Merry Christmas and Holiday Greetings from Team Rosie to you!

Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense in 1776, his quote, 'These are the times that try men's souls' certainly seems appropriate this year, especially for our nation's small business owners.

Everywhere we turn, we see the impact this pandemic has had on small business owners, and our military entrepreneurs are no exception. The Rosie Network took precautionary measures early on. We adapted our training by moving all of our Cohorts to online learning platforms that currently permits military-related entrepreneurs access to our free Service2CEO Program.

Despite these abnormal circumstances, military members are not unfamiliar with challenges. Our dogged determination and resilience has helped many business owners successfully pivot throughout their careers and business endeavors.

I'm incredibly proud of our team to include Chapter Leads, Mentors, Subject Matter Experts and Instructors, all of whom have leaned into this challenge and have worked hard to help our small community thrive.

Often people ask, 'How can I help?' The mission is simple; we as a nation of patrons have an opportunity to make an impact with our pocketbooks. Shop military family-owned this holiday and every day!

We hope you will take a moment to visit the veteran and military spouse-owned small businesses as well as Rosie's List, a search tool that features tens verified military family-owned worldwide!

These are difficult times, but as the iconic WWII figure, Rosie the Riveter, would say, We Can Do It!

As our mission continues, we thank you, Stephanie Brown CEO and Founder, The Rosie Network
