Small Business Boomers

Sunny Side Up, or “Small Business Boomers as Optimists”

by Jean on May 16th, 2008

businessoptimism_nc.jpgAre small business owners optimistic because they are in business? Or are they in business because they are optimists? I’d say “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 say 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 are. Ignore the talk 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.

(The survey mentioned above was run by Administaff)
