Purchase A License To Use This Image Buy A Print Or Product Featuring This ImageA businessman stands on a small island, briefcase in hand, while sharks circle in the water. This businessman castaway makes a perfect metaphor for the extreme adversity and challenges that face businesses, particularly business that have failed to build and/or maintain networks and connections. In this Internet age the need for networks that can supersede the "sharks" and other dangers of the business world is compounded by the need for social media strategies and engagement.
It is often said that no man is an island, and this image takes that a step further indicating that no business is an island. It combines a potent message with humor, and the added drama of shark infested waters. This makes a great image for promoting and advertising the importance of connection and communities both within and without a given business.
Small business is indicated in this photo by the virtue of the island having only a single occupant. The sharks circling the man then can symbolize large businesses with predatory practices. The island represents the safety of the known, but a safety that is really a slow decline. Growth, and even survival depends on overcoming fear of the sharks and venturing forth, forging connections, and bringing in new business.
