Today’s theme: Thinking Big.

Topic one. Global Business.

A few months ago, we ran a “The World Is Flat” series showing the ways in which businesses – both big and small – brought themselves to other parts of the world and vice versa as a tactic for scaling their business. Here are links to this very popular “The World Is Flat” series.

• 4. How Generation Y is Going Global

THINK BIG:

What young entrepreneur are going global that you know? Tell us about them, or about your own plans.

Topic two: Think Like A Millionaire.

Many elite entrepreneur groups in this country, and globally, have access to the best speakers and tools. Wouldn’t you like in? All of these gurus have full-blown books, seminars, and consulting services. These blog posts are just a tip of the ice berg to give you a “fly on the wall” peek on what you’ll get should you be granted admission to one of these elite entrepreneur organizations some day, or – even easier – simply pick up one of their books to get started.
