The Write Way OC presents:

The Small Business Survival Guide


Part I: It’s All About Who You Know

A small business needs many things to survive, not the least of which is the command of a serious arsenal of business professionals to help when things come up.  Unfortunately, there aren’t as many reliable professionals as one would hope.  In fact, in my experience, honest and reliable professionals are not so easy to come by.  It’s a horrible truth, one which we generally don’t like to speak about or acknowledge, but it is true nonetheless.  And it is because of this that The Write Way’s Small Business Survival Guide has come to fruition.

Although there are many other things a business owner needs to survive in their marketplace (two AA batteries, a flashlight, a good pen, and 4 rolls of toilet paper – but more on these items to come), perhaps the most important, is a team of people that can be relied on.  Below are just such people.  Use them, abuse them, and take advantage of their knowledge, expertise, and professionalism. I know I do.
