If you are a small-business owner, and you have become adapted to the constant fluctuation of the economy in the past, rumor has it there is hope right around the corner. I know I know… Another article about the trials and tribulations of being an entrepreneur in the timeline of COVID-19. Stick with me. Don’t fall too far behind because just like you, a large number of small-business owners have found positivity all in the perspective they hold.

According to a new survey from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business Index and MetLife Insurance, 77% of small-business owners say they are optimistic about the future of their business, and 62% say their business is in good health. 

Most of the hard times stem from labor shortages, as well as supply shortages as big market CEOs mentioned. Running a small business requires less employees and less supply demand. Naturally, these small businesses are actually coming out on top as we near the hopeful “end” of the pandemic. Now, are you more optimistic about the future of your business? 

The increased consumer spending at small businesses was just enough to carry this confidence over into the new year.  When it comes to perspective, it is important to understand and believe in the capability of your business to adapt to this new norm.
