Small Business Matters | Being a Team Player in the Local Movement

Today on my Facebook page I re-shared this graphic, again. Not because I wanted to get more mileage out of one graphic, but because this same concept continues to crop up again and again. It's not rocket science to realize that if you wish to have area residents coming into your business to support YOU, then inevitably you will need to do the same. "What goes around" holds true in networking, community relationships and reciprocal business interactions. This is a good thing! Just make sure you are not the one always on the "expecting" end of things but rarely going out to show other independents the same type of support.
