This Nation Needs Your Business

On Monday we talked about the personal benefits of owning your own business. Today, I’m going to talk about the benefits for those around you of owning a business.
My desire through the Small Business Revival podcast is to inspire a movement of those who believe that the revival of small business can transform our communities.
In order for this transformation to happen, your small business must benefit those around you. I believe, without a shadow of a doubt, that you can make that happen. Your impact is greater than you think.
