I don’t believe this but I wish it were true. Our e-commerce business is growing despite the economy but we feel as if there is a boulder about to drop on our heads at any moment. Means a lot of sleepless nights.
My 26-year-old production hand-manufactured business has been up starting last November. This will be my best year since 2008, but still below 2007.
My husband’s medical massage practice is about the same as last year, but he is seeing an increase in new clients and this is with a lot of competition in both areas where he has clinic hours.
That said, we have the same impending doom sense that you describe. I think it depends on what your target demographic might be. Medical and academic professionals and retirees all seem to be doing ok, along with accountants.
