Among the success strategies highlighted in "Becoming a Small Business Champion" are the following:

  1. Find your Niche:  It is important to find a niche in your target
     market.  As a small business it is impossible to be everything to
     everybody. Determine the key elements that your business has expertise
     in and be the best at providing that particular product or service.

  2. Your Advantage over Larger Corporations:  Focus on developing
     strategies that will maximize the strengths of your small business.
     Determine the key areas that provide you with an advantage over larger
     competitors and utilize those areas to your advantage. Common strengths
     for small businesses over larger competitors are the ability to
     customize services and the ability to develop personal and strategic
     relationships with customers.

  3. Vest your Employees in Growing the Business:    You must understand the
     value of having a great team. Ensure that all of your employees,
     vendors, suppliers and everyone that has a role in the business are in
     line with the company's vision and are committed to seeing the business
     succeed. Additionally, develop programs that will reward your team for
     their commitment to the company as this will work towards retaining
     great employees and see them vested in growing the business.
