Are small business owners optimistic because they are in business? Or are they in business because they are optimists? I’d state “BOTH.”
I believe small business owners are by nature optimists. Even if we are in a recession (which we won’t know until it’s over), many small business owners state business is good. For example, a recent article in the Charlotte, North Carolina Business Journal stated:
Nearly 78 percent of owners and managers of small businesses say their companies will meet or surpass growth expectations this year, according to a national survey.
So there you’re. Ignore the speak of recession. Push ahead. Raise your prices if you need to cover cost increases. Hire new employees, like the 44 percent of the businesses surveyed.
