I love small business owners. I know this sounds kind of sappy, and as the President of the National Association for the Self Employed I probably notice this kind of thing more than most, but it really makes me proud when I see that entrepreneurial spirit. I was out this past weekend and saw a local high school band having a car wash. I pulled in and let them do their best. But that wasn’t the sappy part. There were three kids, maybe 8 years old, who had set up lemonade and iced tea stand. Right there in the heat!
I know what you are thinking…Kids, lemonade…that’s not business. But to me, it was real business. They saw a need and found a way to meet that need. That is what you guys do every day. That is what small business does every day. Yes, sappy, but oh man, I love small business. Wonder if they will need help filing a tax return?
