Thanks for tuning in again, I’m recording this after taking a midday hike in Nanshan Mountain – in late July. I wanted to clear my head a bit and get some sun – but that was a bad idea – got a little dizzy towards the top and luckily I could grab a gatorade from a vendor on the mountain (yes, in China they have vendors – with humans inside, on the tops of mountains!)

I am just loving hearing from listeners – we had Jack find our podcast from his search on Stripe merchant account being in Hong Kong (episode 26) and he gave me an idea to reach out to Payment wall merchant account for a future episode. And I hope to catch up with him for a coffee (well I’m lowering my coffee so most likely a tea!) when he comes over to Hong Kong or Shenzhen from Taiwan in the next few months about his newest venture! Thanks again for listening Jack!

I’m energized and excited for this week’s episode – a ton of readers reach out to me about how to get a job in China and Asia. So I asked Justin Leung from Ambition Recruiting services in Hong Kong to give us some insights and overview about how people not living in Asia can start their job search. Let’s listen in.

Thanks Justin – I hope this inspires some people listening begging to get over to Asia to take some more active steps and do it! But as Justin says, to find the right opportunity you may have to just come out here and meet people – visit companies, network to really find the right one. But it doesn’t hurt to do some contacting and legwork while at home too.

I have to say, in life – those who actively make moves, every single day, are the ones who have a chance at reaching their goals and achieving their dreams. Sure there are some big wins that are critical, but I still believe that it takes a consistent mindset to write down what you want, and each day work towards getting a little closer.

If you want the notes, we always put them on our website – this week is globalfromasia.com/episode43 and also remember I have that new fancy voicemail thingie you can try on globalfromasia.com/voicemail – but I will take any feedback I can get – email, coffee (well tea), tweets @michelini – I’m loving it!

See you next week
