#StartSmall | Buy Women Owned Fall 2024

Big Dreams Start Small

Starting a business as a woman is no small feat—it’s a bold step into the unknown, often met with unique challenges that test the limits of perseverance.

From overcoming limited access to funding and resources to breaking through societal expectations, the barriers women entrepreneurs face may be steep, but they are far from insurmountable.

Despite these obstacles, women continue to rise, creating businesses that not only thrive but ignite inspiration in others. Each challenge becomes fuel for growth, and every step forward is a triumph of courage and resilience. By recognizing the challenges women business owners face, we can rally together to uplift and empower the women who, with passion and unwavering determination, pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. Their journeys are powerful, inspiring more women to turn small ideas into something extraordinary.

This year, the #StartSmall campaign takes center stage as we celebrate Women’s Small Business Month—a tribute to the relentless spirit of women entrepreneurs.

It’s a moment to honor the extraordinary women who dared to dream, starting with nothing but a bold idea and an unshakable belief in their potential. Creating amidst imperfect circumstances, fueled by passion and determination, they’ve pushed through every challenge.

Actively engage! Offer or seek mentorship, share your favorite women-owned businesses, and showcase their products on social media to help spread the word. Every contribution counts—whether it’s your time, your voice, or your support. It doesn’t have to be monetary; even a simple share can go a long way in amplifying the success of women entrepreneurs.

As a consumer, #StartSmall by supporting. As an entrepreneur, #StartSmall by creating.

This fall, embrace the spirit of the #StartSmall campaign by making a real difference! As a consumer, your support of women-owned businesses goes beyond purchases—every time you share their products or services with friends and family, you help fuel their dreams at no cost. As an entrepreneur, #StartSmall by taking that bold first step to create something, anything, that brings your vision to life. Every small action you take builds toward a future of growth, success, and empowerment.
