Creating value for global companies and talent to establish there. Don’t sell the country, but buy the client. Don’t advertise, but provide the mentor, the sponsor for your target. Think like a corporate. Finding JV partners as other nations which complement their objective of growth through trade and investment.

19. •“If you were given a credit card on which you could roll over debt forever and the monthly payments just dropped to all time lows, wouldn’t you borrow more? That’s America. Their debt is not more a problem today than that magic credit card. Stop worrying.”
•“Europe is the world’s largest market – with 250m people and a GDP of $14trn it matches the US – and that’s with 0% growth. We really need to get over no growth worries”
•“We live in a world where China makes a new Britain through growth every 4 years. A whole new nation. How great is that for global demand?”
•“Wealth is not moving East. It is squeezing the Middle (East).”
•“We are in a period where the wealth of nations is simply reverting back to it’s long term average – 2000 year average – when for 1,700 years China and India were the largest economies”
•“It is no coincidence that any map of the world showing the wealthiest nations also shows the nations which invest the most in research and development. Your ability to create and own intellectual property is the best predictor of future national wealth”
•“That tempting fad, ‘chinese gaming companies’, ‘solar panel makers’, ‘mobile app makers’ – by the time you jump in, it’s too late. You’re better off investing in their supply chain.”

20. “The confidence of nations is subdued because they do not see in their history their greatness; the Indians do not see that in raising in the second world war the largest volunteer army in history, they fought for British independence, that they created the largest democracy in history, and that in ending the British Empire in India, they freed more humans than even Abraham Lincoln.”
“More Muslims live in this country than any other, yet they live as a minority, under a democracy not theocracy. This country is India. If they can do it here, this friend of Iran and America, then there need be no clash of civilisations.”
“What the leadership gurus don’t tell you is that all great faiths which produced the greatest leaders taught us that leaders view work as worship, leaders are detached from reward, leaders are story-tellers, can change your perspective, make you see the god within.”
“The Chinese can't compete until they own R&D - just ask the Koreans. They need to learn from India who acquire British company patents and then turn that into profits.”

21. “If Steve Jobs can get someone to work all-nighters to sell an object made of glass, plastic and metal, then you know the key to leadership and inspiration is to give higher purpose to people even in the mundane – you’re note making phones, you’re making people’s lives better. For purpose out of the daily mundane people will endlessly follow you.”
“Never bet against America. The Americans have something the rest of the world put together does not – they have the ‘American spirit’ – thanks to the British and Japanese Empires.”

22. “I dare you to be an entrepreneur, to vomit wih fear at 4am and yet to pursue your magnificent obsession.”
“You don’t get funded because there is a whole game going on you don’t know about – you don’t know that the 60s pitch should be crafted by a script-writer and performed with the help of an actor; that you need professional likeability training – because business ideas alone are two-a-penny and worthless.”
“Governments are competing for entrepreneurial DNA. If they could extract and clone it - they would. They need us the economic warriors, the wealth creators, the growth makers, without whom there is no wealth redistribution, no social care, no health care.”
