In Carol Tice’s article for Entrepreneur magazine, she culled stacks of forecasts to create a Top 10 List of Small Business Predictions for 2012. What struck me most was the 10th prediction, because it was hers and mine.

10. Companies that collaborate with each other and help each other have a better chance of prospering.

Why? Because jointly:

We have more opportunities.

We have a broader range of services to offer.

We have the ability to work in reciprocity.

It extends our individual business networks.

The synergy can lead to inventive, new revenue opportunities.

And..

As a result of working with other companies, you become the one they think about when an opportunity arises.
