This week in 1991, Yui&Company was born. As we contemplate 33 years, resiliency, focus, gratitude, disruption, and determination come to mind…and joy. Serendipitously, in spiritual terms, the number 33 also aligns with our current state of growth and evolution. We prompted AI to generate this image of 33 made out of feathers. And it’s molting. Shedding its skin, preparing for the next stage in life. As are we. We are taking the next steps towards being of service to others, finding new ways to express our deep-seated belief that growth and impact are natural-born soulmates. We are disrupting ourselves anew, leaning into our purpose, empowering others to define and explore theirs by hearing their souls with joy as the North Star. We’re excited. Stay tuned… #womenownedbusiness #selfgrowth #angelnumbers #entrepreneur

Grant $$ available to Maryland Small Business Owners! Through $10 million in small business and community development grants, the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development plans to target investments to activate vacant spaces in business corridors and support small businesses with start up or expansion funds while creating jobs and increasing local economic activity. There are two paths that the grant funding can be accessed: economic development entities can apply for Project Restore 2.0, which will incentivize commercial investment in downtowns, Main Streets and other business districts by providing funding for entities to subgrant to businesses. Or eligible new and expanding small businesses in designated Sustainable Communities can apply for funding directly through Business Boost. https://lnkd.in/e-AYvsMX
