Jodhan It is becoming more and more important for small businesses to find ways to both post business opportunities as well as to find them. There is no doubt that we are living in very hard times and the more that we can find ways to cooperate with each other the better it is going to be for all of us. I am specifically referring to the small business community. We need to find ways to partner up so to speak. We need to create avenues of opportunity for each other. For make no bones about it; the future of our economy will definitely lie in the hands of the small business community and this is going to be more so after we have managed to weather our economic crisis. The time is now and ripe for the small business community to start making its mark. Things are changing and it is quickly shifting in favor of small businesses. Gone are the days when big businesses ruled the roost. The landscape is changing and it all has to do with this present recession which has managed to change the way both individuals and companies are thinking when it comes to finding ways to cooperate in the name of economic survival. If anything, this recession has taught us that in order to be able to survive in the big bad ocean we need to band together.
