            What is success? According to Webster’s online site, it is a favorable or desirable outcome.  In most businesses, success is often measured by how big or large a company is, but Jamie Walters dare to think differently.  In her book, Big Vision, Small Business, she goes in detail about strategies for small businesses to stay small, but remain vital, healthy, and rewarding.  The objective of this book is to redefine success, no in terms of revenue and numbers, but in ways that affect and change our communities.

            In today’s culture, we tend to give success a materialistic value.  “The bigger the company’s payroll or revenues, the more it consumes, then the more successful it – and its leaders must be.”  Many of our small business make contributions and positive changes to our neighborhoods, cities, and even our country.  According to Walters, some of the smallest businesses offer opportunities through ideas, lifestyles, innovations, and different practices, many things large corporations cannot or even will not.  She’s not necessarily saying that one, small or large, is better than the other, but there are different strokes for different folks and for her small is better. She believes big vision small businesses have four “keys” to being successful.

The first key is about engaging in inspired visioning and planning.  This key outlines the twelve priorities of big vision, small business.  It also answers questions like “How do you, as a business owner, want others to experience your enterprise?” and “How does your business affect your community?”

Paul Hawken wrote the book “Growing a Business.” He was able to learn first-hand about the do’s and don’ts of having his own business. He was pushed into his first business with little interest in business. Hawken was hindered with asthma at six weeks old. He needed a special diet and found it hard to find unless he was willing to spend several hours shopping or spending money on high-priced foods. Therefore, he opened the first natural foods store in Boston.

Hawken mentions in the book that thirty seven percent of all employed men and nearly half of the working women want or intend to start a business. The future of American business is standing at the threshold, not sitting in the boardrooms. “Growing a Business” is a book about growing business and the term “growing” implies about paying attention to the world around us, learning from others, and changing ourselves.

Hawken believes that American businesses employ our people, maintain and raise the standard of living, and give us the technical and practical means to solve our problems. Being a good human being is good business. The self-owned and -operated business is the freest life in the world. Being in business is not about making money but a way to become who we are.

When deciding to open a business, one must begin at the beginning. They must be able to understand what a business plan is and be willing to give it all with the whole body, mind, and soul. One must know all the fundamental details in order to give them away later.
