Great post. Thank you for sharing.
A stat not mentioned in the video clip is that global small businesses play a HUGE role in global trade. They typically generate 29 percent of the U.S. export sales in a given year, and in 2005, they accounted for nearly $300 billion of the $906 billion generated by all U.S. exporters.
Here's our mantra for next year ... "Get it straight in '08: Go Global!"
All the best,
Laurel
