Support your local...

How many of you remember those movies from the late 60's and early 70's starring James Garner?

But today I'm writing about supporting your local businesses.

I talked a little bit about this back in November, but thanks to a Facebook post by Tammy Villeggiante I decided it was time to bring it up again.

The local business owners, whether the person who owns a brick and mortar business downtown, or the person who teaches piano out of their home or the network marketer sharing the product or service that they're passionate about, are our neighbors and they use the money to pay for braces for their children at the local orthodontist or piano lessons at the local piano teacher's home or to buy jerseys for the local youth softball team that they sponsor.

Like I mentioned in that post in November, I'm buying more of my products from small businesses, whether it's from a friend in a network marketing or direct sales business or the local barbershop that's been around forever!

The holidays will be here before you know it (yes, I know it's the middle of summer right now but you know you'll be wondering how it got to be Thanksgiving already), so support your local small business, whether it's a small specialty boutique or that person who sells greeting cards in their network marketing business.
