The Benefit of Local
February 9th, 2009The world is seemingly getting bigger and bigger every day.
This leads us to think we should start our businesses going global day dot.
Yes you should.
But remember to get off the ground you need cashflow, and local business is the best business to get for a startup, you hold a location advantage over your competitor, which is gold especially for a new business with unproven success.
So exploit the local opportunity then use this core base of users to then go global.
Remember that: go local, think global.
