Read this or you AIN’T gonna get
anywhere!

2. It AIN’T Gonna be easy
Why do people think it is easy to do
business overseas? Culture, language,
customs and laws are different!

The biggest single cultural difference
is the perception of “time”

4. It AIN’T gonna be free
Does your office have staff, machines,
phones, vendors, and expenses? Why
do you think that would be different
abroad?

5. Your skills AIN’T gonna transfer
Well, not completely. You may know all

Jet lag. Exhaustion. Lack of language.
Cramped flights. Endless meetings.
Tricky negotiations.

7. Your money AIN’T gonna guarantee
success.
Just because you are the buyer,
doesn’t mean you will have an easy
time buying what you want.

8. Your law AIN’T gonna win
You AIN’T gonna sue
If you do, you AIN’T gonna win
If you do you AIN’T gonna collect

9. You AIN’T playing as equals
No matter what your project, the
strongest relationship will win…even
if your product is better

10. They AIN’T gonna be transparent
Americans say what they mean, and
mean what they say. There aren’t
many other cultures that do that

11. You AIN’T gonna succeed if you
AIN’T knowing what you are doing
