The Three Pillars Foreign Direct Investment Methodology Approach
(Part I)
NRI Consulting is well positioned to support the achievement of objectives associated with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG). We understand the levity of the MDG goals and the impact of this achievement in protecting and sustaining gains in a countrys human development while simultaneously ensuring that a nation becomes a fully developed society that is prosperous and globally competitive.
The Three Pillars program seeks to create equal access opportunities inclusive of all businesses for foreign and local direct investment. The challenge of job creation, entrepreneurial development and business expansion must be overcome to foster a national culture which rewards risk taking and perseverance in transitioning innovative ideas into sustainable enterprises. NRI Consulting is here to help developing countries overcome those challenges with our knowledge team of economic, trade, branding and specific sector specialists.
Currently the banking environment in many countries is perceived by common business owners to be adverse to small to mid-size enterprises and it is believed that more often than admitted, bank decisions are rendered not upon the objective, analytical assessment of the viability and historical performance of a company but rather, their decisions are based upon birth descent, family name, the school, residential parish location, and/or ethnic grouping. In other cases, collateral which is usually not accessible to small to mid-size business owners is needed as loan security. If sustainable economic benchmarks are to be achieved, equal opportunity and access must be given to entrepreneurs who seek to gain financial independence through the creation of innovative nationally branded product offerings and services. In the absence of equal access and equal opportunity to entrepreneurial and business development and expansion, a country is threatened with human capital flight.
(Part II)
NRI Consulting believes that the challenging business development, capital acquisition and trade expansion issues developing countries face require innovative and creative solutions.
Goal One of The Three Pillars seeks to identify and vet entrepreneurs operating with a visionary approach whose service and product offerings lend itself to establishing a regional and/or international brand and in more optimal instances, a geographical indicator. On a B2B level, The Three Pillars seeks to help your company identify, develop, brand and market your service and product offerings for international distribution and sales.
Goal Two of The Three Pillars seeks to communicate the guiding philosophy and policies of NRIs approach to working with international stakeholders in seeking strategic alliances and funding sources on behalf a client country..
Goal Three of The Three Pillars seeks to ensure a client country is positioned to play an aggressive, pragmatic and active role in the ongoing re-ordering of relations that the processes of liberalization and globalization entail.
Goal Four of The Three Pillars seeks to build your Nations brand globally in order to solidify economic resilience.

About The Chocolate Cake Club
Deciding to stay in a relationship or to get out has to be one of the most mentally and emotionally challenging decisions we, as humans, must make.

Does Height Make the Man?
Recently a friend and I attempted to make a love connection with my girlfriend and one of his male friends. The only stumbling block to our grand plan was that she lived by the mantra, You have to be taller than me to ride this ride. (No sexual pun intended ). Because my friend and I are resourceful people, we are typically able to finesse a stumbling block into a stepping stone, except in this particular instance, my girlfriend happens to be 59 tall. Admittedly, it was initially my idea to play matchmaker because the two individuals in mind were the same age, had similar sense of humors and were both good looking people. She however passed on meeting my love connection choice because he was the same height as her and she felt that since she would not be able to wear heels if they dated, her response was a gracious, Thanks but no thanks. To say I was a little disappointed is an understatement considering I did not completely understand her logic. You see Chocolate Cake Club, the last couple of men she dated, though all over six feet tall, were essentially wanderers.
Chocolate Cake Club Definition:
Wanderer - An individual whose attention wanders towards other attractive individuals whenever his/her mate is not physically present. Though in a committed relationship, this individual will flirt, make an introduction to or collect contact information from the attractive person who has momentarily captured their attention. Please note that the wanderer usually does not go beyond verbal conversation, text, email and/or chat communication with the interested party at hand.
This is not to say that all men over six feet tall behave as a wanderer. This just happened to be the case where my girlfriend was concerned. One guy I even daresay was an ex-convict though on a positive note, he met her height requirement. I wish someone out there would help me understand how a smart and beautiful woman would choose to pass on a professionally established, stable, physically fit man simply because he does not tower over her.
I can recall the love story of an old friend who would not be happily married today if she had stuck to her height requirement. She had been dating for quite a few years with no engagement ring in sight until one day she met her to be husband through a professional connection. Upon seeing him, she thought to herself, Nice looking guy, but he is just too short. He was well educated, a corporate executive, well spoken, a home owner and 56 tall. She was 52 but in her mind, he may as well have been a midget. Very quickly, they became great friends and over time, feelings for one another grew. She however attempted to fight her emotions for him by dating other people until one day, he asked her to dinner. There, he put all his cards on the table and emphatically stated that he wanted to know once and for all if her intent was to keep him in the Friend Zone. Though she struggled with releasing the dream of what her ideal man would look like, wisdom came to her rescue and she told him she wanted to give their relationship a chance to see where it would lead. To her surprise, in the span of less than twelve months, the road culminated with a Tiffanys jewelry box cradling a beautiful platinum diamond engagement ring and a wedding, honeymoon and marriage that has exceeded her expectations. Do I dare ask Chocolate Cake Club if some of us would have exhibited her same wisdom?
According to the U.S. Census 2000, the average height for a female is 54 and the average height for a male is 59 with no significant variances related to racial groups. If this statement is true then can we afford to pass on an employed, hard working, decent looking man JUST because of his height? Is it possible Chocolate Cake Club that if we are alone, it is because we believe that height makes the man rather than character or hard work or perseverance? Let me hear from you.
