Here are the results of my LIVE small business online community forum hosted by Bank of America on "Cost Effective Strategies to Go Global."

Please join us LIVE online Thursday, June 18 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. EST at Bank of America's Small Business Community where I will be covering:

Cost Effective Strategies to Go Global

My version of it is: Going global on the cheap (or shoestring). This is my second event with BofA so I am thrilled to be back in the saddle again with all of you!

Some of the questions I hope to address are:

• How do you leverage social media and networking platforms to grow a business globally?
• What's the most effective way to hire and maintain (nurture) independent contractors worldwide while building a global empire during a tough economic time?
• Is Twitter important? Can it help reach a global audience? If so, what should you be doing to tap into it?
• What are some key elements involved to run a fit-for-fast-growth type of global small business?
• Where do you turn to find out if an overseas market is ripe for your type of product or service offering?

So whether you are thinking of taking your business global or are already crossing borders, please join us and feel free to start asking your questions NOW to ensure I get to them! Look forward to connecting with you there.

Please join me tomorrow, March 24, from 1:00-2:00 p.m. CDT for an open, online global small business "live" forum, on Going Global With Your Business.

I will address questions like:

• What is the single biggest stumbling block to taking a business global?
• How do I find the right international partners?
• Why should I go global?
• How do I evaluate the benefits and risks with expanding my business abroad?
• What advice would you offer to those of us considering expanding our business internationally?

My intent is to empower you to take that first dramatic step toward starting your own business and taking it global from the get-go. And we hope to make going global easy.

Register (complimentary) here and post your questions now or "live" during the event.

Hope to connect with you there. Look forward to it!
