It’s been a wild year for small businesses. We’ve had to deal with lock downs, cancellations, overhauls and so much uncertainty. Sometimes it feels like we are facing a new challenge every single day.
We’ve also received a huge amount of support from our networks and communities and found new ways of doing things that will have us ready to bounce back even better.
I want to say a personal THANK YOU to everyone who has helped out their local small business people this year – whether it be by making a purchase, recommending us, resharing us, sending us sweet thank you notes or just letting us vent – you kept us going through the most stressful year of our lives.
Please take a look at some of my favourite items from small businesses.
