For more than 50 years, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners.

More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year.

As part of National Small Business Week, the U.S. Small Business Administration takes the opportunity to highlight the impact of outstanding entrepreneurs, small business owners, and others from all 50 states and U.S. territories. Every day, they’re working to grow small businesses, create 21st-century jobs, drive innovation, and increase America’s global competitiveness.

Always Learning

I believe that it is important to always learn and towards that end, I have found that the U.S. Small Business Administration is a great resource to learn valuable skills. The best part is that they offer the training online and for free.

I found this course on Customer Service and thought about how many times I have gone into a business and received poor service. I would like to see businesses utilize the resources that are out there to help their employees learn how to help others in an efficient manner.

Well, I just thought some people might find this information helpful and decided to share. Thank you for your time.
