Synopsis

WEALTH CREATING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES WHO ARE GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURS? There is a new breed of entrepreneurs today - the Global Entrepreneur. They are different from past entrepreneurs; they are completely wired for Information Age businesses, they know how to harness knowledge and technology, and frequently engage a network of global business partners to help operate their international ventures.
