As our group sweltered in the July heat on the outskirts of Cairo , each of these purported minions of the state — none of whom wore a uniform or badge — in turn blocked our entry, determined to exercise the modest amount of authority bestowed on him by demanding that my host surrender his digital SLR camera.
Rising consumer demand in China itself has also led its own manufacturers to favour selling domestically. By now, many would know that China is expanding aggressively to West Asian and North African countries like Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Algeria, Libya and Egypt. Traditionally, Asian coastal cities have ruled shipping trade.
They’re happy to facilitate revolution in Moldova, Iran, Egypt and Libya. They thought we should be able to demand payment. They forgot about demand and supply. Supply doesn’t automatically equal demand – especially financial demand. Brands can’t be a-political, they need to stand for something.
Tapping into global markets – There are talented people in the world who can’t earn a “global market rate” for their services but when you open them up to global demand – boom! Think Tunia, Egypt, Syria and now Turkey. An obvious example of this is oDesk. It is open and empowering. And rebellion.

And while the concept of Tunisia and Egypt being ‘Twitter” revolutions is over-stated, it is true that easy media connectivity has greatly accelerated organized action on long-held social and political discontents. It is young people with qualities like this that are changing Egypt. But not for long.
Successful entrepreneurs seem to be able to hyper-focus, and, as Josh, points out, say NO effectively (Denial is not just a river in Egypt, after all). In addition, living with both ambiguity and the demands of very high growth requires quite a bit of skill- and something akin to experience.
While operating a tutoring business I was able to identify a demand for niche business software. I started Red Sea Diving College because I saw the chance to build a business that would be a pioneer in Egypt. My sons were in bed by 9 pm and I usually stayed up for a few more hours. From 9 pm to 1 am I banged away on a keyboard.
Or just the sheer power of people being able to self organize as they have done in Egypt, Iran or Tunisia. Like any company I’d advise, we’ll be focused on multiple streams both because our customers demand it and to maintain our stability as an independent company.
