She is also a very generous person with her knowledge and time, and we are fortunate to call her a friend."" - Phillip Campbell, cognitive scientist, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Brain Habits: The Science of Subconscious Success ""Trena Blair provides a detailed blueprint for leaders looking to expand their businesses globally.

She taps the experiences of entrepreneurs and founders - from industries as varied as digital marketing, financial services, transportation and medical appliances - who have made that leap, and shares them as insights that others can consider, follow or adapt to their own needs. The result is a rare look into how real companies have been successful, or pivoted, as they plan their overseas growth. Insights into five overseas markets go past the obvious national stereotypes to highlight the subtle nuances that make a difference: one size does not fit all. Have this book near at hand when planning how to make the first steps to becoming a global business."" - Alan Smith, Head of Strategic Business Communications, Digivizer ""Even if you're still early in your business lifecycle, these frameworks will be valuable in laying the right foundations upon which to build your global expansion strategy.
