As we gather with family and friends this 4th of July to celebrate our nation’s independence and eat an excessive amount of red meat, it’s worth reflecting on some of the things that make America truly exceptional: the entrepreneurial spirit that drives innovation, creates opportunities, and drives the strongest economy in the world, and the amazing people who show up every day with new ideas, and the energy to execute on them.
As a business owner, you’ve chosen to bet on yourself, to create something from nothing, and to take control of your own financial future. Whether you’re running a family business passed down through generations or building the next unicorn startup, you’re participating in a great American tradition: the pursuit of the American Dream through a (mostly) free market.
This Independence Day, take a moment to appreciate not just what you’ve built, but the system that made it possible. The legal protections for intellectual property, the access to capital markets, the rule of law that enforces contracts; these aren’t just abstract concepts. They’re the infrastructure of freedom that allows your business to thrive.
Take a moment to also appreciate those to your left and right, the people on your teams who are rowing with you towards a bright future. And to those at home who support you and provide the assurance to keep you going through the toughest of times.
We at Southcoast Financial Partners which you a very happy Independence Day, and want you to know that we are here to support you and will have your back when you need us!
