Hello Friend,

It's National Small Business Week!  Make sure that you do what you can to support those you know that are in business, whether it be visiting their location, using their services, or sharing their marketing on social media.  At any given time 1 out 100 Americans is STARTING a new business, and the NUMBER ONE determinant of their success, is literally how the OTHER 99 respond. Let's do our part!
