We are recruiting staff right now, all day every day interviewing young bright people. We will train a team of young people to understand the marketing methods of Europe.. to give careful consideration, attention to detail, and genuine passion - we believe that takes time and talent, and that is simply not available in Europe. A successful online business is a battle for attention.. of course, you need excellent products, without that you have nothing, and without good (cost-effective) marketing your perfect products will not sell..

Today I dragged myself away from the new office to check on progress at AW warehouse, just up the road. I'm introduced to the latest recruits, we are expanding and the warehouse is totally crammed again. A container will be loaded to go to the Slovakia warehouse next week. All the staff here are interested in the new business starting nearby, they wish us well..

But that's not all. In Bali, a business must officially start with a ceremony.. and that ceremony must be on an auspicious date. All the key people must be there, the local village head person, staff, and priest.
Ringo and Made (our export manager) consult the Balinese calendar to determine which is the best date. Every office in Bali has this calendar and we often have to consult it.
