Helping entrepreneurs succeed: Entrepreneurship Month and Small Business Saturday

Entrepreneurs throughout Todd County, Minnesota are busy creating the newest products and innovations and strengthening our economy.

Business accomplishments in Minnesota and Todd County support the ranking of the United States as the world’s most entrepreneurial country in 2021. StartupBlink’s Global Startup Ecosystem Index 2022 ranked the U.S. as the country with the most business startups and a robust startup ecosystem. 

These U.S. startups often develop into small businesses. Small businesses made up 99.9 percent of U.S. businesses in 2021, so it’s essential to give those nearby mom-and-pop shops the recognition they deserve. That’s 32.5 million small businesses in the U.S. alone.

National Entrepreneurship Month takes place in November and National Entrepreneurs' Day is observed every third Tuesday of November, occurring this year on November 15. Both offer a time to celebrate the efforts of entrepreneurs in communities across the U.S. that better the economy locally and nationally. 

Entrepreneurs deserve recognition and support for several reasons. They produce new and improved goods, services, and ideas, while their businesses help with job creation. As more new companies are launched, more employment opportunities become available to the public.
