National competitiveness is not merely a numerical comparison between two countries. It is a measure of real-value creation and how this value translates into real productivity. This productivity is often reflected in the entrepreneurial spirit of small and medium enterprises, which over time, grow to become national and global giants. To understand this, we can look at history: How America established itself as a superpower economy a century ago, not by popularizing economic theories, but by fostering a culture of entrepreneurialism. Similarly, we can examine how China has achieved this in the last few decades, and how India is currently practicing this.
The economic future of creating national competitiveness is not in economic studies but hidden in the national mobilization of entrepreneurialism, the only powerhouse force that pragmatically inspires value creation to achieve national productivity, performance, and profitability. Economic development without entrepreneurialism is only economic destruction. Any political power without economic power is no power. Any economic power without entrepreneurial power is no growth.
Observe the domination of darkness before the invention of the bulb; notice the domination of incompetency before the invention of digitization. Political Science in such darkness was once a science of sorts, and despite stealth strangulation via political correctness, all is now visible under entirely digitized high-voltage bulbs, economies exposed naked in bubble baths surrounded by slippery marble floors.
Global competitiveness is no longer an IQ test marathon or a wrestling match. It is all about having a national citizenry capable of standing up to global competitiveness, measured by real-value creation, not mathematical wizardry creating value manipulations and fake economies. Any entrepreneurial power without a balanced mindset hypothesis is no power. Increasing the debt ceiling is not an economic success but a grand failure. Abandoning a national citizenry that cannot stand up to global age competitiveness is a political failure. Inabilities to identify, categorize, and digitize high-potential SMEs is an economic development failure.
The Fault Lines: The future of superpower economy countries will only be based on their citizenry’s mental powers and entrepreneurialism and not on the nation’s crypto-powers or fake economies, as hyper-accelerated mega-tech is only creating ‘digital deserts.’ Today, China is the only country with some 500 million highly skilled regimented workforces with a socialistically entrepreneurial mindset, the largest force ever greater than all of the top workforces of the Western economies combined.
The situation is critical, with over 100 free economies urgently redefining their competitive strategies to adapt to the new future. The stark reality of the challenges, as seen in the profiles of national economic development teams on LinkedIn, underscores the pressing need for change. It’s a hot, timely issue when 99% of these teams are still stuck in an academic job-seeker mindset.
There is no need for further proof: Over a million entrepreneurs have already demonstrated the power of the job-creator mindset. They have created over a million original small and medium businesses, each of which has grown and created over a million jobs. Why, then, the lingering fear of identifying at least one Nobel Prize Winner in Economics, whoever built one such enterprise?
Since the last millennium, only two mindsets have driven global economic progress: the job seeker mindset, which contributes to the growth of enterprises through an educated career, and the other, the job creator mindset, which is the entrepreneurial spirit that not only envisions but also gives birth to these actual enterprises in the first place. It’s a hot, timely issue when 99% of these teams are still stuck in an academic job-seeker mindset.
Here’s a fact: No single global giant enterprise ever hatched out on a chicken farm. Each and everyone started as tiny, unknown, from some unknown place across the world, only by some unknown person. There is no other formula of any kind, ever, except for someone creating an SME. This is where SMEs create the topsoil where giant enterprises are raised. This is the power of SMEs, the unsung economic growth heroes, and their limitless potential should inspire optimism for the future.
Here’s a fact: The ‘lemonade stand test’ is a metaphor for the idea that no job creation project can occur successfully unless the political-economic leadership can pass this test. This underscores the critical need for skills in SME creation, starting, developing, growing, and managing any job growth and SME scalability programs at the real pragmatic level of the global age of competitiveness.
Once known for its historical academic institutions, China has now transformed into the world’s largest living University for national entrepreneurialism. Its focus on hardcore manufacturing, exports, and trade has led to the creation of the most advanced group today: Study China, India, and population-rich nations on Google.
When the world never sleeps: National economic development and the ‘national mobilization of entrepreneurialism’ must operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year; this provides the depth, spectrum, and global business expansion wisdom. These deployments will awaken various small and medium economic sectors and instill in them the importance of embracing global challenges. This mindset will empower them to stand up to the global age of competitiveness, demonstrating superior productivity, performance, and profitability.
