Every successful business begins with a dream — an idea sparked by passion, purpose, and possibility. But too often, those dreams stall not because of a lack of talent, but because of a lack of access to education, guidance, and support.
That’s why we’re launching Launch A Dream, a fundraising campaign dedicated to empowering small business owners and emerging entrepreneurs with the tools they need to grow, scale, and thrive.
Launch A Dream…Turn Ideas into Impact!…
Empowering small business owners and emerging entrepreneurs with the tools they need to grow, scale, and thrive.

It was a pleasure meeting you on the steps last Thursday at the “Women Who Mean Business Summit.” The venue was filled with positive energy and I think the participants walked away inspired. The event was well organized as well as very informative.

“Game changer!!!!! I’ve experience hands on the dynamic impact MBL’s youth entrepreneurship program is having on my students in and outside the classroom. My students are enriched and exposed to business executives, content and skills that will prepare them for life after high school. MBL is the bridge that connects the classroom to the boardroom”

I am very happy to share that my licensing with VCU has come through and Christy Rabil has been absolutely amazing in helping me navigate the process. We are currently introducing 15oz and 11oz mugs, and mousepads with VCU theme at Virginia Book Company! And scouting for more openings at VCU Hospital and Barnes and Noble if it comes through. Please check out these new products at Virginia Book Company around the last week of October for your holiday shopping! Thank you again for creating this wonderful opportunity for the MBL members.

Hey Floyd, just saw a photo of you on Instagram celebrating Fobbs Quality Signs 1-year anniversary. Wanted to acknowledge that this type of relationship building with your members is the right move. It’s time consuming but it’s the work that only you can do. Attracting new members is good but keeping them is great! Keep up the good work. ??
