"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together." Those words by artist Vincent Van Gogh ring true today from a small business perspective, as the backbone of our economy is built on small and medium-sized companies.
Nationwide, small businesses employ nearly half of the American workforce and account for 99.9% of all U.S. companies. And, in South Carolina, small business is big business - boosting prosperity and the overall well-being of our citizens.
To celebrate and encourage supporting these businesses, Small Business Saturday is next weekend. Trailing Thanksgiving and Black Friday, November 30 will mark the 10-year anniversary of the annual holiday shopping tradition.
기업가 정신은 미국의 꿈을 실현하는 원동력이며, 그 비전의 뿌리에는 소규모 기업이 있습니다. So, next Saturday and beyond, we encourage support of all the local businesses within our borders. Your year-round support - not just on one day - promotes a more vibrant, prosperous community. When one business succeeds, that helps lay the foundation for an economy that holds promise for everyone.
