I had a business appointment today in the embassy... my husband after visiting my country is interested to do business there and that is why I attend the meeting there. I am so confused and shy if I say to my husband I did not understand that much about it..
the man who tried to explain things was really a great and sophisticated one, I think I made more than enough question too but finally I am not that much able to digest how business works! I do not know if I have that much talent in that as I have not done it before... it is a matter of investing huge money in this way and my husband wants me to be responsible while I have said to him that is you work and I do not know anything about business..
can anybody guide me here for having successful international business??? I am shy for I did not understand that much after all embassy gave me some explanation..

it would depend on what kind of a business your husband is engaging in. expertise on the product that he will be dealing with is important.
i think that you MUST help your husband since he will be doing business in your country and you know your country better than he does. i don't know if he speaks the language. if he doesn't, then you have to be present in all the transactions to amke sure that you do not lose money. some people take advantage of foreigners and you should safeguard your husband from them.
you said you are a shy person. confidence will come natural later when you know the ropes of your husbands business. if you didn't understand what the embassy official was talking about, ask your husband to explain it to you clearly. don't hesitate to ask questions if you are not clear about something. remember, you are the only one who will help your husband without asking for something in return. in order that he won't be duped by other people, you have to be there for him.

you are right, the problem is language because he does not know my country language but I do not know how can I help him? I mean, I am also out of my country and how can I go through market there and to be update and so close to market there?

Hi,
Now-a-days doing business is not a childs play, especially it is an international business. Also, there are a lots of variety of business models depend on various categories. Here you didn't mention anything other than your h/b's plan for an international business in your country.
Also, it is not clear that what is your role and why they should educate about the business as he is the proprietory. If it is a partnership or having your role in the business you need to understand everything.
Also, if the enbassy people talk about the business, you just listen like a new-bee that from the very biginning you understand what they are talking about, how, where, why, when etc. There are a lot of technicalities and business modules which are complicated when it comes to international level.
The government approval, financial side, type of business, kind of business like manufacturing, internet business, business for shipping, airlnes, or many more. So, first you need to understnad the basic things like what business, how much is the investment requirement, etc.
Anyway, if they given some idea about it, your h/b may be well aware of it he will give you better feedback or understanding on it. Or else, you can ask him about his plans and accordingly you can easily understand what is his plan and if he is already experienced in business line, he may be aware how to handle it, you need to assist him only. But ask him first, about his ideas and gradually you will get some knowledge about it. However, business is so risky and highly competive and need much knoweldge and attention to handle business these days.
thank-s

thanks for your nice advice.. when I ask my husband he just shows me his ego and says to me are you really that much fool to not understand business..? the way he talks hurt me too much and I just keep quiet and I want to leave it for him, and not care what will happen, if he wants to do that, then he should get responsibility of success or fail in the future cause I am fool and he is too smart.. then what is the need of me to be there?
just ask me to call to this and that of your cousins to give me this and that information..

First of all it is extremely necessary to know to you that which kind of business it is. What you need to know, is it any product selling or something related to networking. whatever you describe in your message, it is understandable that it is a networking related business but you did not describe what you need to do in this business and in which you will invest your money.
If You are thinking to do this business just because of you see the presentation and the person who was giving the presentation was very encouraging sophisticated then please think about that, Everybody would feel good after seeing the presentation like that but before investing anything just think. Are you able to meet new people without any hesitation and can give them your intro and all and can do everthing well.
But if you are shy and can not do all these things then i would advice you that do not spend money in hurry and find all the ways what you need to do in this business and what not.
The person who invited you to join that seminar would try every possible way so that you can invest your money as soon as possible but do not invest in hurry and find all the information and after that if you feel that youu can do then must invest.....all the best...
