A little bit goes a long way. You don’t have to write a fat check to a huge charity to make a difference anymore. Support your local businesses instead! Use local involvement in ways like volunteering to help and offering free/discounted services to those who could truly benefit from it could be incredibly productive for your own business. Creating positive relationships with those around you – aka, “networking” – is unbelievably useful and can open up prime opportunities in the strangest of places.

Also, your employees will be affected – they’re local! They understand the need for quality services and products that aren’t so mass-produced into an automated system that they can’t speak English. They ARE part of your community, just like you are. Supporting and encouraging, trading with, and inspiring other businesses can make a difference.
