In the last four years I have traveled enough so I can depict how you all are doing in Europe and North America, how is it going on with your start-up or how you are sustaining your business and on what and on whom you are counting on, more if you are counting on social media’s likes in your business or not and if you are counting at all on social media for your business.

Some of my traveling conclusions were the ones from below and filled with some comments on the evaluation on www.spirit-a-porter.com‘a selling value:

• All the start-ups based in their own country have greater chances to access investors, but also for accessing  them you have to be connected to the right persons and of course the social media comes in their analysis fast and the rest of the title keywords are just disappearing because they are connected to the right persons who are coming with these keywords in their portfolio, start-ups funding, connections, partners, trusting, innovations, diversity of the markets…

• All the rest of the start-ups are not counting on social media at all in the first years, except the Romanians and probably others as them that I didn’t identified, and others are not counting at all on social media.

• I don’t like China for their low price branding, although I am enjoying some of their low prices, but I love China because of all their innovations that are reaching us, humans, people in our lives, unlike many of the hundreds of scams pretending to be innovators but actually they are only money rolling! I also like China and Chinese because they are not counting on social media at all at first but on their own applications to get them there, like a vehicle.

• Unlike China, Spanish are not counting at all on social media for their small businesses but their traveling industry is sustaining their businesses that good cause they just don’t need more!  More their authority is based so much on tradition well preserved that I really loved their inner and their tradition’s strength that made them so good that the fact that they had 1 year of no government have had no effect on their industry, maybe because all their businesses are not that much based on image that is involved in politics too as in social media, they just have it naturally! 🙂 ! As well, Italy! But Italy seemed to have a different history with more corruption among themselves while Spain has the pirate style with the outsiders and they are fighting mainly politically between themselves!

• I am addicted to diversity and to innovation of the products and mainly if these are reaching all of us! In this direction I love Germany and France, I loved to be completely lost in so many types of cheese and cheese 🙂 , it was surprising for me how many cheese types Germany has too! I just love their culture both of the countries, of diversity and of preserving the small producers who are getting all this diversity of the products on the market! From this perspective I am more Pro Europe and China than Pro North America!

• Although I don’t like a culture that is based on guns violence problem solving, nor a money driven culture, I really appreciate the strength of the ones who could instill in a culture the money as a culture and I am appreciating North America for their money making capacity, not necessarily of the way they are doing it!

• I love the freedom and being aware of their different degrees in all the categories of our lives where we try to apply it as well as the countries systems are trying too, I am also PRO Europe more than Pro North America, which is pretending to give freedom but they have so many instruments of surveillance that I am about to write their short version of their applications T&C (kidding, only if they are paying me too, that’s their culture 🙂 ) so I can easily access one application without reading for a week before submitting or not to the sharing of my personal info! I also don’t like some European countries which are protecting my privacy from the outsiders or they are protecting us of terrorism by taking the control over exactly what they are trying to protect, our lives, our privacy, like the countries which are requiring the registration of your personal data for a prepay sim card for your phone! So how to trust anymore in the systems? How to not combine tradition with the innovation and how not to prefer a small business than a big one who is taking over the control over your all life, how, you all big guys who are trying to send me temptations like selling my website, how?

You need to be better than 100k with a website full of brand authority in order to really put me to even think of a deal, otherwise, sooner than later I am going to reach in money value anyway the 100k. 🙂 But I will always treasure the evaluation moment of the 100k of my website and many thanks for that!

The cultural diversity joke:

An American man is strolling along the beach of Lake Victoria. Along the way he sees a Ugandan man sleeping under a tree. He ignores him and continues with his walk.

The next day when the American goes to the beach he again sees the same man still sleeping under the same tree.

So the American asks him “Hey, why don’t you get up and do some work for a change. ”.

The Ugandan man lazily replies “What work?”

The American says “Why don’t your boat and go catch some fish.”

The Ugandan asks “ Why should I catch fish?”

“Well, to earn money” the American replies.

The Ugandan again asks “ And what would I do with the money?”

To this once again the American replied “ With the money you can buy a bigger boat”

“And what would i do with the bigger boat? ” the Ugandan asked.

To this the American once again irritably replied “You catch more fish and earn more money!”

The Ugandan once again asks with the same cool as before “And what do with more money?”

The American replies “Well with the extra money you can finally live a comfortable life and relax”

The replied with a wide grin on his face “What do you think I am doing right now?”

The American is left speechless by the Ugandan’s response and the Ugandan continues relaxing under the sun.
