Welcome to our blog!  Share your "Good Experiences with Small Business"

OUR GOAL:
To reach out and help promote businesses across the USA.
RULES:
1. Only positive blogs, please!  The reason for blogging is to help a Small Business.  In other words, if you cannot say anything good, don't say anything.  Right now, as fragile as Small Businesses are, an evil tongue or blog could sink a business.  There are other sites to post negative blogs.  Not this one.  Negative blogs will be deleted. 
 2.  Do not make this political.  This is one thing that everyone should agree on.  We are talking about saving Small Businesses in our community.  These are owned by citizens that are producing goods and services made in the USA.  Citizens, who may or may not be our neighbors, who we go to Church with, volunteer with to raise money for schools and local projects, who help coach our soccer and little leagues. 
WHAT CAN I DO?: 
Posting once a week will help tremendously.  Every dollar counts.  We have talked to Small Business owners who sometimes have found themselves running to the bank with a $20.00 check because that was all they needed to cover payroll or not have checks bounce. Your good comments will help promote these small businesses and keep them "rolling". THANK YOU.

USA Small Business Express: BUSINESS OF THE WEEK
Dolce Vita
4410 Sepulveda Blvd.
Culver City, CA  90230
310-390-5733

I have been stopping in at this Bakery/Coffee Shop for the past year, what a great place!  Great for just a cup of coffee/cappuccino. The Greek Breakfast is the best!  Really friendly staff.  If you are a regular and if you order the same thing all the time, you can just say “the usual”, go sit down and read the paper and they will bring it over to you.  It's like going to "Cheers" in LA. 
 A bit of info about the owner, Sandra-- she lost her husband to cancer (a couple of years ago).  He had run Dolce Vita by himself while she took care of their three children.  When he passed away, her mission was clear--she had to step up to the plate and take over all facets of the business.  She has done a wonderful job!

WHY IS THIS BLOG NECESSARY?: 
Small Businesses are the backbone of the economy of the United States of  America.  They keep our country running.  This year, with all our social networking, we have become aware of the plight of Small Businesses.  So many business are on the verge of going under. If they haven’t already.   I have seen too many go under recently.  After 9/11 the country realized how important it was to keep our Small Businesses going.  I remember our customers bringing in small chairs for re-upholstery and other projects and saying "I'm here to keep this country going” Almost as if  it were their patriotic duty, the one way that they could help; and, they did indeed help.
WHO WINS?: 
We all do! 
WHO LOOSES?:
Other countries, maybe.  Right now, there is, a most avid buying spree of our land and national treasures by foreign countries.  We need to stick together.  I remember, not too long after 9/11, reading that the terrorists said that our greed and selfishness would bring us down.  Well, the GREED OF OUR BANKS is certainly bringing down Small Businesses.  And, our SELFISHNESS will certainly do the same, if we don't work together. 
WHAT SHOULD I REMEMBER?: 
1.  Some Franchises are independently owned and operated.  They are a Small Business. You can find out by just asking. 
2.  Have fun with this!  And let Small Businesses know of your patronage.  Let Small Businesses know that you are on the "Small Business Express”  "God Bless the USA"
