Greetings!
The image of
Brains Beyond the Box
is more relevant now than when it was created last year. Now we need every brain cell firing to make a better future for for all of us. I am pleased to see that the needs and risks for very small independent businesses have become a major issue. These businesses which operate on passion and determination create nearly half of all jobs in the U.S., pay taxes and bring personality, originality and pleasure into our daily lives. The sustainability of this small business segment has been my passion for two decades.
These small and lower mid-market businesses that we love
are at great risk
. The
U.S. Chamber of Commerce e
s
timates that 25% of small businesses could close permanently in the coming months.
Support your favorite independent small businesses regularly in the coming months. Make the effort to order products and services, prepay for services or donate to a crowd funding page if the business has one.
