The spirit it takes to start a small business

Small businesses are extremely important to our economy. In fact, the 28 million small businesses in America account for 54% of all U.S. sales. Small businesses also provide 55% of all jobs in the U.S. That’s why the not-for-profit Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) around the nation are dedicated to helping entrepreneurs realize their dreams. America’s SBDC President and CEO Tee Rowe teams up with Jason Dorsey, one of the nation’s top researchers into the generational attitudes of various groups, like Millennials and Gen Z. Together they share some timely and important information from a new report from The Center for Generational Kinetics and the SBDC that provides some surprising results.

WHAT YOU WILL SEE & LEARN FROM THE NEW America’s SBDC STUDY:

  • MOTIVATED MILLENNIALS-The Millennial mindset is the most entrepreneurial. In fact, 49% of Millennials intend to start their own business in the next 3 years
  • MONEY RESOURCE-Learn the latest resources available to new entrepreneurs and how much money it really takes to start a business
  • PLAN AHEAD-41% of Americans would quit their job and start a business in the next 6 months with the right tools and resources