Hence, Urgently Needed Corrective Measures:
Needed is a calculator: A calculator from the local dollar store to place the right amounts in all the right columns. No longer attributes the economic wizardry as visible value manipulation must be replaced with entrepreneurialism to create real value. Totaled must be the grand opportunity losses over decades, significant numbers discouraged in the prime of youth, the volumes of energies of entrepreneurial men and women, and the untapped wealth, year after year. Such losses have been un-totaled, undefined, and invisible for so long. However, they must still be accounted for across national budgets and economic evaluations spanning decades for shock values. Recognizing entrepreneurialism as the most critical key to economic success is not just a theory but the only potential pathway to unlocking these hidden opportunities and driving economies forward.
Needed is an atlas: Throughout history, the success of nations has been like an open book, with only those countries that genuinely embraced entrepreneurialism as the lifeblood of grassroots prosperity able to rise to the status of super-economic powers. The potential of entrepreneurial mysticism to transform a simple lemonade stand into a thriving experience with a global enterprise like Coca-Cola, a legendary example like a beacon of hope for a bright economic future in every region.
Study how superpower economies became superpowers not through economic intellectualism or the discovery of mountains of gold and diamonds but exclusively through national mobilization of entrepreneurialism.
Today, economics is just a numbering game, like sketching a skyscraper with precise measurement, but entrepreneurialism is like delivering an adequately constructed building to alter the city skyline.
If a city were ever built only with such sketches, it would only collapse in the first storm. Today’s economic houses of cards are on display, ready to crumble at the slightest disturbance of winds. On the other hand, entrepreneurialism is the sturdy foundation that ensures the resilience of business models and structures and real-value creation and growth.
Needed is a clock: The centuries-old 9-5 working model has been almost dead for the last decade. Study the performances of the super economic power nations. The 24-hour working model does not require each person to work 24 hours but requires the enterprise to be alive and breathing 24 hours on each day of the year. What is needed is the national mobilization of entrepreneurship. Only entrepreneurialism can outperform the numbering games of economic schools by accurate hardcore deliveries of ideas that are transformed into mammoth enterprises. The response is not about next week but the next minute. The message is not about thumbs-ups but an articulated dialogue leading to immediate action plans.
Needed is a calendar: Every day of the year, there is a holiday on any given day in some country. Since the lands before times, the sun, every second of the day, is constantly rising somewhere around the world. Forget the previous lost decade; find your sunrise. Find the fulcrum, balance the lever, apply human intelligence, create a dynamic economy, mobilize national citizenry on entrepreneurship to uplift all high-opportunity SME sectors, and find the best team to turn around the economic powers. Like yesterday. If meetings and planning take months or when email takes weeks and responses are only cordial emojis, for lack of content, the rate of progress in any department could be better. From the computer age of the last decades to the current global age, speed’ can be compared to what was once ‘milking-cow speed’ to ‘high-speed bottling’ plants. Prepare seriously for an “instant response’ world, like an on-and-off switch. Test your departments on this desk-by-desk and floor-by-floor and get shocked by your potential swimming abilities in such rivers. The human mind is limitless and instant. Get off the push-cart; re-learn to drive it like a formula car.
What needs to be fixed?
The National Grassroots Prosperity turned into National Grassroots Fires.
The Elections are only selections as cyclical makeovers.
The University education is an unproductive loss and a liability.
The Economy is broken from the outside, inside, and all around.
The governments are silent and scared to open any candid debates.
The Bureaucracies are afraid of and waiting for the wrath of AI.
What is stopping?
The absence of entrepreneurial mysticism in corner offices
The unbalanced mindsets on economic development floors
The wrong definitions of SMEs and mismatched information
The absence of digitization of national vertical economic sectors
The absence of national mobilization of entrepreneurialism
The absence of orientation and training on such topics
Needed is a Checklist: Ten Steps of Recommended Recoveries
One: It takes ten days to design, develop, and customize a digitalization program with particular entrepreneurialism-based training guidelines to uplift all high-potential SMEs nationwide.
