Book recommendation: The Adventure Capitalist

I often search for the great entrepreneurial books - mainly about great entrepreneurs (Richard Branson biography) or some marketing inspiration (Seth Godin, Meerman Scott). However, it was the first time I engaged in a travel that focused on trading goods bought in one country to be sold in another one.

The adventure capitalist by Conor Woodman is a title I recommend, as it shows very interesting places around the world and their people making every day living out of trading. These places differ by techniques of trading, culture and climate - which all in total makes this a valuable lesson.
The world reveals as not managed or run by big multinational companies. It's rather down to us, those small businesses that make it work for Corporations and world.

The surprising fact is that not all the trades are successful or work well. Trading is not simple as it involves many factors and people. Therefore it is a charming true adventure through trade around the world.

Involved: camels, coffee, chilli, horses, jade, inflatable surfboards, fish-mackerels, wood...

Oh well - read it and you won't regret it!:)
