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

• China exports:  growing brand recognition first locally (webinar 7/13; no charge).
• Learn why it's important to work your website to do business with the world.
• Why you have to be global in UT.
• All the crazy things going on at Facebook, including whether Zuckerberg is a lizard, Oculus and Jerry Seinfeld.
• Alibaba's Jack Ma wants to establish an Electronic World Trade Platform (e-WTP) for global entrepreneurs but before he does that maybe he should stop commenting that his site's counterfeit products are often better quality than the originals.
• The real (ethical and moral) price we pay for cheap jeans.
