Living In a Small Town

There is a recent country song with part of the chorus saying "Everyone dies famous in a small town." If you live in a small town like I do, you can so relate to the words in that song. I reside in a small Kansas town of about 250 people. Yes, everybody knows just about everybody! If someone new moves to town, everyone is soon aware of it. If someone is sick, people sign a card at the grocery story when they stop in, and when the signatures cover the inside of the card it is mailed as a get-well wish from the whole community. Volunteerism in my town is at a high. When the community needs a project done, volunteers come creeping out of the woodwork. Even if some money has been donated, grants are usually how projects are undertaken due to lack of funds because of being a small town. Many of these grants require so many hours of donated labor, which is then matched as worth so many dollars. The people in my town never fail to step up to the plate with that donated labor. Two recent projects come to mind. One is the replacing of water lines all over town. These people helped dig ditches, lay water lines, set meters, redo streets, and some even helped by just feeding the workers. My town has a new project, and that is restoring the town lake. Many volunteers have already put in hours to help clean it up and chop out trees. Their reward? Long-term it’s knowing it is something for the betterment of our community when it’s all done. Of course, they enjoyed the short-term reward at the end of the day with a hot dog roast! Yes, people here in my hometown are great!

There is a downfall to a small town though, and that can be the opportunity of starting a business. But luckily, the Internet can come to the rescue and provide an online business opportunity. I started one, and I can help other people get started along with my mentoring team. No longer does living in a small town hinder people from having a great business. There are, of course, many people who have joined my business because they are tired of the rat race of the big cities. So whatever the case, this opportunity can fill that desire. Any of my mentoring team is willing to help every step of the way to help people succeed. They don’t care what size of town you come from!
