Export Inspiration

You’d have to be living in a cave not to notice all the attention on President Obama’s recent export push.  It’s referred to as our national export initiative which sets a goal of doubling U.S. exports in the next five years to keep the United States competitive internationally while supporting the creation of 2 million jobs at home.

Our sponsor, The Global Small Business Blog, has been reporting on this topic extensively.  To get up to speed, read:
