I am a social entrepreneur, author, speaker, and CEO. I founded Eco-Bags Products to “clean up the planet one bag at a time” make a good living and put family first.

You can find out more about my business here: http://www.ecobags.com

Here's what Seth Godin, Author of Linchpin, says about my book:
"This is a powerful book--Tiny is mighty. Sharon Rowe's simple shift in thinking is a profound idea, precisely what we need to hear."

I introduced the ECOBAGS® reusable brand in 1989 and built a successful, “Tiny” impact business from scratch. More than 9 million bags sold to date. Time Magazine called me a “pioneer.” Glamour Magazine featured me as an Eco-Hero. The Oprah Show featured our brand, reaching millions. I’ve been featured on QVC, in the d

When I was writing my book, I had a publisher's deadline so it was easier to keep on task, no matter what dribble was coming out. Eventually, the water runs clean, if you know what I mean? I've fallen off my daily writing practice during the holidays but intend to start again soon. I like having projects. They keep me honest.(less)

I couldn't wrap my brain around it because she has a business, too, and it's much larger than mine in dollars and scope. I decided to dig into why she was inspired by me? If it wasn't the size of my business, what else could it be? Then I hit on how I approach my business in a much more "balanced way" putting family first and not fretting the small stuff. I have a profitable TINY business doesn't mean it's small (it's not - it's a million + business). It does mean it's intentional and lean by design. I decided to write the book to share what I learned about creating a business that made a huge impact (Time Magazine called us pioneers of the reusable bag movement) and has made me a good living without going big. In fact by subtitle is "you don't have to go big to make a great living." I think it should say "you don't have to go bog to make a great living or a big impact....unless you want to."

I wrote The Magic of Tiny Business to inspire others to get to work on their big give - their big idea. The world needs you!(less)
