Most small business owners are actually innovators and don’t even know it!

Mostly because they do not consider themselves innovators, which is unusual because in a lot of  cases they have to be creative by necessity.  And creativity leads to breakthroughs in innovation and new ways of doing things. That was actually a key finding in the latest installment of the Intuit Future of Small Business Report. The study found that small business owners are natural innovators.

According to the report small businesses have six inherent advantages that make it easier and simpler to be innovative:

1. Personal passion
2. Customer connection
3. Agility and adaptation
4. Experimentation and improvisation
5. Resource limitations
6. Information sharing and collaboration

What does this mean?

Remember to not sell yourself or your business short. You’re probably more creative than you think.

The  entire Report is available  Small Business Innovation at the Intuit Future of Small Business Report site.
