Whether it’s to stay informed or find inspiration, HoneyBook has got you covered with some of this week’s top entrepreneurial stories. Here’s what you need to know👇 📰 In Search of a Boring Business (NYTimes) There is a growing trend with people in their 30s and 40s abandoning the 9-5 grind and purchasing niche businesses in the pursuit of entrepreneurship. As the world continues to become more digitally connected than ever, there is something to be said for the appeal of a local small business you can own via acquisition. It’s an interesting case study in the element of community, having control over your career and the less glamorous side of owning a small business. https://archive.ph/AHuBj ⚖️ How AI is Leveling the Playing Field for Small Business to Compete with Industry Giants (MSN) AI can give small businesses the technological tools they need to compete with industry giants, helping them scale their operations, improve efficiency, and remain agile. With 2025 being seen as a pivotal year for AI, small businesses can disrupt the traditional barriers by leveraging AI tools (like those available on HoneyBook), driving growth and improving competitiveness. https://lnkd.in/ggRb7PS7 📊 Small Business Survey Data Shows Uncertainty is High (Yahoo Finance) A new survey finds small business owners were feeling uncertain of the future earlier this year, as they continued to deal with inflation and labor challenges. It will be important to monitor how the government addresses these issues alongside the other challenges and how they plan to support entrepreneurs. https://lnkd.in/gTr5zCsC 🔮 Aura is the Branding of the Generation (032c) How ‘aura’ became the new branding tool for Millennials and Gen Z and where small businesses can win in shaping their brand identity.

“I feel like folks are not talking about solopreneurs and small businesses and the use of AI. And how we can really unlock more six- and seven-figure businesses of one.” — HoneyBook CMO, Colleen Stauffer, in conversation with NYSE at HumanX. As we continue to champion our members in the world of AI, our focus remains the same: build solutions that work, with small businesses in mind.

If you're ever wondering whether something qualifies as a tax deduction, ask yourself this one question: "Do I need it to run my business?" Think expenses like: ✅ Office rent or lease payments ✅ Business travel and meals ✅ Contract labor and employee wages ✅ Software and tools you use daily (like HoneyBook!) Luckily, you don’t have to figure this all out on your own. HoneyBook’s Tax Hub offers tax filing education and resources to help make tax season as simple and stress-free as possible.
