Optimism with Entreprenuers
Got this from Counselor Magazine!
Surveys: Business Owner Sentiment Increases
In taking a hard look at the mood of small business owners during the second quarter, the Intuit Payroll Survey found one common denominator: a positive attitude. More than three quarters (78%) of the 1,022 small business owners polled said "I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel." Even further, the National Federation of Independent Business just reported that its optimism index increased in August thanks to improved expectations for future business and real sales volume.
"Small business owners are bullish on their own abilities, but bearish on the factors they can't control," says Cameron Schmidt, director of marketing, for Intuit Employee Management Solutions. "It's a classic example of the mindset of the American entrepreneur. Self-reliance trumps government hand-outs, and even in the gloomiest economy there are opportunities to seize."
The poll also asked business owners, when times are tough, what is the most important thing to have in your office? Not surprisingly, more than half (54%) said work to do. Forty-three percent said a sense of humor. Jack Gurka, owner of High Impact Promotion (asi/225025), says, "My first thought is you need to have promotional products in your office." But a sense of humor doesn't hurt either. "You can definitely get caught up in all of the doom and gloom. Plenty of good things have happened in the past two years. There are some good sectors and good indicators in other areas. Sometimes we forget not everyone is jumping off of the roof."

Another nice review!
I just recieved this email from Steve Schillig. Steve is the Region Director for the Small Business Development Center in our area.
Kirby,
I read your book and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am actually in the process of going back and creating an outline based on your concepts that I will use when assisting a client with their marketing plan. The section on “Press Releases” was especially beneficial to me as I realize that it is truly an underutilized marketing strategy.
Good stuff! Get your copy of the book today!
