What's affecting me, my clients, my colleagues and other global small business owners:

• Alibaba founder Jack Ma's future of commerce.
• Why UK small businesses aren't thinking globally.
• Four (4) days left to register for the 2nd Annual Global Small Business Forum held in Chicago 10/21.
• Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker says "small businesses are leading the way."
• Is it too early to be planning your 2017 e-commerce holiday calendar (I don't think so).
• The silver bullet for helping small businesses trade: Plurilateral agreement on de minimis.
