Success in any language is still just that: SUCCESS! It's key that we all remember as marketers and world citizens alike, not to forget that today, more than ever, industries and markets are becoming global.
I was actually just at the bank today here in South Korea and the teller was showing me graphs and projections about the performance of Bank of America and how it has affected the banking industry in South Korea. For those of you not familiar, South Korea is a tiny peninsula of land with one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
Today, more than ever, as most the non-English speaking countries of the world struggle to learn the language of business, it's important for us westerners/native English speakers to do our part in reaching out as well.
As our international community of entrepreneurs continues to expand, it's imperative that our focus widens to include all nations- fortunate and not alike. For if we don't, the swift hand of innovation always doubles back. Our charge as marketers is greater than just increasing our down-lines; it is essentially threading nations together under one unified goal: Success.
Hope to see you all at the top!

It's Not the Start That Counts!
We have often heard the old adage, don't start what you can't finish. Yet, how many of us actually take it to heart?
True enough, as entrepreneurs and leaders around the globe, we are sometimes forced to throw ourselves in the forefront, and consequently take a few more shots than most. We see and experience many difficulties that our co-horts who have chosen to stay in the background will never face, because we have chosen to stand up, stand out, and let our voices be heard.
However, is this price not worth the reward? As leaders, we are forced through said trials to be refined and consequently, we bring forth the best in ourselves that many of us didn't even know existed . This process polishes us and enriches our lives in every way- all while rewarding us financially.
It's common knowledge in this industry that one's income grows, following their personal development. Personal growth and development determine whether or not we will heed the call to action, persevere during the toughest of times, and ultimately, finish what we have started.
In this industry today, there is so much emphasis on "Getting Started", when it's the finishing part where over 80% FAIL. Are you a true leader who is doing what it takes every day to finish the race? Because it doesn't matter where you start; it's where you finish that warrants the victory.
Hope to see you to the top!
