🍂 It’s officially Q4 — how’s your business doing?

The final quarter of the year is a great time to pause and look at what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs your attention before the year wraps up.

Take a little time this week to ask yourself:

✔️ Are you on track to meet your 2026 goals?
✔️ What’s bringing in the most revenue?
✔️ Where are you spending money that isn’t paying off?
✔️ What do you want to accomplish before December 31?

And if you’re not sure where to start, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

The SBDC offers free, confidential advising to help you work through your business questions and make a plan for what’s next.

🔎 Small business owners: have you found the SBDC’s Quick Reference Links yet?

If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be a resource for this… I just don’t know where to find it,” this page is a great place to start.

You’ll also find free tools and information related to:

📣 Marketing
📊 Your industry, market & demographics
🏢 Business resources
💡 Research & planning
🛠️ And more

Instead of spending hours searching the internet for the right resource, start with a list curated with small business owners in mind.

What’s one thing you’d really like to improve before the year is over?

Maybe it’s your marketing.
Maybe your pricing needs another look.
Maybe you want to understand your financials better.
Maybe you have an idea for a new product or service.
Or maybe you’re ready to finally make a plan for the business you’ve been dreaming about.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

The Ohio SBDC offers no-cost, one-on-one advising to help entrepreneurs and small business owners work through questions, challenges, and opportunities.

Think of it as a chance to sit down with someone, talk through where you are, and figure out what makes sense for where you want to go next.

✨ One conversation could help turn “I really need to work on that” into an actual plan.

Don’t save everything for January.

Use the last quarter of the year to set yourself up for a stronger year ahead.

The final months of the year can be busy, but they’re also a great time to step back, look at what’s working, and make a plan for what comes next.

Not sure where to start? That’s where the SBDC can help.

You can meet with an SBDC advisor at no cost to talk through the things that are on your mind, whether that’s:

💰 Reviewing your numbers
📈 Planning for growth
🎯 Setting goals for next year
📋 Creating or updating your business plan
💡 Working through a new business idea
🤔 Or simply figuring out what your next step should be

You don’t need to have all the answers before you reach out. That’s what the advising is for.

So before the year gets away from you, give yourself a little time to work on your business, not just in it.

Your future self might be very glad you did. 😉

💭 Have you ever thought about starting a business… but had no idea where to start?

Maybe you have a business idea you’re excited about. Maybe you’re still in the “someday” stage. Or maybe you just have a million questions.

That’s exactly what this session is for.

Join the Ohio SBDC at Kent State University Tuscarawas Campus for a Virtual Small Business Orientation on Wednesday, October 7, from 5:30–7:45 PM.

We’ll talk about:
📋 The business planning process
⚖️ Legal issues new entrepreneurs should know about
💰 Ways to fund a new venture
📍 Resources available to small businesses in Northeast Ohio
🚀 And, most importantly, where to begin

And it doesn’t stop when the webinar ends. After attending, you can schedule no-cost, ongoing advising to help you develop your business idea — virtually or in person.

You don’t have to be ready to launch. You just have to be ready to learn.

👉 Register today and take that first step toward turning “someday” into a plan.

📅 Wednesday, October 7, 2026
⏰ 5:30–7:45 PM

Registration closes at 5:00 PM on October 5. https://clients.ohiosbdc.ohio.gov/workshop.aspx?ekey=103460010

What starts with one little girl can become an entire universe. 💥📚

Years ago, Keith A. Harris and his wife watched two boys tell a little girl that she couldn’t look at their comic book because “comic books are for boys.”

So they made her one of her own.

That small act of kindness sparked an idea that would eventually grow into FutureGen Comics—and a universe of more than 100 characters created by Keith, an award-winning entrepreneur and published comic book writer.

Today, FutureGen Comics is bringing those characters, stories, and ideas to life while showing what can happen when creativity meets entrepreneurship.

🎥 Hear Keith share more about the FutureGen story in this video.

And if you’ve ever had an idea that just wouldn’t leave you alone…maybe there’s a little universe of your own waiting to be built.
