The
ICCSF Membership helped me to reduce my taxes! Trying to sell a pleasure boat
is a frustrating endeavor.
At
a monthly ICCSF meeting I talked to Fred Gruen from the American Institute of
Marine Studies about my problem.
After
a brief inspection of my boat he came up with an immediate cash part for a deal
that also gave me additional tax deduction opportunities for $140,000.00. I liked
the proposal and the boat was sold.
Needless
to say, without the ICCSF I am sure I'd still have to spend money on maintenance
and hope to find a serious buyer.
This
is just one example how membership in ICCSF can benefit, in running my own marketing
business I have good reason to recommend to all my clients and friends the ICCSF
as an excellent business and networking platform.

I
have been a member of the International Chamber of Commerce South Florida since
the time of its inception. In this time I have not only developed excellent business
relations, but also developed great business friends and personal friends through
the Council.Because of its diverse activities, one is able to develop many profitable
business relations.The monthly mini-seminars with their diverse themes are very
well organized. They are short, precise and down to the point. They are never
boring.Through their outreach activities across the Atlantic, the ICCSF allows
the American business person to develop meaningful connections to Europe. Vice
versa European business people are able, through the club, to develop a foothold
in the American market.I sincerely recommend the German Business Council of Florida
as a first contact to every business man as well as private person that wishes
to expand his business, or wants to establish a new business venture here in the
US.

My name is Jorg Hruschka
Recently a business associate and friend asked me how my affiliation with the
ICCSF has affected my personal and professional life. First I thought: what a
strange question. But on closer reflection, I realized that my participation in
ICCSF activities has deeply enriched and in some instances really changed my life
on both levels. Maybe I should begin with the impact on my personal life. I was
born and raised in Germany and came to South Florida in 1981 at the age 17. Life
has always been a great adventure. Ultimately I realized that there is a significant
cultural difference between the American and German attitude and way of thinking.
This is especially true when it comes to the concepts of integrity, commitment
and doing what you said you are going to do, doing it right and on time. I do
have to admit that I succumbed to the relaxed South Florida life style and the
manana attitude. Being a participating member of the ICCSF and associating
with fellow German business owners has helped me to reconnect with the important
value systems of timeliness, precision, dedication, honesty, commitment and reliability
that has been such a strong part of my European upbringing. Over the years I have
made great friends here who live by these values and conduct business the same
way. However, the most significant impact has been the superb quality of presentations
that have been featured during the monthly meetings. As an example, a presentation
done by Cynthia Greenwalt-Cerevalt two years ago about quantum networking
has changed my life. It took my understanding and commitment to nurturing both
personal and business relationships to a new level. Also the recent marketing
presentation by Brian Gibson has really influenced my thinking and networking
with members has created a multitude of new business relationships and exciting
opportunities. Therefore, I am looking forward to be a contributing participant
in the ICCSF, because it has enriched my life in so many subtle ways. I invite
anyone to come to the monthly meetings and to become an active member of the ICCSF
and consequently part of the vibrant German business community. The bigger the
game, the greater the gains and you cannot win, if you do not play.
