Celebrate National Women's Small Business Month

Didn't you know that women make the world go 'round?! October is National Women's Small Business Month and it's the perfect time to support women-owned businesses and celebrate the achievements of female entrepreneurs everywhere.

There are so many interesting facts about women-owned businesses, but here are a few worth highlighting. As of this year:

• The U.S. has 12.3 million women-owned businesses (compared to only 402,000 in 1972!)

• Women-owned businesses generate 1.8 trillion per year in the U.S.

• 40% of U.S. businesses are women-owned.

• There are 114% more women entrepreneurs than there were 20 years ago.

How can you support small women-owned businesses? Very easily:

• Buy from them

• Promote their business on social media

• Send them a referral

• Celebrate their successes

Here are some of my very favorite small women-owned businesses. Some of the hardest working women you will meet. Check them out!
