Keep in mind that topics that can not be discussed in public (e.g. taxes, certain truths about that China) due to legal reasons and/or reasons of political correctness will be discussed on the call. As much as I want to blog openly about all of my China business experience…I sadly have to hold back, genuinely begged by my Chinese staff and business associates. If you decide on a consulting call, you will learn about many things about China that no one is writing about. You will get a straight forward, no BS rundown of what’s going on. This unique insight into Chinese culture alone is worth the consulting fee if you are heading to China.
"When I first arrived in China Mike was a huge help to me – gave me great advice for getting connected to startups and customers in the China business community. Mike is THE GUY for the Asia startup scene and an expert in generating business leads in China. Do yourself a favor and get some advice from Mike." ~ Kevin Dewalt, Startup Advisor
