Armenian Individualism

5. VS

6.  BE VERY CAREFUL!
 You will not have much choice.
 Solution: virtual mentors.
 Most information you need is online!
 Tons of great videos, audios and books.

11.  Like it or not: Armenian market is too small!
 No serious investor or entrepreneur will deal
with you if you target Armenian market.
 I know you are a patriot – so am I. The best way
to prove it: get successful globally.
 Opportunity of lifetime: distribute you products
anywhere in the world, easy and cheap.

12.  Forget Business Plans!
 Executive summary is more
than enough.
 Business Models forever!
 Read, learn and try over.

13.  Read this book
5 Times
 Be lean!

14.  It is going to take MANY
years.
 You still have very high
chance to fail.
 Don’t like it – don’t do it.
 You need to have a
strong and powerful
reason to go through
this.
