When I had a small business I always looked forward to Small Business Week. It was the one week of the year that the spotlight was shined onto the many of us,(383,300 of us in 2008) who decided to give self employment a try...and were in varying degrees: successful, happy, fed-up,or just trying hard to make a living...EVERY DAY!
I took this photo quite by chance. I was looking for a gas station on Fraser Highway in Langley, and I turned off on 216th...and came across this beautiful little house, that just happened to be a business as well. It made me think about what an asset that business was to that little corner, in the 'littler' hamlet of Murrayville. That business gave this house LIFE...and visa versa!
I also came across an article in the Vancouver Sun last week in the business section called: Entrepreneurship is a Vital Driver of Innovation. ( The Newspaper's View) Visit www.vancouversun.com, and you can read the whole article. It was a great snapshot of why people start businesses...and how important their drive is to our life here in Canada, and all over the world.
This week, take a minute and give some love to a local entrepreneur. This quote comes from the article in The Sun:
"Entrepreneurs not only find new ways to make money, they discover new ways to cure disease, distribute aid, improve public transit, educate children, travel in space, fight crime, feed the hungry,and erect energy-efficient buildings. They have spearheaded change in every human endeavour."
Good Luck to every, single one of them...
