Small Business Week (General)

Last week was the SBA designated week for Small Businesses. The City of Orlando gave us a proclamation for our center declaring it small business week and we had an amazing number of events to support small businesses of all sizes. It was exhausting, but I had a great time and met some great entrepreneurs! The entire week was filled with reminders of how dedicated, diverse, and hard-working our small business community is and it renewed my vigor shop the "small business" to serve my needs whenever possible. We should consider every week, small business week when you consider buying something. When we support our small business community with our purchases, we foster an environment where small businesses start,thrive, and then we benefit from building our community with diverse businesses and a variety of local choices.. Have you shopped a local small business lately? Become intentional about your support of small businesses and you will be amazed at how we benefit as a community. Try it, you'll like it!
