How safe is the country for Americans?
When, and only when, you have accurate information and satisfactory answers to these questions, and have determined you have found a viable business climate, are you prepared to move to step two-acquiring operational data through research and investigation. Do your research More useful country-specific data and information exists than you can possibly assimilate and effectively process. Limit your inquiry to those areas and items that are truly pertinent to the success of your plan. Following are just a few possible sources of information for you to explore: • Go to your local public library or the library at a local college or university. Ask if the library has a “Culturegram” for that country. My state, Colorado, produces a piece entitled “Protocolorado” for most foreign countries that can be obtained through the Office of Economic Development. • Mine the Internet. Be selective, however, or you can spend the rest of your real estate career gathering data here. • Call your Congressman
