22. Be very pragmatic

In some markets it could be a joint venture, in others it could be a partnership with a large player, and other places just creating your own team works

19. Create an international reseller program

18. Never trust that if the partner is large your service will be a success

International starts the first day you launch the company. Having members from all around the World will give you different perspective and different uses of your own product.

9. Make a site that is language ready day one, even if you launch in English

More non-English content is posted every day on the web than in English. It is ok if you localize when you have built the product, but at least make it very easy to do by separating the language text files of the interface. Obvious? Yes. Do not forget that many languages have words much longer than english words and they tend to break the interface, take Finnish or German and you will see what I mean.

8. Protect your brand Worldwide

3. Create an original product: new and different

• Do something for someone else and expect nothing in return. This will help boost your “feel good” endorphins! 

• Prioritize your time by rating tasks in the order of importance and urgency then direct additional time to activities that are most meaningful to you.


• Deal with procrastination by using a day planner, breaking large projects into smaller ones, and setting short-term deadlines.


• Keep a record of how you spend your time, including work, family, and leisure and make adjustments accordingly.


• Save time by focusing, concentrating, and realizing when it’s time to delegate responsibilities to others. 


• Don’t over or under commit yourself or commit to anything that’s not important to you.
