Who are they?  What to Look for In Employees of a Small Business

Another trait that is helpful when working with a small business, especially an entrepreneurial one, is flexibility. 

Flexibility - Because you, entrepreneurs, change your minds a lot.  And it might not seem like a sudden change to you, because you had time to work it through in your mind and you’ve probably been mulling it over for a while and just forgot to mention it to anyone else. 

And even the best laid plans will change.  It is one of the things that gives small businesses such a competitive advantage, we can adapt very quickly to things that are changing.  And flexible people tend to be able to “take it.”  Because in a small business sometimes things are going to suck and if you aren’t able to suck it up for a while and adapt to the situation you will be miserable, and you will leave.
