Welcome to The Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for June 27th.
Now, let’s dive right into today’s holiday: Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises Day.
Bit of a mouthful, I know. But behind that corporate-sounding title is something incredibly personal – because small businesses are, in many ways, the beating heart of your local community. Whether it’s the cozy coffee shop that knows your order by heart or the scrappy online business that turned a hobby into a livelihood, MSMEs are often driven by real passion, real people… and real caffeine. This day was established by the United Nations to recognize the vital role these enterprises play in job creation, economic development, and innovation. Basically, it’s a global high-five for those who dare to dream by starting small—but thinking big. Which brings me to today’s quote from an Unknown author.
"Do not wait for the perfect time and place to enter, for you are already onstage."
And isn’t that just the spirit of a small business? Most entrepreneurs don’t launch with a perfect plan, a fully funded runway, and a well-lit stage. They begin in garages, basements, or at kitchen tables, often under the warm glow of a laptop screen and the pressure of a deadline. This quote reminds you that you don’t need to wait until everything is perfect. The spotlight’s already on. You’re already in the game, even if it feels like you're still finding your footing. And honestly? Some of the best performances come from people who had no idea they were already being watched. So, whatever dream you're working on – whether it’s a business, a creative project, or just a better version of yourself – don’t wait. Start messy. Start scared. Just start. Thanks for joining me today. Celebrate the small. Support the local. And remember—you don’t need permission to take your shot. The world’s waiting for what you’ve got. That's it for today... I'm Andrew McGivern signing off for now, but I'll be back tomorrow - same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.
