October is Women’s Small Business Owner Month. Time to recognize the achievements of women, and support them, too.

Walking down Main Street in my town made me realize how many business owners of these storefronts are owned by women. Women – you are the backbone of our economy. It’s not just what I see in my town, either. Check out these stats regrading female business owners – women:

Own over 12 million women owned businesses
Generate over 1.8 trillion dollars per year
Own 40% of US businesses
Only receive 7% of venture funds for their startups

And, there are 114% more female entrepreneurs than there were last year. During a pandemic, no less. Just saying.

Female business owners, I applaud you, and learn from you.

Here’s to your success.
