Last night at the Entrepreneurial Workshop offered by Horizons in Plummer, I learned a lot and got even a greater vision for what could happen with people who are interested in staying in their small communities in spite of the “lack of work.” People who are willing to take a big step and “make it happen” –that is create work by starting their own small business–can make a huge difference in our area. With the resources the Idaho Small Business Development Center has to offer, there is a good chance of success, and, as the presenter said, when you start creating job opportunities in your community there is something there for your children to stay for rather than them wanting to travel off to Seattle or somewhere to find work.

It IS exciting!
