Thanks for sharing this post on BizSugar. Gosh, I hope it's possible to find small business success without being a jerk! I know you have to be firm with customers, suppliers, partners, and employees sometimes. My hope is that all small business owners and aspiring small business owners will work to be direct in their communications while always maintaining civility.
