Is it click bait?
To be fair, click bait isn't my plan. In fact, I think it's important that we separate the small business trends for 2021 that matter to us as owners from the 'trends' over which we have no agency, no resources to follow or that simply don't apply.
Let's figure out which windmill to chase!

Small Business Priority | 4Get 2020 Time to Move On
2020 is finally over. There will be plenty of blogs, podcasts, articles and videos reviewing 2020 and predicting 2021. Not here... not today.
As small business owners, we need to focus on what IS... NOW and figure out what needs to be done at this moment in time to move our business forward.
Your time is a limited resource. How do you know what to work on? I'm going to throw out a quick way to think about what matters to you now and some tips to keep it at the top of mind.
Let’s get… focused!

What is a Small Business?
Over the years I've come across a lot of misinformation about what it means to be a small business. Sometimes people think it's determined by the number of employees, sometimes by revenue, even by the corporate structure. As we'll see below it's actually easy to understand why there is confusion identifying what is a small business.
Defining Small Business
So, if there's so much confusion around how to define a business as small then how can we go about doing it correctly?
The good news here is that while it isn't as easy as a single criterion that we can point to, there is a place we can go to find out exactly how to classify our own business as small or not.
There are three pieces of information that you're going to need to put all of this together.
Your NAICS Code
The Number of Employees
Average Annual Revenue (based on three years)
Once you have those three pieces of information you'll be able to get the right answer for answering the question... "What is a small business?" at least, for your case!

You've come up with a great business idea. You've started your business and things are going great when out of the blue a great potential customer asks: "What's your export control code?"
Don't know? You're not alone and export control is just one of the seemingly endless regulations that may (or may not) apply to your small business.
Let’s get… regulated!
In short, small businesses are regulated by largely the same laws that regulate larger organizations. The only difference is that there may (or may not) be provisions in those laws that allow small businesses to bear a lighter burden in some ways. While there may be some provision for small business in the regulatory environment, it is equally true that small businesses are still required to adhere to regulations that cross a wide variety of areas which we'll cover.
I want to dispel the myth that forgiveness rather than permission is a risk that small business owners should avoid. It is better to ask for implementation than forgiveness... every time.

It's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work!
Physics in Business. At first, it might not seem like the two are closely connected. I've found that the principles we use to describe our physical universe often have parallels in the business world.
The power of leverage in business is often thought of as a negative. Something used to push someone else down in a negotiation or to artificially inflate value. These are the uses of leverage that we won't be talking about here. We are going to talk about the necessity of leverage and why understanding it and, in fact, embracing it is elemental to creating, operating, and sustaining a valuable business.
Let’s get… leveraged!

I put a lot of effort into running and growing my business. I'm sure you do too!
What do we get for that effort? I'm not talking about. the long-term effects of our actions resulting in new revenue or market growth.
What reaction do we expect from this particular action?
Let’s get… mechanical!

If you picked two words to describe entrepreneurship they would very likely be longly and busy. Really... REALLY busy!
I can speak from personal experience that being a small business owner can leave you feeling alone as well as fill your time with a stream of seemingly critical tasks.
How can entrepreneurs like you find kindred spirits that share common experience AND get the opportunity to work ON your business by accomplishing focused work?
Let’s get… into the FLOW!
