Statistics on the Birth of a Business: Christmas Edition | S01 | 2023 | Episode 08

The holidays are upon us: a time to reflect on the year that is almost over and look forward with optimism to the new one to come. For entrepreneurs, this is especially important!

Join Nancy and Susan for a cozy, empowering discussion about small business in America in beyond: trends, principles, ideas and experiences.  Drawing from academic studies and a recent A-Squared Lamp Groups survey, our hosts touch on themes including: establishing solid business foundations, adapting to market needs and avoiding common pitfalls by forming a support network. Despite some rockiness in the economy, there are exciting things happening in American entrepreneurship and this is as good a time as ever to get your business idea off the ground. Listen to learn more.

What is Stop Digging!?

First, put your shovel down and listen to our monthly community podcast, Stop Digging! Only YOU can decide how to move through whatever pile of dirt your life or work struggles have put in your way. But we can help. Explore various pain-point topics with our nonprofit's podcast team that hosts engaging conversations with real people. We focus on three main community pillars:

1. Health & Relationships
2. Learning & Leadership
3. Organizations & Growth

Each pillar aligns to our nonprofit’s individual member levels (wellness, career, leadership & solopreneurship), which are considered tax-deductible donations that support our work to develop people and organizations for success. We need the community to partner with us to fund Stop Digging!, and you can donate directly toward the $1150 we need annually by going here: https://buy.stripe.com/5kA4gCaOd0qBaFq28c

Otherwise, sit back and enjoy our discussions with experts and experienced people who share their expertise and stories, who often provide resources, information, and connections to build up the purpose, passion, and pursuits of listeners’ Life Work. Share your own story of personal or professional development and what has helped you best by posting in our Stop Digging! self-development LinkedIn group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14209768

If you have a unique story about your Life Work transition, transformation, discovery, and notable success, you might be a good guest for our next show. We typically schedule six months in advance. Visit us here to apply: asquaredlamps.org/stop-digging
