I’ve been talking a lot about U.S. Small Business Week lately, in relation to the Startup BizCast Small Business Week Contest. This week my guest will give us some details on when Small Business Week got started, why it’s important, and what will be going on that week to celebrate entrepreneurship. My guest is Jack Bienko from the U.S. Small Business Administration, who is the National Small Business Week Sponsorship Co-Chair.

In this week’s BizCast Brief segment, I have stories about a drop in small business owner economic confidence, the U.S. is cheap cheap cheap, and the best towns in which to start a business.

Speaking of the Startup BizCast Small Business Week Contest … don’t forget to enter before it’s too late! The deadline for entries is April 12. The grand prize winner will receive free services from online press release newswire PRWeb, search engine and Internet marketing firm NetSearch Direct, and online data backup company Carbonite.
