10 Ways to Make Small Business Week Count

BDC tweet Small Business make up 99.8% of companiesIt's nearly the end of BDC Small Business WeekTM  (Oct 20-26), and besides talking to myself, I haven't had one conversation about the state of small business, their value to our communities, or participated in a learning opportunity or networking event! Not for lack of time, but rather for lack of attention.
