Dear ,
I just received a request for a referral:
Someone wants to start a beverage business and is wondering if we knew of any Coptic herb distributors in Egypt.
It's definitely not your run of the mill referral request.
If you know of anyone who fits the bill, please email me at: copticchamber@gmail.com. Thank you!
Also, Here Is Some Great Advice from Several Top Business People:
1."All business is personal… Make your friends before you need them." — Robert L. Johnson, Co-Founder, BET
2. "The first thing that you can do with social media is finding out and understand why people like or dislike … You actually get to see the reality of what people think about you." — Daymond John, Founder, FUBU
3. "Discipline is not a dirty word. There is far more freedom and opportunity for creativity and success in enjoying
discipline. Years ago, someone I very much respect told me the reason they were successful is that they embraced doing what other people resent or are reluctant to do." — Janice Bryant Howroyd, Founder, The ActOne Group
4. "To have a successful career, you have to approach it as an entrepreneur, even if you are working for
someone else. Your career is your own private business. You have to market yourself and your abilities and knowledge just as you would a product or service." — Earl G. Graves Sr., Founder, Black Enterprise Magazine
5. "Not to let anyone convince you that your dream, your vision to be an entrepreneur is something that you shouldn't
do. What often happens is that people who are well-meaning, who really care for us are afraid for us and talk us out of it." — Cathy Hughes, Founder, Radio One
6. "Nobody talks about entrepreneurship as survival, but that’s exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking.
Running that first shop taught me business is not financial science. It’s about trading — buying and selling." — Anita Roddick, Founder, The Body Shop
7. "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." — Richard Branson, Founder, Virgin
Group
8. "People want to do business with someone they like. If people like you, they're going to want to do business with
you." — Barbara Corcoran, Founder, The Corcoran Group
9. "I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that's how you grow. When there's that moment of
'Wow, I'm not really sure I can do this,' and you push through those moments, that's when you have a breakthrough." — Marissa Mayer, Founder, Sunshine Contact

Until next time...
