    Thanks for that. My son in law apologizes for his late delivery. He had a bad day yesterday. Anyways, the books are now in your inbox. I hope your enterprise will now prosper. Don't forget, you can post questions on my AMA, but if you need help with anything that involves confidentiality, send...

    Beginning

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the best forum in the world! I spent a some time in Ireland while setting up the Irish Republic part of my franchise network which I began in Australia. I enjoyed my time there nearly 30 years ago, but I must say I was sorry to see so much beautiful and formerly productive country...

    Execution: Building a Novelty toy business

    I am back from a very relaxing touring holiday and realized that I had not commented on this point, so here it is for the benefit of both the OP and other readers. 1. Never feel obliged to order the MOQ quoted by suppliers on Alibaba. MOQ's are only for newbies who don't know how to negotiate...

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Several years ago, I quoted from a thread by @Vigilante in which he strongly recommended choosing a product that had not previously been imported into the country where you want to sell. That is very sound advice. Most people seem to look for "hot selling" products, even paying good money to...

    I like your suggestion. I am considering approaching Lambert Licensing | Patent Licensing and Marketing Services to have them research my invention and if they agree that it is worthwhile, sell it outright on my behalf or license it. I prefer an outright sale. I made this an assignment for my...

    Thank you. My son in law was very quick off the mark and it seems that you received the PDFs in record time. I am confident that if you read through each one a couple of times you will be well on your way. Best Wishes, Walter Readers please note the price for that three book bundle has...

    The 2019 version is the latest. Due to the massive changes in international commerce due to Covid 19 I have delayed my revision until the dust settles. I have prepared many notes, and will announce when it is published. The B2B book is a long term project, and I am making slow progress due to...

    Think Big, and Then Think Bigger Than That.

    GOLD! 
    Thanks for the suggestion. I once did something along those lines, but not as a partnership. I employed a young friend as a salesman in my chemical business. He was a workaholic and a brilliant salesman. When the 1973 oil embargo brought manufacturing businesses in Australia to a halt, at his...

    I am ashamed to admit that I have been sitting on a life-saving invention for 25 years. In that time it could have saved countless lives in fires occurring in large buildings. My excuse is that I was still building my franchising empire and was not only busy, but enjoying myself. Reading this...

    UK Legal Question (For any Brits Here)

    I ran the UK and Irish Republic part of my franchise network mostly from Australia, although I was resident in the UK for a long period. It involved importing to the UK and B2B marketing. I would be glad to help. Walter

    My son in law informs me that repeated attempts to send the books to your email address failed, so I have sent them via the forum's PM system. I checked out your website to try to find another address, but to no avail. In the process I noted that your niche is one about which I have...

    I deal with the matter of anti-dumping duties in my safe sourcing and importing book, along with countless other things that you need to know. My AMA is not like the blogs and YouTube shows by people who make themselves out to be experts. It actually provides accurate answers to questions, and...

    Starting a business with the intention of selling franchises.

    Those Operations Manuals are worth their weight in gold if the franchise system is successful, with it being a win/win arrangement for both Franchisor and Franchisees. This is why I took two legally enforceable security steps to protect that valuable asset: 1. In the Franchise Agreement it was...

    Businesses in China sometimes work 7 days a week, but the English speaking employees who handle exports will usually take one day off. Sometimes they will take two days break, so it is quite common for them to not answer emails on weekends. Walter

    You still need to be careful. Made-in-china.com also has deficiencies in its verification system, so check any supplier very carefully. Walter

    @Gentlegiant Thanks for posting here. I am afraid that most people who want to start importing have been influenced by "experts" who are ignorant of the realities of safe sourcing, particularly as it relates to the minefield called Alibaba. Much of that misinformation has been regurgitated as...

    Manufacturer sells what I want but 3rd party reports says otherwise?

    You are welcome. There are frequent and numerous changes happening in the sourcing and importing scene, and that is why I revise my book every year. Keep this in mind when reading through my AMA. Some early posts might have been made obsolete by such changes resulting in me having posted new...

    Manufacturer sells what I want but 3rd party reports says otherwise?

    How are you learning? The internet is full of misinformation on the subject. Most of the stuff you will read is published by people who have done well in marketing, but don't know how to safely source products and how to import them without being ripped off. It is obvious that you have a lot to...
