‘Keys’ to small business and/or community group success

November’s ‘Ignite!’ e-newsletter ‘for enterprising young people’ tells us that “as workers, people are predominantly driven by either:
1) achievement(producing results);
2) power (ego and status);

I was reminded of a small business management quote from light years ago:

“There are two factors that have a major influence on business success, summarised in a ‘formula’:
