Share Your Small Business Story This National Entrepreneurship Month

November 7, 2022

We’re inviting you to share your entrepreneur story for a chance to be featured in our newsletters, social media content, and more.

November is full of days of acknowledgment, celebrations, and moments to shine. Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Int’l Men’sMen’s Day, Cyber Monday, Trans Day Of Remembrance. Those are fantastic one-day events, but all 30 days this month are also dedicated to YOU! National Entrepreneurship Month celebrates entrepreneurs like you who impact their community and the economy.

National Entrepreneurship Month is a time to put your brand, business, and story on the map, connect with new and returning clients or supporters, and show people why you love what you do and how you serve your community.

As you know, Start Small Think Big exists to help small businesses and entrepreneurs grow and succeed. To honor all of the incredible entrepreneurs out there, we want to hear from you!

We’re launching a social media video campaign where entrepreneurs can submit videos about their small business stories via social media. Enter the challenge by answering our campaign questions and engaging in, tagging, and using campaign hashtags. At the end of the month, we’ll select the best ones, feature them in a blog post, and share them across our newsletters with over 20,000 people.
