If you are a small business and your area has been devastated by a large category hurricane like any of those that happened during the 2005 Atlantic tropical hurricane season then you know that you must rebuild your business. This means you need to get out get business, as many of your customers who were providing cash flow for you and your family are no longer customers and may never return to the area.

If you are in a small business you're part of the community and you must help rebuild the community, as that is your responsibility. Sure you can get out of town and even take your business and knowledge and experience and move somewhere else to start again. But this will not satisfy you nor is the right thing to do. And you probably know that.

Now then, let me tell you that the community that works together stays together and those businesses, which support the community stay in business over the long haul and that is what is all about. If are in a small business the best thing you can do is get with a service club and help rebuild the town and while you're doing that be sure to make contacts and network with other small-business owners and local community professionals to insure that you have all the future customers you need once your store and small business is backup and running again.

You may think that working for free to help rebuild the community is a tough way to go on your lifestyle. But by doing the right thing in networking along the way you can make it all worthwhile in the long run and everyone will win together including the community that you love, work in and that has provided you so many years in your successful small-business. Trust your community and consider all this in 2006.
