I wanted to take a minute to give a little shoutout to some of the local businesses that I continue to support, and who have supported me along the way.
These are people I know, businesses I trust, and places I genuinely recommend. Some I've worked with, some I've become friends with, and some just happen to be responsible for my terrible spending habits.
But there's a reason I keep going back to them.
Running a small business is hard. I know that firsthand. And with the way the economy is right now, I think we all need to be looking out for each other a little more.
With the holidays coming up, I really want to encourage everyone to think about where they're spending their money. Before you order from Amazon or head to a big box store, see if someone in your community offers what you're looking for.
And supporting local doesn't always have to cost you anything. Leave a review. Share a post. Tag a friend. Tell someone about a business you love.
It all makes a difference.
The reality is, these businesses won't necessarily be here forever. And I don't want us to get to a point where we're saying how sad it is that another local business has closed, when we could have been supporting them while they were still here.
So here's a little love for some of the people who have made a difference to me and my business. Thank you for what you do, and for being part of our community.
Now I want to hear from you. What local businesses deserve a little more recognition? Tag them below. I'd love to check them out, and hopefully others will too.
