Some Lessons from the Big Guys
Here then are my top 5 big business lessons for small business:
- There’s Power in Numbers: The fatal flaw for many a small business is that they too often work in a vacuum.
- Be Thorough: Large corporations, for the most part, make decisions fairly slowly, and even then, only after fully analyzing a situation or opportunity.
- Think Ahead: As a result of that thoroughness, large companies tend to think and plan far more into the future than your average small business person.
- Use Specialists: One of the things I am most jealous of with regard to my big business brethren is the wide array of specialists they can tap when it comes to working on a project.
- Plan Big: Notice I did not say “Think Big.”
