So sometimes I am just blown away by random statistics.
And sometimes , I am just blown away by the seemingly random, but actually good to know little factoids that feature in my line of work.
Like the fact that there are just on 23 million small businesses in America 1- a small business being one that employs between 0 and 20 people. I would assume 0 means it's just the owner by his lonesome doing the work, otherwise, is Casper helping out ?
This number blows my mind because I currently live in a country with a total population not far off that number. In fact the statisticians officially predicted we'd be over the 23 million mark at 9:57 pm last night . or so I am told by the news media.
And I come from a country ( South Africa) with a population just shy of double that amount - South Africa was at 51 million people as at the 2011 census. Where 12 million people in total live in Gauteng, which is the financial hub and powerhouse of the country.
And here's America , which is so big , and has so many people , that there are twice as many Small Business Owners as there are people in Gauteng.
Holy crickey smackaroos.
And this is a really good thing to know in my line of business, because I am the very blessed recipient of a paid seat in a program offered by a really groovy company called Pyksis in conjunction with another groovy company called ANZA Technology Network . This seat, in this program gives me the chance to pick some really amazing brains over in Silicon Valley. It gives me the chance to take this super-duper exciting revolutionary cloud-software that I have been a part of creating, and find out if it's possible to sell it into the American Market.
Which it will be of course, because it's brilliant, and it's going to change the face of small business the world over.
And I am very pleased to note, that knowing there are another 23 million possible sales out there, ( factoring in that these small employers provide 66 million jobs across them ) is a really amazing thing to behold. Sort of like being at the apex of the brand new bigger than ever Roller Coaster.
Bring it on Universe! I am ready for whatever you're gonna get thrown my way. Just don't get in the way of me and my 23 million sales yeah ?
