• …The only difference between big corporations and small businesses are the size and a few commas and zeros on the P & L statement?
• …You should adopt a stellar business practice no matter what your organizational size?
• …You should stay true to your mission statement...it is your brand?
• …Always deliver on your deliverables?
• …Take full advantage of the benefits and opportunities for small businesses?
