday, November 1st.
