Will be a quick post, but monumental for me. I’ve been blogging (i.e. complaining) about the the difficulties of winding down my first business, as a couple weeks ago, based on all the circumstances (“checkmate in USA operations”) as well as positive future in China social media and consulting, I MADE a decision to close it, that is what a …
Qualifying…Verifying, Focusing People in my Network. Job of Being a Connector?
I love networking, marketing, connecting. But lately, with this hyper-active networking throughout China and the world…I have been connecting some people who don’t click in the network. Some have kind of stretched the truth about who they are, their background. Others, maybe in financial distress, have refused to pay others I have connected. This happened also a few years ago, …
Fallen in Love with Social Media!
Seriously…anyone that knows me knows I’m a social media addict. When I started this blog in March 2007 the concept of Social Media as an industry and lifestyle didn’t really exist. While it wasn’t blogging, I first put this website online in April, 2000 – being ridiculed by my college fraternity brothers for having my own name as a website…. …
Everyone Pushing me to Sell USA Real Estate to Rich Chinese
As I continue to build up networks and host events, I am constantly pushed by companies to advertise to these members. Maybe this is a way I can “monetize” all this free work I have been doing. But its also somewhat of a distraction. Maybe its something I need to develop into a standard “reply” for those who are interested. …

But I have some good friends in Los Angeles, and instead of trying to set up tons of separate meetings, may as …
Going Through Important Transition, Hard to Wind Down my first Business
I hope these open blog posts help others get the courage to face themselves. I think it is one of the hardest things I have done, is to learn about who I truly am – accepting my weaknesses. Photo in today’s blog is my rather lower emotional photo….taken tonight at a local Chinese BBQ stand. I am trying my best …

blogging on the road again, business traveler, travel blogger
The longer I do business the more I realize I just have to accept that I will travel always, and instead of being like the majority of people here – I will have to learn how to work on the road. I am typing this today on my bluetooth keyboard, in the middle seat of a high speed train from …

Foreigners come to China for the first time normally based around a trade show. I took my first trip to China in 2007 to attend trade shows. I ended up only going to Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Shanghai trade fairs – not making it to Canton Fair that year (I didn’t realize how complicated it would be for me to …
Considering Creating a New Shenzhen, China Incubator
I remember reading an article when I was younger about Bill Gross and his idea factory….a place where all kinds of new ideas were dreamed up and built into a reality. I still vividly remember reading that business magazine article and getting excited about it. And many, many of my friends say I am destined to run some kind of …
