Change. Seems to be such a dirty word in our
society today. I don’t mean slight change like, Monday I am going to
change the way I eat. I mean soul searching, soul wrecking possible weather
changing true life change. The change that strips you to the bone and then
forces you to rebuild yourself blood cell by blood cell.
Blame on the other hand seems to be a tried
and trusted way of behaving and being for Americans. I heard it reflected in my
children's voices when the crash comes from the other room followed by “ I didn’t’
do it.” We as American's and especially small business owners have to move in
the direction of change from blame. This morning I had the true pleasure of
experiencing a publication that is trafficking in true change. Rhode Island
Small Business Journal along with the North Kingstown Chamber hosted a
breakfast discussion at Up-Dikes Newtown in North Kingstown. Gill Lantini gave
the presentation launching this publication. The publication offers its readers
valuable information that targets issues small business owners are facing in
Rhode Island and delivers the information in an interactive and accessible way.
Yes the economy crashed and yes we are as
Americans in a recession; but as a business owner for the last 12 years I have
experienced all sorts of ups and downs. Here is what I have found to be reality
in business in 2012. No one is going to walk into your cave with a dead dragon
and pay you to take it off their hands. The 2012 business owner has to go
out and kill their own dragon and drag it home.
Here is where the innovation comes in: share that dragon with your
business friends and they share theirs with you. In return, we all eat. Rhode Island Small
Business Journal helps along small business while they hunt dragons.
