Hi ohiguy,
Nice to meet you. From your message I can guess you have a quite good amount of experience in export import business. Also you have some manufacturing experience. I think you will be definitely be of help to me. Where are you located? In US? or other continent?
Thanks

I just joined today and your post is the first I read. I may be able to help. I have a background in Import / Export and want to volunteer to be a sounding board for you. Feel free to ask away. I understand a relationship would need to be developed before the 'real' questions can be asked, but I hope we can get to the point.

A bit about me:
My degree is in International Business and I started a manufacturing / import / export company while in school with a friend of mine. Grew it to $7MM and 65 employees and sold our products (abrasive beauty products) in over 90,000 stores worldwide. Economy took a dive and so did our business (looooong story). I've been self employed for the past couple of years doing retirement planning for peeps. I came to the site to surround myself with other successful people and to find ways to give to others. You may be able to help me do just that.

So with that, please let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
