You don’t have to be a billionaire to give back. Start now. Every small business can do it.

“Making a difference in people’s lives – and seeing it with your own eyes – is perhaps the most satisfying thing you’ll ever do. If you want to fully enjoy life – give.” -Michael R. Bloomberg
It was recently reported that Bill Gates and Warren Buffett convinced countless other billionaires and multimillionaires to bestow half or more of their wealth over their lifetime and after they die to various charities and causes important to them. As I read through the personal letters of these donors on The Giving Pledge website, it reminded me how important it is to have a giving mindset, even if you’re not incredibly wealthy or a millionaire or even a “thousandaire.” Everyone has the ability to give and most especially small business owners and entrepreneurs.
