IRTA & ITFC Forge Agreement Barter
System In OIC Countries
IRTA has signed an important consulting agreement with the
International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC) to provide an
action plan for the creation and implementation of a multi-tiered
barter system that will include retail, corporate barter and
counter-trade components.
The CEO of the ITFC, Dr. Waleed
Al-Wohaib, attended IRTA’s recent convention and signed the
IRTA/ITFC consulting agreement with IRTA's President Annette Riggs
on September 17, 2015.
The ITFC is the trade finance arm of

increase trade and economic activity for its member countries and

New Study Shows Similarities
A new
study from JD Power & Associates, of more than 20,000 hotel guests
from eight countries, confirmed that price and location are the top
factors in picking a hotel. The only exceptions were the Italian
travelers who ranked a hotel's reputation above price, and Spanish
travelers who ranked previous experience higher than price when
booking a room.
Talent Is Undemocratic
If you work hard enough, the maxim goes, you can do anything. This
is one of those notions that is so stupid it has to embody a deeply
held belief. If you work hard enough, you can be a poet. If you work
hard enough, you can become a brain surgeon, a model, or the
president.
Obviously no one
believes those things … meritocracy resists the fact of talent,
because talent is not merited. Beauty, artistic ability, athletic
gifts, big brains: these are all just things you’re born with,
however much you may be able to develop what you’ve been given.
Talent is undemocratic.

essayist and critic. Source: American Scholar blog.)
Bootstrapping — A Different Way Of Thinking
Bootstrapping is
the art of learning to do more with less. It’s not about writing
200-page business plans, power lunching with venture capitalists or
triple-mortgaging your home to pay legal and accounting fees. A
company that is started and built around a culture of bootstrap
management understands that all resources are scarce and that cash
must be cherished.
Entrepreneurs across America have
repeatedly started successful businesses on a wing and a prayer,
plus one special ingredient: an understanding of the art of
bootstrapping. Imagine building one of the most recognized brands in
the winemaking industry with a few hundred dollars. That’s exactly
how Ernest and Julio Gallo started in 1933 in Modesto, California.
They were turned down for a loan by several banks, so they
convinced local farmers to provide them with grapes, deferring
payment until the wine was actually sold. They also convinced
manufacturers to sell them crushing and fermenting equipment on
90-day terms. Today, the company started by those bootstrappers
enjoys worldwide sales approaching one-billion dollars annually.
