A lot to think about with this read but one thing is true across the board. Entrepreneurship is not reserved for one set of people, something we all have the right to engage in. “Entrepreneurship in America had been in a decades-long decline until the COVID-19 pandemic emerged. Then, as so many Americans lost their jobs, entrepreneurship had a sudden surge. But it was out of necessity, not because the path for entrepreneurs had become easier. The same polling shows that 92% of voters think it is difficult to start and grow a new business.” I speak with a lot of artists/creatives and one thing that keeps them from taking the step from hobbyist to business owner is the processes of filling out paperwork and understanding how to solidify their business on paper. Any creative or artist who I have spoken with about developing an Office of Entrepreneurship in our state (Arkansas) really light up at the idea. It’s beneficial on so many levels. Those of you who I am connected with here in this platform, I ask that you have a look at the Right to Start Statement of Principles, sign it, and pass it along within your network. Your support in this way helps us move the needle in making entrepreneurship truly a journey for all. https://lnkd.in/gsjyYrfm Right to Start

🌟 West Virginia's Evolution: Embracing Entrepreneurship! 🏞️ Right to Start Advocate Ariana Shives shares insights on the state's vibrant entrepreneurial culture, from the shops on Oak Street to the informal businesses on the roadside: 💡 "The challenge is to see entrepreneurship not as something new being imported from outside, but as something that is inherent to West Virginia – something that has been here all along and that needs to be celebrated and cultivated in new ways. It’s not a departure from West Virginia’s history; it’s an evolution of it." She also discusses how all West Virginians can support starters to launch and grow: 👉 "Often the entrepreneur is seen as a solitary figure: starting a business alone in the kitchen or the garage. But what’s needed is an infrastructure that supports, celebrates, and encourages new businesses and those who aspire to start them. What’s needed is a recognition that small businesses are the centerpiece of our economy and should be heralded as such." 📰 Read the full article here in the West Virginia Business Link: https://lnkd.in/ekQRVdsj 🌐💪 #LetUsStart #WestVirginia #entrepreneurship

Small businesses bring character to our neighborhoods, offering services, products, and experiences that reflect the diversity and richness of our city. Supporting entrepreneurship is more than an investment in businesses; it’s an investment in people, places, dreams, and ambitions.
