We've been busy. As we close the year we have seen 19 Representatives, 4 Senators and 2 Congressman, gone to committee hearings, and been to several speaking engagements. We were in 2 podcasts, spoke on RJ Harris a few times and visited and shopped at many small businesses.
Our organization grew. I am the Director of Business Development and currently have 4 Go Big advocates...Dennis Marburger, Sherri Chippo, DJ Keiser and John Roy. All have extensive work experience and influence in their communities. We have more room to grow across the state so if you are a self starter, well connected in your local community and have a passion for saving small businesses and seeing them thrive, we would love to talk. Text/message me. You can do this job on the side.
We are currently tracking 20 bills that are detrimental and supportive of small business. While you are working your business, Go Big is walking the halls of the Capital making our passion for small business known.
Our social media presence grew exponentially on Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin and X...over 3000 followers.
We are partnering with Chambers of Commerce and Buy local groups and welcome our most recent partnership Pittsburgh North Regional Chamber.
Just as little as 2 years ago, Go Big Small Biz Network was just an idea. Thanks to a few good friend's financial support we were able to make it into reality. We are looking for more that support our passion to prevent government overreach and see our small businesses thrive.
We have billboards along the turnpike from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh.
Why the Go Big Small Biz Network Exists
The Go Big Small Biz Network exists to prevent government overreach into Small Businesses – it’s our mission and continued passion. As many of our state legislators and elected officials are writing legislation that is harmful to small businesses, our purpose is to influence change for the benefit of small businesses. The work we are doing is critical to the future of our country’s economy and our local communities. By protecting small businesses we are protecting employees who rely on the success of small businesses.
Go to www.gobigsmallbiz.com and join now. It is an easy process and will take about three minutes.
The work of the Go Big Small Biz Network team is important in influencing change for the better for small businesses but it’s critical to the future of our state and country’s economy. In Pennsylvania, 99% of the businesses are considered small. When combined with other states, small businesses drive 46% of our nation’s economy. Since the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, 26% of small businesses had to close their doors because of government overreach, mandates, and shutdowns. We are here to prevent that from happening again and need your support to continue building the momentum we have established in a very short period.
I hope each of you had a merry Christmas and enjoy a Happy new year with friends and family.
