Welcome to the October 23, 2007 edition #25 of the
Carnival Of Small Business Issues.
My name is John and I am your host. As you can see I have branded this edition as
“The Canarian Edition”, because that's from where it originates today — from the beautiful island with eternal spring: Tenerife/Spain. Although the European Union reaches that far to the Southwest politically, I consider myself breathing, living and working in Africa.
Some say that you can spot the African coast about 270 kilometers in Southeast direction from the peak of Mount Teide (some 3850 meters above sea level) on clear days. I did not check, if this is actually possible, but whenever I had climbed up there it was too humid for sure.
Anyway, Africa has become the third continent that I am living on. It definitely helps you to grow as person and in business, when you settle down on quite different places for a while, meet different people and cultures. It helps you to
“clear” your mind and vision from all those distraction and obligations that you have been told they were important, but they are not.
Lets stop the small talk and get into todays collection of articles right away.
