The Question:

With one quarter left in 2013, how does the rest of the year look for your business?

18% - We’re expecting a great finish to an already great year.

24% - We’re projecting a strong finish to a fair year.

52%- We’re expecting the last quarter to be like the first three - just okay.

6% - If the last quarter isn’t better than the first three, we’re in trouble.

My Comments:
As you can see from our poll response this week, some small businesses are doing well. But alas, more than half are not. Over four years since the end of the Great Recession, this should not be the case. I’m going to have more to say about this in an upcoming Feature Article. Stay tuned and thanks for contributing.
