 Inspired: Small Business Success Story\nIn celebration of Women's History 
 Month\, we are highlighting small business owners like Princess Ousley who
  is making an impact on the economy and her community. Over a decade ago\,
  Ousley and her business partner founded Florida-based Elite Business Stra
 tegies\, an 8(a) firm. Ousley worked with her local Small Business Develop
 ment Center\, which helped her forecast business growth and connect with a
  Procurement Center Representative. Ousley developed a crisis management p
 lan and added a supply component to the business. This proved critical whe
 n the pandemic first hit and the demand for personal protective equipment 
 soared. Through her established business relationships\, Ousley was able t
 o boost supplies\, helping to meet the needs of federal agencies.\n\nRead
