Do you have a great import export business idea but don't know where to start?

Import Export Coach Ezine by Jennifer Henczel ISSN 1916-2332 International Trade Education Many entrepreneurs who want to see their import export business ideas come to life ask me: Where do I start? Learn the import export basics, but don't let yourself get too bogged down. As I discuss in my popular import export workshops, there are 7 main areas to learn about: Product or Service Trade Barriers Market Research International Marketing Logistics Legal Issues Financial Aspects Keep in mind, that international trade is not a light or quick subject to learn. It's not something you can learn completely in one 4 hour session. However, I have created a step-by-step online import export workshop for my clients and workshop participants that will help get you started. The more education you can get the better, whether it's a workshop in your community or a formal degree, every bit of information. However, no matter how much education you have, you still have to put in a substantial amount of research time into your venture. "Research" can sometimes be an intimidating word. Really, it just means making a lot of phone calls, doing searches online, and making the right contacts. In addition, unless you are on you way to getting a degree or extensive education in the field, then the best thing to do is to hire an international trade consultant who does have the education and experience to assist you. Having knowledgeable input will dramatically increase your chances of success. As I said earlier, you should gain a basic understanding of import export, but you must rely on experts around you to provide the needed information to make important decisions. My experience holding public import export workshops and working with thousands of entrepreneurs around the world, has lead me to understand that most start-up companies cannot afford the expensive fees of a consultant. That is why I created affordable options for my clients, participants, and website visitors. On my Import Export Tools page, you can find all the low cost options I wrote to help entrepreneurs like yourself: Remember, education is the key to freedom and learning is a life-long journey. Until next week, all the best to you in your business venture!
