Prepare to shift your perspective on the small versus big business battle. As a small business owner and consumer, I peel back the layers on why chasing the shadows of retail giants isn't the only path to success. We'll explore the symbiotic relationship that can exist between small enterprises and big box retailers, identifying strategies for collaboration and coexistence that benefit both. I share insights on embracing our own strengths and finding innovative ways to leverage the buzz big retailers create—think Stanley's tumbler craze at Target—and how we can harness it through complementary offerings or clever affiliate programs. Dive into the realities of scaling a small business and the inherent pressures that come with trying to match the big players in terms of customer service, refunds, and employee management. I'll argue that these might not only deviate from our initial reasons for starting a business but can also derail our creativity and personal touch—the very essence of small business charm. We discuss how instead of competing, we can carve a unique niche, providing exceptional value and personalization that big box stores simply can't match. Join me as we uncover the strategies to let small businesses thrive by recognizing the strengths of larger companies, while keeping true to the entrepreneurial spirit that sets us apart.

Have you ever seen something created by another business that you love? You think, dang, why didn't I think of that? This product is selling well for this business. I want in on the profit. You love the idea so much that you think I can make this same thing and make money from it. You spend hours zooming in on the product, analyzing its makeup, or may even buy it to see it up close so that you can recreate it for yourself. That sounds exhausting beyond being unethical to directly knock off a product without any credit to the original ideator. Sounds icky, right?
