Happy Entrepreneurship Month!

Hello and Happy November!

Fall is in full swing, and Pumpkin Spice Lattes are being promoted at both Starbucks & Dunkin' Donuts! Just google "pumpkin spice" and see what comes up. From recipes to promotions, when you think of the fall season, pumpkins are the THING!

While I love pumpkin spice and everything nice... I also realize that there are trends happening and as small businesses, we're leaving money on the table by not capitalizing on the fun opportunities that are for us to engage with!

So with two months left in 2022, what are you doing to make sure you CAPITALIZE on OPPORTUNITIES to advance your business?

November is full of opportunities to create trending promotions. Below are a few ways you can ramp up your business for a great start to 2023.
