To be honest I don’t buy a lot now for the business, but if I did I think I would try to buy as much as possible from people who I am acquainted with online.

For instance, if I needed hosting it would probably be via 1 of at least 3 hosts who I know about via forums, if I wanted any Web development done it would be people via forums, if I wanted something from the garden it would be via  acquaintances on a business park I visit, if I wanted an electician it would be a guy from the rugby club, if I wanted a plumber it would be a neigbour, if I wanted some printing doing it would be one of the printers I’ve helped out with a directory listing, etc., etc., etc.

This got be thinking, if I’m like this why isn’t everyone else, especially the dozen or so people who I need stuff off.

What everyone should be doing is having little 20-20 clubs in their own areas, if you need anything you use one of the suppliers in your 20 20 club, if they want something they do the same and in effect you build up a little network small businesses effectively networking together, working together and selling to each other.
