Business Case Study on Internationalisation

May 4, 2016 11:45 am Published by Leave your thoughts So you've decided to go international with your business.

A billionaire’s view of keeping it simple!

April 21, 2016 1:17 pm Published by 7 Comments Keep it simple! One thing I have been thinking about a lot, is how complicated your brain can make things. If you spend too much time thinking and analyzing a task you will never get it done. There is even a complex word for it: Procrastination, which must be the opposite of keeping it simple.
