Global Entrepreneurship Week 11/14-11/20

Are you an entrepreneur?  Dictionary.com defines entrepreneur as: a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk.  If you organize and manage your own Etsy shop, Facebook business page, or home business, then YOU are an entrepreneur.  Even the tiniest of businesses are run by entrepreneurs.  It is the unique type of motivation, drive, and determination that makes an entrepreneur stand out from the crowd.  So, don't sell yourself short.  If you work a booth at craft shows, if you sell items online, even if you are just starting out and are too afraid or embarassed to use the word "business," YOU are an entrepreneur.

November 14-20 is Global Entrepreneurship Week.  This event is marked with thousands of events in more than 100 countries.  It engages roughly 40 million entrepreneurs around the globe.  You don't have to formally participate to share the electric enthusiasm and spirit that embodies this worldwide event.  You can experience your own slice of it here.  To join in on the fun, Mama-press is hosting Mompreneur Week.

Here's what it involves:
  1. Link up at my special Mompreneur Edition Blog Hop this week. 
  2. Beginning week of 11/14, two people will be randomly selected from the hop to win 3 fabulous prizes.  These include: a free spot in my Candy Cane Catalog which is now live, a free month long ad spot on my sidebar, and periodic Facebook shout-outs and Twitter tweets about their shops.
  3. Finally, one lucky mompreneur will win a free Spotlight page for the month of December.  Click my Spotlight page above to see the current winner.
Sound good?  Link up your blog, FB page, or website at my blog hop today.  Anyone can link up, but only Mompreneur's are eligible to win.  For an extra submission into the contest, comment below answering this question, "What is your next big (or small) goal as a Mompreneur?"  Thanks!

    Awesome! As for me as a Mompreneur of Gifket, my next goal is to get demos made of every one of my available gift baskets. This also includes the time to make all the items that go into my baskets, as they are predominantly handcrafted.
