November 17-24th is Global Entrepreneurship Week, which began in 2007 with 37 countries participating and has since risen to over 140 countries. Next week is “the world’s largest celebration of the innovators and job creators who launch startups that bring ideas to life, drive economic growth and expand human welfare” (gew.org). On this day, entrepreneurs are encouraged to thank their mentors and spread awareness through sharing their experiences. 

There will be events going on across the country to fuel interest and help people take their entrepreneurial endeavors to the next level. Start ups help create jobs, innovate industries, and help stimulate the economy overall, so it’s important to keep interest and achievability alive. These events can help shape potential business ideas through seminars, and create networking opportunities along the way that could even lead to finding investors. 

With each new success story, others decide to take the leap and start their dream business. So during this week, I hope entrepreneurs take a minute to share tips on how to achieve success when starting your own business to those aspiring to do the same.
