Happy Small Business Week to All!

By: Andrea Schuch
I recently joined the SBA group on Facebook and was excited to hear that last week was Small Business Week. If you read this blog often, you have probably figured out that there a system to what kind of posts I post in which weeks. Well, this time, I'm bucking the system - in your honor of course. Most of our designers (and our blog readers) are small businesses themselves and I think it is so important to honor all of us as we continue to plug along as owners, bookkeepers, salesmen and women (usually all at once). There are so many things in small businesses that go unrecognized and I would like to take this time to recognize you for all you do. While Small Business Week was actually last week, I think we can still celebrate, right? Small Business Week has been celebrated every year since 1963 to recognize the contributions of small businesses to the well-being of this country. More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, small businesses also create 60-80% of new jobs in the country - go us! And while there is actually a convention that converges in Washington DC every year, just because we aren't in attendance doesn't mean we can't celebrate - right? So give yourself a pat on the back and make sure you eat a nice big piece of cake!
