Beginning Monday, September 21st, we celebrate"National Small Business Week".
It is also a time to honor the entrepreneurial spirit, celebrate how far Small Business has come, and realize how far we still need to go.
Sponsored by the Small Business Administration, this annual event began as a way to recognize our nation's top small business owners and those who support and advocate for small business.
"As part of National Small Business Week, the U.S. Small Business Administration takes the opportunity to highlight the impact of outstanding entrepreneurs, small business owners, and others from all 50 states and U.S. territories. Every day, they’re working to grow small businesses, create 21st century jobs, drive innovation, and increase America’s global competitiveness".
Learn more about the events slated for Small Business Week, both around our nation and online, on the SBA Website!
All entrepreneurs have a story. While many are similar ~ we wanted to be our own boss or needed more flexibility ~ there are also others whose stories are more unique.
I started my small business, Access Profiles, Inc., for many of the usual reasons. I wanted the opportunity to be there while my children were young and still earn some money to contribute to the family.
While that continued to be a driving motivation, it is what I learned about myself along the way that really surprised me.
I discovered my true strengths and weaknesses, and how to make them work for me and my business. I also found how important it was to build a strong relationship with my clients ~ one based on trust, communication, and honesty.

But no matter what, every entrepreneur's story is interesting.
While that continued to be a driving motivation, it is what I learned about myself along the way that really surprised me.

First and foremost, entrepreneurship has been a journey.
It is a journey filled with many twists and turns, times of doubt and sacrifice. But I would not have had it any other way! You can find more about my story in "What I have Learned Starting My Own Business"!
