ROLE OF SMALL SCALE BUSINESS IN DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL ECONOMY

ROLE OF SMALL SCALE BUSINESS IN DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL ECONOMY

Joseph Schumpeter (1940) declared investment in small scale business as a necessary condition for economic growth. Small scale business plays a vital role to the development of rural economics if not all other economics. One fundamental question that need to asked is have rural economics in Nigeria benefited maximally from small business as it is the casein other parts of the world? The most obvious answer to the above question is negative. Every concerned Nigeria would want to know why the role player by small scale business in development of rural economic in Nigeria is commensurate to what is obtainable in other parts of the world such as Brazil which was at a point in time categorized with Nigeria in terms of economic development, and whether the situation can be turned for the better.

There is no single criterion for classifying a business unit as small, medium or large. The terms small, medium and large are relative different from country to country, industry to industry, institution to institution and there is no unique or accepted definition of these terms.
It is of paramount importance to recognize the definition changes over a period of time depending to a large scale business in the 1950s may be regarded as small today.

Being successful, learn the power of autosuggesstion

Learn the power of breathing and its relationship with your energy source. The mind is intimately connected with your breathing. For example, when the mind is agitated, your breathing becomes quick and shallow. When you are relaxed and focused, your breathing is deep and calm. By practising deep, abdominal breathing, you will develop a calm, serene demeanour that will remain cool in the hottest of circumstances. Remember the rule of the Eastern mountain men: "to breathe properly is to live properly." 

Recognize and cultivate the power of autosuggestion. It works and is an essential tool in maintaining peak performance. We are all performers in one way or another and it is particularly valuable to use such techniques of athletes and public figures for our own enhancement. If you want to become more enthusiastic, repeat "I am more enthusiastic today and am improving this trait daily". Repeat it over and over. Purchase a legal notepad and write out this mantra 500 times. Do it for three weeks with regular practice and feel that this quality is developing. Very soon it will come. This is a strategy that Indian sages have employed for thousands of years to aid their spiritual and mental development.

Do not be discouraged if the results are not immediate, they will certainly develop. The spoken word is a powerful influencer of the mind. 30. Maintain a diary to measure your progress and to express your thoughts. Writing out not only your successes but your troubles is one of the world's most effective methods of erasing the worry habit, staying in optimum state and developing precision of thought.
