Achieving your dreams is vitally important in life, and particularly discussed a lot of at this time of year.
Recently I was able to achieve one of my dreams by visiting the tallest building in the world and getting to the highest observation point in the world.
This is the Burj Khalifa, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It’s the same location used in the movie, Mission Impossible III, with Tom Cruise. Check out the video I put together, where you can see the great view from the 148th floor!
As I visited Dubai, a major city for commerce in the world, I thought about the elements that are necessary to achieve success in business.
The city of Dubai is teaming with energy and opportunity. To begin with, they have no taxes, which is a great incentive for people to work hard. People know that as they earn money, they get to keep what they make — unlike other countries, where the more you make, the more the government confiscates from you.
Find ways to decrease friction in the midst of doing business. As you can make life easier for your customers, they will be more inclined to do business with you. In Dubai, people are open to doing business with people who can produce, regardless of their background. No, it is not perfect — they have human beings there. Yet this city has tended to emphasize opportunity for those who are willing to work and produce value.
