I’m all for rooting for others. It gets my entrepreneurial spirit in gear. I always think: If they can do it, so can I.

I mentioned the SBA’s Small Business Week in an earlier blog. If you weren’t able to attend, here’s the information about the winner and runner-up of Small Business Person of the Year.

In my blog, Sometimes Business Owners Need a Pick-Me-Up, I mentioned that hearing positive stories from others like you can spark your flame and get the gears moving againg. Inspirational stories can inspire you to greatness. That’s why we share – so that others can know and feel the excitement and exhuberation of success that we sometimes feel.

Congratulations to John Stonecipher, Noah Leask and Kari Block. Their success and innovations are helping all small business owners. Their success is our success.
