Over the last few weeks, we have been talking with small business owners.  This segment will focus on how small businesses can benefit from a community of supporters, including other businesses with whom they can establish a business-to-business relationship where they exchange products, services, or information between one another, rather than just between consumers. It takes a village to acquire the level of success that sustains a business and stimulate growth in that business as well as the community.
