A small business can be very relative. I know small businesses that produce seven figure incomes for the owners on as little as 10 Million in revenue. I still consider what my brothers and I own to be a small business and we employ 284 people.
2004 has been a great year for my company and I expect it to finish stronger than the first half of 2004. The most important part is the very mature industries we market to are having a revival as well. They are seeing numbers they have not approached since 1996. While pricing has been slow to recover, volume is back to levels that for the first time in nearly eight years has them adding capacity, buying machinery, raising prices, and adding jobs. My business has grown tremendously in these eight years mainly from kicking the crap out of very large companies that has lost touch with there market not from industry growth. Nearly 65% of my revenue is tied to these mature industries, ( Thought of the Day: Diversify, Diversify, Diversify ) and for the first time in eight years those mature markets are growing at rates thought to have been things of the past.
Tich I don't spread a lot of my personal life or business around on the internet but your welcome to message me privately if you care to discuss my business and how I feel about both candidates as they pertain to my self interests.
