Entrepreneurship Week – how shall we celebrate?

By

The US Congress has established the very first National Entrepreneurship Week for March 2007, according to Inc. Magazine.

People are more aware of entrepreneurship than ever, but I don’t think people realize that it is the lifeblood of small towns and rural areas. Without entrepreneurship, we have almost no new jobs.

If you are involved in your local community, now is a good time to start on activities, especially educational ones, to promote local entrepreneurship, culminating in March. I’d love to hear about your efforts, so comment or email me.
