What's affecting me, my clients, my colleagues and other global small business owners:

• Global expansion offers businesses leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) the potential for exponential global growth, enhanced market reach, and a broader customer base.
• Secretary Blinken announced New Zealand as the latest donor partner to join the Global Equality Fund (GEF), protecting human rights with a new international partner.
• Brands that are looking for long-term growth and success need to expand their brand internationally at some point.
• Quote of the week: “Like air and drinking water, being digital will be noticed only by its absence, not its presence." – Nicholas Negroponte
• Cultural differences can guide best practices when expanding internationally. It's up to company leaders to make sure their teams are well-prepared.
• Go global if you can beat local.
