Make Your Small Business Shine Big and Bright
Tips from "The Most Successful Small Business In the World," Michael Gerber

A small business is a system in which all parts contribute to the success or failure of the whole. The consumer parts, financial parts, strategic parts, and tactical parts - all the various aspects of the business must mesh together.

A small business is no more effective than the idea upon which it is built. That means you must dream big. The idea you devise will be aggravating, because it demands you do something about it.
