$200 Billion Boost to Small Businesses
Small Business Saturday is more than just a shopping day - it's a $200 billion opportunity for local entrepreneurs! Harlem Wine Gallery has been riding the wave of success since 2016, with their revenue climbing every year.

Doubters Couldn’t Stop Her Shine
"Why don't you make it a charity? This isn't a real business," they said. But Haley Rosen proved them wrong - her women's sports news startup, Just Women's Sports, just raised $13 million!

He Sold His Blood to Survive, Now a Billionaire!
Howard Schultz went from selling his blood to survive to transforming Starbucks into a $100 billion global empire. Raised in poverty, Schultz never stopped dreaming big, even when others said it wasn’t possible. 

“Why don’t you make it a charity? This isn’t a real business.” 

Haley Rosen heard this over and over when she pitched her idea for Just Women’s Sports.

To many, the concept of a platform exclusively dedicated to women’s sports seemed too niche, too small, too idealistic to ever work.

But Haley didn’t back down.

A former professional soccer player, she knew firsthand the frustration of seeing women’s sports constantly overlooked.

She wanted more than box scores and half-hearted coverage - she wanted a thriving space for fans like her to celebrate the athletes they admired.

The early days were tough. Investors were skeptical, funding was scarce, and the skeptics were loud.

But Haley leaned into her passion, her belief that great content could build a loyal audience.

Slowly, Just Women’s Sports began to grow - piece by piece, story by story.

Today, Haley has silenced the doubters with a $13 million raise and a thriving platform that reaches millions.

Her story is proof that the most groundbreaking ideas often sound impossible at first.

Takeaway: When others doubt you, trust your vision.

What the world calls “niche,” your passion can turn into a revolution.
