As a small business owner myself, I see the ramifications of our poor policy making on a daily basis. I'm not going to get political on here (although those of you who know me know where I stand), but it is a fact that the uncertainty in the economy has lead to a stale and stagnant outlook.
The million dollar question? How do I stay relevant in this economy to a starving or flat business owner? That's the issue. The solution? Offer yourself, services, or products in an attempt to either create extreme value, or slash their prices so drastically that they are happy with the savings, even if they have a slightly inferior product.
That's my two-cents. What's yours?
The article below is a great perspective on the economy from an agents point of view. Many business owners should be able to relate to it. Happy reading!
