Recently I’ve decided to narrow the focus of my blog towards Entrepreneurship and to strive to add as much value possible to the ones aiming to have their own business or taking the existing one to the next level. One of the key issues for the local business these days is how to add new strings of income or even starting new ventures by exporting and/or importing.
Of course, imports and exports has to start with the basics and it is mandatory to have and master the newest information to get started properly.
Of course, there are hundreds and thousands of resources available online and also I recommend some academic stuff like a master or even an MBA but these are not mandatory. What is important is to gather the correct knowledge, apply and update it. I’ve stumbled two weeks ago upon a new guide called “20 Golden Keys to Going Global”which is a practical guide entitled for every entrepreneur who wants to start an import export business and business owners who want to expand into new markets.

Am facut prima tranzactie imobiliara in 1999 cand am achizitionat pentru mine o casa pe care am gasit-o intr-un anunt dintr-un ziar. Imi amintesc de parca ieri s-a intamplat: am sunat la o agentie, am aflat ca proprietatea era una pe langa care trecusem de zeci de ori dar nu stiam ca este de vanzare si tin minte ca la momentul respectiv am facut un efort mental destul de mare sa accept comisionul care mi s-a cerut. La momentul respectiv agentul care mi-a vandut-o nu cunostea proprietatea, a trebuit sa descurc singur anumite ite si daca stau bine sa ma gandesc nu am gasit valoare adaugata in serviciile care mi-au fost prestate. Mai tarziu, la inceputul lui 2007 am avut ocazia sa colaborez timp de un an si jumatate cu Euroest pe un contract de business development si am invatat de la un maestru – Dragos Dragoteanu ce inseamna de fapt business-ul unei agentii imobiliare.
Ce m-a socat la momentul respectiv era ca eu cautam sa implementez ideea de colaborare intre agentii imobiliari, asa cum citisem in cartile de afara si ma loveam de comportamente de tip “hiena” unde fiecare deal era intens disputat, adesea fara nici un fel de scrupule. Atunci am aflat de fapt ca lucrurile pot sa stea si asa. La momentul respectiv imi placea programul de lucru pe care il aveau investitorii israelieni – de luni pana joi la Bucuresti si de vineri pana duminica in Israel. In birourile lor din Bucuresti vinerea de obicei batea vantul dar profiturile pe care le facusera in acei ani probabil ca le permitea sa treaca asta cu vederea. Atunci am invatat principii si notiuni de genul “imobiliare se fac si in vreme de razboi”, “locatie, locatie, locatie”, “care sunt semnalele de cumparare ale unui client care viziteaza o proprietate”, “turism imobiliar”, “calificarea unui client” si altele.

De fiecare data cand ajung in Cartierul Greenfield din Baneasa si merg des in ultima vreme am un deja-vu cu minunata perioada din copilarie cand imi vizitam bunicii la Predeal si savuram aerul de munte. Aerul este diferit de restul Bucurestiului – pot confirma. Am zis initial ca ma sugestionez sa il simt altfel dar dupa incercari repetate m-am convins ca e “for real”.

Established in 2008, Live and Invest Overseas is the vision of Publisher Kathleen Peddicord. I am proud to be among the contributors to her online venture just before the launch in 2008 and you can see the full list of experts and contributors here. I am inspired by the international real estate and Live and Invest Overseas was one of the reasons why I invested recently in developing my real estate agency as aRE/MAX franchise.
Kathleen Peddicord has covered the live and invest overseas beat for more than 25 years and is considered the world’s foremost authority on overseas retirement. She has traveled to more than 50 countries, invested in real estate in 17, established businesses in 7, renovated historic properties in 6, and educated her children in 4.
Kathleen has moved children, staff, enterprises, household goods, and pets across three continents, from the East Coast of the United States to Waterford, Ireland…then to Paris, France…and, most recently, to Panama City, where she, her husband Lief Simon, and their young son currently make their home and base their Live and Invest Overseas business.
Kathleen writes a weekly retire-overseas blog for U.S. News & World Reports and is regularly quoted by The New York Times, Money magazine, the AARP, and beyond. She has written innumerable books (including a new one for Penguin Books released in March 2010), reports, and essays on where and how you can escape the retirement-tromping economy at home and live like royalty on a modest budget…invest for profits overseas ahead of the crowds…and secure your dream retirement in the world’s best destinations.

In ultimul an m-am gandit foarte mult la variantele pe care le am la dispozitie pentru a-mi dezvolta agentia imobiliara. Am ajuns astfel la concluzia ca cel mai bine este sa o afiliez unui sistem de franciza si l-am ales deja pe cel care a corespuns cel mai bine cerintelor mele. Momentan sunt la stadiul in care imi construiesc echipa si am in vedere urmatoarele: – este un sistem business in business, unde toti agentii sunt antreprenori in propria afacere si lucreaza intr-un sistem care le ofera un mecanism care si-a dovedit eficienta, beneficiind in acelasi timp de libertate de … Continue reading Doresti sa faci parte dintr-o echipa de succes in vanzari imobiliare?

Proiectele imobiliare de calitate isi gasesc in continuare locul pe piata datorita faptului ca se ridica la standardele cerute de cumparatori care sunt din ce in ce mai ridicate, mai ales in contextul economic actual.
DAC Invest, departamentul de investitii al companiei DAC Antrepriza Constructii (fosta General Lux Service) prezinta cel mai nou proiect in calitate de dezvoltator si constructor – Shine Residence 2 .
Succesul de piata pe care l-a inregistrat cu proiectul anterior Shine Residece (30 de apartamente de 1,2 si 3 camere in estul Bucurestiului) vandut in totalitate in anul 2009 si experienta acumulata in cei 11 ani de prezenta constanta intre firmele cu traditie din domeniul constructiilor civile si industriale recomanda DAC Invest pe piata imobiliara romaneasca.
Localizarea proiectului este una de exceptie in zona centrala a Bucurestiului, pe strada Vasile Lascar, in imediata vecinatate a bulevardului Dacia. Cladirea va avea un regim de inaltime S+P+6, o suprafata totala de 2000 mp, 10 locuri de parcare situate intr-un parcaj subteran si va avea urmatoarea structura: la parter si etajul 1 se vor gasi spatii comerciale/birouri in suprafata de 360 mp, etajele 2,3,4 si 5 vor fi ocupate de cate 2 apartamente pe nivel cu suprafete cuprinse intre 68,5 mp (garsoniera) si 130,3 mp (3 camere) iar etajul 6 va fi ocupat integral de un superb penthouse cu o suprafata generoasa de 178,9 mp.

One of my favorite places on earth will be getting a lot of positive attention starting later this month when “Survivor” begins filming its 21st season in and around San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Then, for 14 weeks this fall, some 13 million U.S. households will tune in to CBS every Wednesday night to watch 20 Survivorists tromp around the Nicaraguan jungles.
This is a big deal for a little country like Nicaragua. I’ve seen the effects of this kind of thing in the past. When “Temptation Island,” for example, aired its Isla Bonita season filmed on Ambergris Caye, Belize, suddenly, overnight, this outpost of divers and fishermen was a household name.
The Temptation Island Effect created a new and higher-end (US$1 million-plus) market on this formerly unnoticed Caribbean island, the vestiges of which I viewed recently. All along Ambergris’ white-sand coast today are condo developments built to supply the Temptation Island viewers who, having been introduced to this island paradise in prime time, wanted to claim a little piece of it for themselves. How cool it became to be able to say, “I’m going down to spend a week on the beach at my place on Ambergris Caye…you know, the island off Belize where ‘Temptation Island’ was filmed…”
