UNITE
If all small business owners were united into a community whose aim is to support each other, the world would be a better place.
Small business supports local sport, culture and community.
Business owners have a vested interest in making sure their communities have good infrastructure.
Small business is the economic life of most communities by providing jobs, buying goods and services, and making goods and services available.
Therefore, the more successful small business is, the better our communities can be. This applies all over the world and is the reason that the Acumen Fund and Kiva are such important charities.
It sure feels like running a small business is a tough road. Why is that?
If we worked together, small business would be more successful.
Support other small business by recognizing that none of us are competitors, we all want to help, the more you give the more you get in return. Share advice/resources/ideas. Buy from your community.
