The SBA hopes to reach this audience with its message of entrepreneurship, the importance of small business to the nation's economy, and information on the agency's programs and services.The SBA YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/sba) debuted with a 60-second introduction to the agency, its programs and services, and a 10-part "Delivering Success" series co-produced with the U.S. Postal Service.
Future content will cover how small businesses can take advantage of the loan programs in the economic-stimulus package, government-contracting opportunities, exporting to increase market share, and counseling and training on how to start and grow a small business, according to the agency.

Nonprofit Ventures: Show Me the Money
We can talk about entrepreneurial ventures. We can brainstorm. We can even plan and raise money for our ideas. But, how about making it work? How about an example of a success? We would like to share the story of a simple idea to show you it is possible.
Bernadette Cannon, a supporter and advocate for Catskill Area Hospice and Palliative Care, attended the very first New York Council of Nonprofits Entrepreneurial Ventures training offered in 2004. She came to the training with a simple idea: start a thrift shop. For the next couple of years, she worked tirelessly to make her idea a reality. Listen to her share her insight about her for profit venture. Most importantly, hear about her success.
