My dear friend Dayana taught me that golden rule. What she rings in your ears as a financial advisor for the Motley Fool for the individual, I pass along to you, the business owner.

The small stuff gives the framework of your business a solid foundation on which to grow.

The small stuff allows you to focus on what you do best, the reason why you started a business in the first place.

The small stuff will reap you financial rewards in the long run.

The small stuff will make you look like big stuff when up against the giants in your industry.

OK, so what is the small stuff?! I will break down some of the important elements of the framework of your business, the small stuff, and give you winning ideas on how and why you need to sweat the small stuff.
