“Small Business� “Mom & Pop� “Home town businesses� These folks generate almost all the jobs in the U.S. and pay most of the taxes (Big companies in many cases pay no taxes, and the percentage of those that do continues to decline.) And, yet, the “little people� often don’t get much respect. Why? I hate to say it, but they (I should say “we� since I’m a hired brain micro-biz) are sometimes our own worst enemy.As I note frequently in this blog, small biz has many advantages over big – if we choose to see (and act) that way. So, here’s an “oops, there I go again� checklist for all of us. Note that these things happen in really big companies too – small is a state of mind.
You’re thinking (and looking) small if:
- You “save money� by doing it all yourself.
- You “protect� yourself from your customers.
- You write and print all your marketing materials.
- You “nickel and dime� people.
