Small business really should be called Mighty Business. That's what Greg Hyer (twitter.com/LinkingRaleigh) and Helen Yoest (twitter.com/GWConfidence) think. They just wrote out some steps for mighty business using Twitter. Check out Greg's blog post 12 Step Programs for Small Business Can Develop on Twitter! for the story. (I just reformatted it here for you're reading enjoyment.)

12 step program for Mighty Business

  1. Project the Power of One! Don't worry about pretending to be big, you are big!
  2. Realize that your customers will play "follow the leader" if you can get them to want to follow.
  3. Always say "We" even if you are a company of one.
  4. Believe of Spiritual Capitalism. Integrity & commitment are as important as profit & efficiency. http://bit.ly/QiwX4
  5. Don't promise something you can't deliver.
  6. If you do not enjoy what you do, re-evaluate your business and get back to basics. Try to find the love!
  7. charge a fee that the market bares, not proportional to size of your biz
  8. Never be too proud to ask for help if you feel you need it.
  9. Align yourself with others to complement what you do. Be ready to recommend someone when a client asks.
  10. Family comes first. You need to support them as much as you need their support.
  11. Brand yourself. Coke can do it, so can you.
  12. Become your customer's biggest asset. You should improve their business or life & in return it will improve yours.
