Tomorrow we will have a new president in the US. What does the future hold with Mr. Obama at the helm?
Well, his ability to make or break small business is not as prominent as you think. But he can obviously make a positive (or negative) impact in certain aspects as they relate to taxes and other federal government controlled issues.
Let's hope Mr. Obama does the right thing and makes it easier for small business to keep employees and even easier to hire them.
But keep this in mind; we are the makers of our own destiny. That's what entrepreneurship is all about. In this country, we are free to start and operate our own businesses. As long as that is the case, then truly nobody else but you, the business owner, can steer your destiny.
Not the stock market. Not the US president.
Let me quickly show you the powerful network we're part of as small technology business owners. There are about 24 million small businesses in this country and only 17,000 large businesses. Even if each small business had no employees but the owner, we would still grossly out-number the the jobs created by big business.
Now that, my friend, is power.
If you get the chance to tell our new government what we entrepreneurs need to keep this country humming, make sure you take the chance to voice it.
Choose your destiny right now for 2009 and beyond.
Make a plan of action and excecute it.
Be ready to change course as needed (that's the beauty of small business that big business can't compete with).
Be open to work with others and get help from others to make it all happen (nobody says you have to be an island and those that aren't are the ones that reach goals faster).
These are the keys to making the most of our time as technology business owners.
To Your Business Success-

George,
My friends and family cannot understand why I'm not freaking out over the economy. Why should I? I do not depend on a single paycheck, so I never have to worry about a pink slip. I really feel bad for my peers who are hoping for the new administration to save their jobs. Especially bad for my friends who recently were laid off. I think the media has spent so much time tearing down the economy to make sure their person wins the election. The problem is many people are in a funk now and are going to expect way too much from the new president. I really think it will take a long time for my newly laid off friends to go back to full employment because it take a long time for the funk to subside. As bad as things are portrayed the world has not come to an end and many industries are still alive and well. This may sound odd for people who do not run their own business, but I am very busy. After all, it won't really matter if I cannot find work, because that would mean the whole world has come to a complete end!
Well, said James!
George
