Have you ever considered yourself a revolutionary?  America is undergoing a new Revolution and it is being driven by independent businesses like you. Most Americans are not aware of the huge impact small businesses have on our economy.   According to a report by the Small Business Administration small businesses represent 99.7% of all employer firms, they generate between 60 to 80% of the new jobs each year and are the fastest growing exporters. 

Artisans, crafters, exhibitors, concessionaires, and festival promoters are some of the most creative, hardworking independent businesses.  They are also a growing segment of the independent business revolution.  Even in this uncertain economy, more  Americans are starting businesses, creating personal part-time income opportunities and taking back control of their financial futures.  

There is a groundswell of understanding making its way into the public conscience that we can make our lives and communities better by getting back to the basics.  Made local and buy local are becoming common terms as Americans help their communities by keeping their money in the community.
