THE IMPORTANCE OF SMALL BUSINESS By H. Dale Keeton, Ph.D. Small business has long been the stabilizing force in the economy of the United States. Entrepreneurs are the backbone of creativity and production. Since over 60% of all private sector, non-farm jobs comes from small businesses, it is a proven fact that small businesses are critical to the US economy. Many businesses start as one person’s idea. The creator is often an entrepreneur who sees a gap in the market or a commercial opportunity. He or she turns that idea into a marketable product or service. There are four main types of business: manufacturing, wholesale, retail, and service. Characteristics of entrepreneurs who start their own independent business and become successful include: (1) prepared to take risks; (2) driven by achievement; (3)not put off by
failure; (4)self-motivated; (5) determined to stay ahead of the competition. According to the Small Business Association, a small business is defined as any company with fewer than 500 employees. These companies represent 99.7 percent of all employer firms. Since 1995, small businesses have generated 64 percent of new jobs, and paid 44 percent of the total US private payroll, according to the SBA. But then, there are “Micro-Businesses.” These are very small businesses, usually established by one or two individuals and requiring minimum start-up capital and low overhead. B-Thrifty is a strong supporter of micro-business. Under the roof of B-Thrifty in Woodbridge, Virginia, are several retail and service micro-businesses. B-Thrifty
provides space, utilities, and other supportive services to help these businesses get started and continue toward success. Customers who come to the thrift store often become customers of the stores in the “bazaars.” Low-cost advertising in this newspaper also drives additional traffic to the stores. Affordable space is now available at B-Thrifty for new microbusinesses. From 135 square feet to 640 square feet can be arranged to display retail goods or provide a useful service to customers. For a limited time, B-Thrifty is offering the first month’s rent of $1 to an entrepreneur/business owner who would like to open his/her business in one of these locations. To inquire further about opening a micro-business at B-Thrifty, call Margarita Trujillo at (703) 496-5100 / (571) 265-8396.

LA IMPORTANCIA DE LOS PEQUEÑOS NEGOCIOS Por H. Dale Keeton, Ph.D.
La pequeña empresa ha sido durante mucho tiempo la fuerza estabilizadora en la economía de los Estados Unidos. Los empresarios son la columna vertebral de la creatividad y la producción. Dado que más del 60% de todos los sectores, el empleo no agrícola privado proviene de las pequeñas empresas, es un hecho comprobado que las pequeñas empresas son fundamentales para la economía de EE.UU.. Muchas empresas comienzan como la idea de una persona. El creador es a menudo un empresario que ve un hueco en el mercado o una oportunidad comercial. Él o ella convierte esa idea en un producto o servicio comercializable. Hay cuatro tipos principales de negocios: fabricación, al por mayor, al por menor y servicios. Las principales características de los emprendedores que inician su propio negocio independiente y tienen éxito son: (1) preparado
para tomar riesgos, (2) impulsados por el logro, (3) no se deja intimidar por el fracaso, (4) auto-motivado, (5) determinado a mantenerse por delante de la competencia. De acuerdo con la Asociación de Pequeños Negocios, una pequeña empresa se define como una empresa con menos de 500 empleados. Estas empresas representan el 99,7 por ciento de todas las empresas empleadoras. Desde 1995, las pequeñas empresas han generado 64 por ciento de los nuevos puestos de trabajo, y pagado el 44 por ciento de la masa salarial privada en EE.UU., de acuerdo con la SBA.
De igual manera, existen las “microempresas”. Estas son empresas muy pequeñas, por lo general establecidos por una o dos personas y que requieren mínimos de capital de arranque. B-Thrifty es un firme defensor de la micro-empresa. Bajo el techo de B-Thrifty en Woodbridge, Virginia, existen varias micro-empresas minoris-
tas y de servicios. B-Thrifty ofrece espacios para la renta, incluyendo utilidades y otros serviciosde apoyo para ayudar a estas micro-empresas a comenzar y continuar hacia el éxito. Los clientes que acuden a la tienda de segunda mano a menudo se convierten en clientes de las tiendas de los “bazares”. Publicidad de bajo costo en este periódico también impulsa el tráfico adicional a las tiendas. En B-thrifty los espacios disponibles para renta comienzan a partir de 135 pies cuadrados a 640 pies cuadrados y se pueden organizar para mostrar productos al por menor o proporcionar un servicio útil a los clientes. Por un tiempo limitado, B-Thrifty está ofreciendo el primer mes de alquiler a $1 a los propietarios emprendedores y empresarios que les gustaría abrir su nuevo negocio. Para averiguar más acerca de cómo abrir su propio negocio en B-Thrifty, llame a Margarita Trujillo al (703) 496-5100 / (571) 2658396.

Inspirations “People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.” Tony Robbins “When I dare to be powerful – to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” Audre Lorde
