The Small Business Owners Community is proud to offer entrepreneurs something that is grossly missing: recognition. Each day, you're building your business, taking huge risks, and on the whole it feels like nobody notices. And, so few understand what you do that your friends aren't even there to give you a high five for the effort. Isolation can be demoralizing. When you feel like nobody cares if you go above and beyond it's really tempting to let up. Not on our watch.
The SBOC's tagline is "It's your dream, Don't Grow it Alone®," so let's do something amazing.

We are proud to announce a new Awards program to give the recognition so many deserve. At our 4th annual conference in October, we're launching a huge recognition program called "The SBOC Awards presented by Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative." The awards program will held on the evening of our first conference night and all of our entrants and nominees will be invited to attend the networking and ceremony at no charge.

To review the categories and enter, simply look below and find the best match for you and your business. Yes, self-nominations are not only possible - they're encouraged! So many of our members are solopreneurs and the act of reflecting on what you've done well is empowering! The entry deadline has been EXTENDED to Friday, September 6 at 11:59pm.

Good Luck!
