Hello Nicaragua- Technology Is Coming Fast!



Hello all. I know I have not been here in a while, but I have been concentrating my efforts elsewhere and just wanted to make a brief video for all you Nicaragua buffs out there and tell you that I think soon our paths are going to cross.  I am doing consulting with all types of very successful and interesting companies where I think I will be able do some business in Nica as well.
If you have ever dreamed of doing  business in Nicaragua, your in luck.  Nicaragua holds all types of benefits and opportunities for businesses of all types and sizes out there.  If you are looking to export from Nica or provide a service there, the playing field is wide open and many will find the  benefits like I have.
If you are just simply looking to retire there, I can tell you from experience that the dollar goes a long way.  The houses are cheap and you can take full advantage of the surf or views of the volcanoes.  The people are extremely friendly and are always there to help.  The people of Nicaragua are some of the nicest I have met in my travels.  I have stayed in 4 star hotels and even in peoples houses there.  You find that the food is second to none and my favorite thing to eat is the chicken. You will love the cuisine and the fresh juice squeezed daily.
For the entrepreneur looking to dip his or her toe into the kiddie pool, there are several opportunities for you to try before you get seriously involved.  In the city of Managua you will find all the same type of things that countries in the West have such as famous popular restaurants and malls, auto dealerships, salons, even really high end stores in certain areas.
The coffee is amazing and second to none. You can tour the coffee plantations on your way to the volcanoes and taste it similar to how Americans do wine tasting tours.  You will find many of these and the coffee is always fresh.
I have visited the export office and spoken with the head of exports there in Managua and can tell you that the main exports are beef and coffee.  They have ample ports and harbors for your exporting needs and can accommodate any size ship to hold your containers.
If you are interested in doing business there and have any questions, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or even send me a message.  I have been almost everywhere over there and have checked out everything that an entrepreneur can.  So please don't feel shy to reach out and contact me.  I have advised all types of people exporting goods from leather belts to t-shirts.  There is not a stupid question. I have also lived there for more than three weeks in a row, so I am much more versed than a tourist.  I have several friends down there as well if you are looking for a contact or even tours they can help.  You will need someone there to at least translate and help you pick the right places to eat and stay.  So if you are looking for ideas, friends, or other entrepreneurs, please feel free to browse my blog because there is something for everyone here. Take care and have a great day.
