A small business is not a big business that hasn’t grown up yet.
Small businesses have the ability to make significant impacts on the communities around them and the communities within them.
They do not have the ability to make the type of societal impact that big businesses can (think McDonalds).
The beauty of small business is that it has an owner who can make a decision in consultation with the people on the ground.
In a small business you get to change the direction quickly or react to situations and problems right in front of you.
You give this away when you become part of a big business.
Selling your small business to the big business is one thing, it gets you the cash you think you ‘deserve’ but be under no illusion.
As soon as you become part of a big business, your part of a big business.
Big business isn’t better, it’s just different (and arguably worse in many cases).
You probably won’t change the whole world in a small business, but you might change a little bit of it, drip by drip by drip.
