I think it is my duty as an American Citizen to take better care of myself. I hope that we do not accept "average" as "average" but hold ourselves and our peers to higher and higher standards of "wellness." Any thing I do for health, wellness today--exercise--massage, eating healthy not only feels better--it is cost effective. Eat, rest, exercise and you'll be surprised at how effective you become at work and at home. I don't want my children to have to pay for my bad habits.

While the ability to access a global customer base became available with the advent of technology, small business is handicapped by government regulation. When dealing with exporting there are many legal aspects to consider, requiring more resources than domestic business does. It's not just the cost of complying with the regulatory requirements. You have to find out what they are, familiarize yourself with them and make sure you are compliant. Since you're dealing with government regulations the penalty of not complying can be severe.

Is gravity good or bad? I think the answer is it depends. Gravity is--globalization is. I think that whether we like or not--the abilty for people to connect globally is here. The abilty for consumers to do research is here. We need to do a better job than ever ensuring that we are "relevant" to our customers, shareholders, and employees because the world is flat. One of the greatest professional perks for me last year was interviewing The World is Flat author Thomas Freidman. He said, "You cannot protect yourself to prosperity." I agree with this. If globalization is here, we must network more than ever, ensure that we understand our customer's long term needs better than ever and finally be clear about how we are "special"--In a global world with all these options, why should I be the choice? A great question for a company to ask. A great question for individuals within organizations to ask.

Participation in globalization for the small business community became possible with the evolution of technology. We are actually in a better position than the larger companies because it is easier for us to implement the necessary changes that are required to stay competitive. We also have access to a larger marketplace through the internet. This is great for the service and consulting sector. I am not sure how it plays out for the retail and manufacutring industry. Any thoughts?

I believe that Globalization is good for financial markets because there is access to external financing for corporate, national and subnational borrowers.
