Why Thinking Global Is the Game-Changer for Entrepreneurs

A while back, I ran into a fellow entrepreneur. In our conversation, I mentioned that I was returning to the global aspect of my work, infusing global, leadership development, with entrepreneurial growth.

Her response caught my attention. She said, “Oh, I’m not interested in global. I just want to grow my business locally.”

I completely understood her point of view, it’s natural to want to focus on the immediate, the familiar. But I couldn’t help but challenge her perspective. I said, “Imagine if you spoke on a global stage. You might find that international recognition increases your value, that people are willing to pay more because they see your worth. You may gain clients locally, but being known globally gives you credibility and influence.”

She paused and said, “Wow, I never thought about it like that.”

And that moment reminded me of something powerful: sometimes it’s not about chasing business overseas, it’s about expanding your mindset.

When you open yourself to global opportunities, you don’t just reach new markets , you grow in perspective, network, and confidence. You begin to see your work not just as something local, but as something that contributes to the world.

That’s exactly why I decided to reinvent the Global Leaders Circle.

Final Thought

Local is important. It’s where we start, where we serve, and where we build. But global thinking is where we elevate.

Because when you embrace the world, the world starts to recognize you.
