“What leaders and entrepreneurs have to do is understand the local game if they want to play in it.” -Kyle Hegarty



In this week’s show, I interviewed Kyle Hegarty, General Manager of TSL Marketing in Singapore, and author of The Accidental Business Nomad. Kyle helps leaders and teams refocus their company culture towards global innovation so they can grow their sales and marketing capabilities across new markets. This conversation is very timely and practical because as innovative entrepreneurs approaching the new normal, we need a borderless marketplace where we can maximize our potential. However, being clueless before diving into this avenue has so much risk and may even lead to failure. Kyle shares the challenges of entrepreneurs launching their first venture in an international setting and how to overcome these challenges, how to win against the local competition, how to adapt to cultural differences and language barriers, and some useful tools for global entrepreneurs. So if you’re an entrepreneur with an adventurous spirit looking into the international market, click on the link below for some useful tips, tools, and wisdom:
