Is Speaking English: All We Need To Be Successful In The 21st Century?



Jim Rogers
Jim Rogers, the best selling author of Hot Commodities and Adventure Capitalist, states: "If the twentieth century was the American century, then the twenty-first century belongs to China."

If projections hold, China will surpass the United States as the world's largest economy in as little as twenty years. Thus, the time to act is now. This may be tough for some of us to swallow but the the fact is with China embracing the Free Market and coming out of a hibernating phase of being, Asia is hungry for growth, progress, and sustainability.

Their greatest resource is their sheer population.

Jim Rogers is one of the world's most successful investors, so you may wonder what does he know about how to make our small home businesses successful. Well, everything, because with the American economy becoming stagnant, competition for small business will become ultra fierce.

Small American businesses are going to have to find ways to save money and offer unsurpassed quality, and customer service. China is growing so fast and is finding every day how to offer these services. The Net has made the world so small and that is why it is imperative to Learn Chinese. Either that or you will have to find some one you can truly trust to negotiate business for you. If you are like me... like to control all that you can, you will join me in learning Chinese and teaching it to my children.

And if you are interested in learning more about how Chinese is the next world power, no other person than Jim Rogers can explain to you the "amazing energy, potential, and entrepreneurial spirit of a billion people".

Jim recently moved to Asia with his wife and daughter. I'll let you decide what second language his daughter has learned!