Two: It takes another 30 days to custom-design deployment strategy for a National Administration and Mobilization of Entrepreneurialism (NAME Protocols).
Three: It takes another 30 days of customized developments to implement well-planned, sleek operations to uplift the entire high-potential SME economy.
Four: It takes an additional ten days to test and assess the true potential and identify existing talents of all current national economic development teams.
Five: It takes another ten days to orient, train, and align the various local and national economic development teams, achieve clarity, and reach consensus on procedures.
Six: It takes another 100 days to identify, categorize, and digitize 5000 to 50000 potential SMEs.
Seven: It takes another 100 days to place them on customized digital platforms to expand them nationally and globally for exports and trade.
Eight: It takes 365 days of intense up-skilling and re-skilling to help them scale up and quadruple their productivity, performance, and profitability.
Nine: It takes about 500 days to quadruple exportability and uplift the national SME economy sectors.
Ten: A Cabinet-level meeting must make the “National Administration and Mobilization of Entrepreneurialism (NAME Protocols)” a national reality.
Key Strategies to Transform Economic Development on Fast Track
National Mobilization of Entrepreneurialism: For many years, Expothon Worldwide, a global initiative from this Canadian think tank, has been the trusted source of exclusive narratives on the ‘national mobilization of entrepreneurialism protocols.’ developed during the last decade. These insights, shared on a weekly basis, now reach some 2000 selected VIP recipients from the national cabinet-level government officials across 100 free economies. This track record of expertise and trust is the foundation of our proposed strategies. The step-by-step application of well-defined and proven methodologies helped create a grand-scale national agenda of up-skilling exporters and re-skilling manufacturers and mobilizing high-potential SMEs of the nation.
Global Hub: Currently, Expothon is developing a global hub to provide large-scale senior-level guidance to selected 100 free economies and blocs like GCC, OIC, European Union, African Union, ASEAN Commonwealth, and BRICS. This initiative aims to enhance the ‘National mobilization Entrepreneurship’ by offering nation-specific, customized deployment solutions. The Global Hub, fully equipped and prepared, will deploy 1000 experts with global digital accessibility to guide some 50-100 countries on managing their national SME base, upskilling exporters, and re-skilling manufacturers.
The potential benefits to the selected economies and blocs are immense, including quadrupling productivity, performance, and profitability and becoming a power play on the 10K to 100K high-potential SMEs within any nation, a game changer with the massive global activity of micro-trade, micro-exports, and micro-manufacturing.

Global Strategies 2030: The Entrepreneurialism & Global Political Economics
Who are Alpha Dreamers? Are you one of them, too?
When faced with productivity challenges, it’s crucial to remember that it’s all about value creation, a key entrepreneurial trait. No other automated substitute can match the growth potential of entrepreneurship. All grand global enterprises’ ideas trace back to original entrepreneurial initiations. Adopting a proactive approach and acting now is imperative to overcome economic challenges.
This narrative is not against economic intellectualism but rather an invitation, with respect and acknowledgment of the current economic difficulties pushing all into critical situations. So long as the billion SMEs are breathing and hoping to change the face of their nations, this is a focal point to collaborate with entrepreneurial mysticism and figure immediately deployable program solutions, especially what national mobilization of entrepreneurialism has to offer to 100 free economies of the world, more on Google,
Three Red Alerts:
First, the failure to grasp the ‘mindset hypothesis,’ particularly the distinction between the job seeker and job creator mindsets, should be a cause for immediate concern in any senior-level dialogue on SME economic recovery. Both mindsets are essential for great success; today, 99% of all economic development teams are only job-seeker mindsets. This is a sign of a national crisis, nation by nation.
Second, it must articulate that the ‘National Mobilization of Entrepreneurialism’ is the second red alert in any significant economic development activity.
Third, failing to produce functional regional models of ‘identification, categorization, and digitization’ of potential SMEs is the third red alert of any SME sectoral policies—more on Google.
A quick audit of any national economic development will tell a surprising story.
The rest is easy
