In today's economy, we are all small business owners. Even if a large corporation automatically deposits a check in our account every two weeks, we are still the CEOs of our individual brands. We have to manage our career inside and outside of our organizations. That means continually learning, growing and positioning ourselves to help our companies and our communities grow.

That is why Global Entrepreneurship Week has so much to offer everyone in the Sacramento business community. This week of inspiration and education will help any businessperson thrive regardless of the unemployment rate.

We are all mentors and mentored. Why not spend a morning thinking about how you can give back and in the process benefit from the energy of working with an up-and-coming entrepreneur?

We all need to run sustainable businesses, regardless of our industry sector. A couple of hours on a Tuesday night learning about the resources available to promote our green efforts is an investment in ourselves and our future.

Similarly, we are all trying to find our niche and balance the home, work and community obligations that make our lives richer. Take some time next Wed. to talk to others about how they manage to do more with less.

And we all have to be creative to get through the day. How do art and music executives turn that muse into a business plan? Learn from the best on Friday night at Verge Gallery.
