Just A Small Town Business, Living In A Big Competitive World

Now let’s take everything I have told you so far about optimism and connect it to the business world. Being a new small business can be quite intimidating, I assume. Your business is surrounded by businesses that are larger, more powerful, and have more experience than yours. 

If you are a small business owner, this could be terrifying to think about! Yeah, starting up a business is easy, inexpensive, and you might think everyone will want your product or service because it is so brilliant, but when you face reality, your small business is up against a lot of big giants. Your business is like David in the story of David and Goliath. You might find yourself wondering if your business can even come near to these big giants, let alone survive in this competitive market. Don't let those giants scare you! I’m here to tell you that being an optimistic business owner is a great thing and will really benefit you. Sure, it will be hard to throw away the image of your business as David, and I'm sorry for painting that picture in your head, but if you do become more optimistic your business will conquer Goliath (the big businesses or competitors you are up against), or at least survive even though there is so much competition. 

If your business becomes more optimistic it will not let slight economic problems affect it. If you are optimistic about how your business will do or how the economy is, then you will not let small drops result in the firing of many workers. Recession will just be a word, and it will not scare you. Optimism will allow you and your business to take more opportunities rather than being nervous, conservative, and anxious. You will want to try and do everything you can to expand and improve your business and how you do business. So if you're a small or new business owner who is unsure about how well your company will do, stop, drop that way of thinking, and try the optimistic way. You do not know what the future hold, you do not know what the industry your business is in will be like in a couple years. There is no harm in trying to be optimistic when it comes to your small business, so why not?
