Comments on: Are You A Big Business Bigot? http://bigbrightbulb.com/2009/05/are-you-a-big-business-bigot/ Ideas & tools for tiny businesses with tinier budgets Fri, 10 Sep 2010 06:30:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Ontario http://bigbrightbulb.com/2009/05/are-you-a-big-business-bigot/#comment-7254 Ontario Sun, 21 Jun 2009 00:16:46 +0000 http://bigbrightbulb.com/?p=978#comment-7254 I think it is easy to look at a Wal-Mart coming into your town as an enemy. If I was a small business owner though I would almost relish the challenge of dealing with an issue like that. There are ways to survive the shadow of the big box stores - finding a good niche is a good start. I also find it funny that small business owners would not like big business, because which small biz owners out there don't want to be big? Maybe it is just me, but I want my business to succeed and grow to be HUGE. That is why I put in sleepless days and tiring weeks. <abbr><em>Recent blog post from Ontario: <a href="http://519biz.com/2009-shelburne-heritage-festival/" rel="nofollow">2009 Shelburne Heritage Festival</a></abbr></em> I think it is easy to look at a Wal-Mart coming into your town as an enemy.

You don't even want to get me started on Walmart, but their philosophy is all about making money and getting bigger. It disturbs me the number of "mom and pop" shops that they have destroyed in their quest for more and more market share. Small businesses tend to value every consumer that they get, so they focus more on keeping their customers happy, but at some point this ideal becomes lost in the quest for the almighty dollar.

It has nothing to whether you are small or big, its about your business and how you conduct yourselves. A big business has got to start somewhere?

If you want to set a huge business you need to be successful in your small business. I agree to"Cake Top" for stating successful big business you should have huge experience in your small business. After experience is a good teacher. Big business needs a lot of investment. If you want to set a huge business you need to be successful in your small business.

There are delays with paying out wages, reducing wages because employees did something wrong. How don’t they understand that utility bills do not wait, rental fees cannot be shifted.

The most important thing is that you can learn a many things from you small business before starting a big one. It is very risky to start a new big business without having any kind of experience.

The businesses that grow successfully are the ones who remember the values that helped make them successful as a small business and apply those to their growing business.
