Join me for National Small Business Week!

National Small Business Week is celebrated during the first week of May every year and takes place from May 1 to 7 this year. This week aims to honor the entrepreneurs of our country who have played their part in bringing new ideas to life and growing our economy.?

Different events are hosted in different places, and top entrepreneurs from every state are given awards for their performances. Apart from recognizing the top entrepreneurs, the goal of this week is also to encourage small business owners to learn online marketing skills?and strategies to scale up their business operations.

In 1963, after the proclamation from President John F. Kennedy, the first National Small Business Week was created. After this inaugural celebration, the week became an annual practice to encourage and inspire small business owners to seek training and learn from the success stories of top performers. The goal was for newer business owners can emulate the same practices to ensure their own success.

There are 31 million small businesses in the U.S., which roughly make up around 99% of all the businesses in the country and provide 60% – 70% of net new jobs. If you are a small business owner, you are a Superhero, and I want to invite you to three special events I’m hosting this week to help you grow your business.
