I agree absolutely - there's hope for small-town entrepreneurs and small businesses.

With the growth of social media and digital marketing, it's easier than ever for ideas to spread no matter where they happen to be physically located.

In fact, I think that sometimes coming from a small place can allow you to make a big impact (a big fish in a small pond, as it were) and gain experience of bootstrapping faster than if one is from a larger city.

It also allows for intimate personal connection with your market and a chance to really solidify your niche before expanding into more competitive markets.

Obviously this does depend on the individual product or service, but there's no reason for small-town entrepreneurs and businesses to be downhearted!
