THINK BIG SMALL BUSINESS MONTH SPOTLIGHT CONTINUES.....
As we conclude our Small Business Month spotlight series, we're proud to highlight Humble Beginnings by Candace, a participant in the recent Think Big 2.0 Pitch Competition.

Candace became an entrepreneur because she wanted a way to contribute financially while still being present during one of life's most important seasons, being a stay-at-home mom.

By combining her creativity with her love for family, she created a business focused on capturing precious moments through in-home newborn photography and handcrafted nursery keepsakes. As a mother herself, she understands how meaningful these moments can be and is passionate about helping families preserve them for years to come.

Through Humble Beginnings, Candace is turning creativity into meaningful keepsakes while supporting families and building a business that reflects her values.

📍 Pop Up In the Parks – July

Join us in celebrating Candace and the many entrepreneurs who are using their talents, creativity, and passion to make a difference in the lives of others and strengthen our community.

THINK BIG SMALL BUSINESS MONTH SPOTLIGHT CONTINUES....

We're proud to spotlight IB AccScents by Nanee, owned by a participant in the recent Think Big 2.0 Pitch Competition.

What started as a fragrance gifted by a friend became something much bigger, a purpose-driven business focused on self-care, confidence, and encouragement.

That experience inspired owner, Crystal Criss Horton-Hicks to create products that not only smell beautiful, but also remind people of their worth and provide comfort during difficult seasons of life. Through scents, skincare, and self-care products, she is helping others feel renewed and empowered.

IB AccScents is a reminder that entrepreneurship can be rooted in both passion and purpose.

THINK BIG SMALL BUSINESS MONTH SPOTLIGHT

In celebration of Small Business Month, Think Big is proud to spotlight entrepreneurs who participated in our recent Think Big 2.0 Pitch Competition. Their stories of innovation, resilience, and determination are helping strengthen our community while inspiring the next generation of business owners.

Today, we're excited to introduce P&K Grazing & Events LLC.

For Thelma, entrepreneurship was about more than starting a business. It was about creating something that brings people together while building a legacy for her family and community.

Alongside her partner Karen, Thelma combines creativity, hospitality, and service to provide elegant and affordable grazing experiences that help clients celebrate life's special moments without the stress of planning every detail themselves.

From intimate gatherings to special celebrations, P&K Grazing & Events is committed to creating memorable experiences that leave a lasting impression.

Tuesday Tip 💡 Strengthen Your Customer Experience

Your business grows when people feel valued, respected, and supported at every interaction.

A strong customer experience builds trust and keeps people coming back.

Ask yourself:
• Am I responding to customers in a timely way?
• Do I make the process easy from start to finish?
• Would I want to return to my own business experience?

Small improvements in service can lead to long-term loyalty and referrals.

Learn, connect, and grow with Think Big.
