18 small business saturday ideas

Happy almost Thanksgiving, friends! In honor of Small Business Saturday 2019, I put together these hand-drawn graphics for you! I hope you will join me in spreading the Small Business love this year. Small Business Saturday means a ton to me because I believe supporting small businesses changes lives in a direct way. My life is a testament to this. First, by growing up witnessing my father run his small business with all its ups and downs. Then, when I met my husband, he had a lot of experience in business (both success and failures).

I think I always had an entreprenuerual spirit within me, but my husband really encouraged me in this area. In 2012 when I started Lily & Val, Mak and I decided to close our former business and dedicate our time to L&V.

I’ve had sleepless nights, made tough decisions, and shed many tears. This has given me such a heart []
