International Business Idea #7: Farming Or Wining

No new business venture should be undertaken lightly, but investing in a vineyard, a plantation, or a cattle ranch might be more ambitious than other ideas on this list. They could also be profitable and a lot of fun…for the right would-be entrepreneur.

Ten-odd years on with my own overseas start-up, I can tell you that it’s not easy. But I don’t regret a single day of it. In fact, my only regret is that I didn’t start sooner.
