Celebrated March 7, National Be Heard Day is an occasion for small businesses owners and aspiring owners to make their voices heard. The day celebrates small businesses and encourages them to stand up for themselves and their ideas and lay claim to their share of the market.
So do you want your business ideas taken seriously? Does your business idea blow everything in the App Store out of the water? Use National Be Heard Day as your excuse to draft out that business plan, write that communications strategy, and set the groundwork to get your big ideas heard around the world.
Make your presence known: Do one thing today to make your voice heard. Maybe it’s sharing a business idea with a friend, writing a letter to the editor of a local paper, writing a blog post, or even writing a Tweet. There are so many ways to connect with people online and in person, and National Be Heard Day is a great reason to start.
Improve yourself: Your success as an entrepreneur and business owner starts with your own personal growth. Do one thing today that will help you in your own personal development. Some suggestions: write a list of goals; read a book about self-improvement; or schedule a meeting with a mentor or person in your field that you admire. Small steps today can set you on the path for success tomorrow.
Tell your story: National Be Heard Day is a perfect time to craft your refined pitch, story or idea in order to communicate your ideas effectively. If you already have a business but think you could tell your story better, try writing or narrative, or reach out to a communications professional to help you tell — and promote — your story.
