US businesses are struggling to find workers, a topic this podcast has discussed many times.  And political divisiveness has been making it hard to implement policies to grow the economy.  To grow your business now could well be a good time to consider Mexico, as a final market or as part of your supply chain.

This podcast overviews Manny’s recent trip to Mexico, and discusses the impact of the 3 big trends – Demographics, ESG (environmental awareness), and AI (artificial intelligence) – on Mexico’s business and tourist industries.  With a much younger workforce, effective and affordable health care, workable environmental regulations, and rapid adoption of new technologies the economy is growing,  And it is supported by government investment in growth industries like tourism.  Listen and learn.

Thinking points:

• Have you considered searching for supply chain partners in the adjoining country of Mexico?
• Have you considered growing your business by setting up sales operations in Mexico?
• Are you aware that trade agreements with Mexico make it far less risky to do business than almost anywhere except Canada – and especially China?
• Are exploring ways to grow your business outside your historical business processes? If not, have you considered taking a trip to Mexico to find some personal White Space to develop new ideas?
