Subscribe to Community-wide general discussion How is your business doing?

Just wanted to ask fellow Biznik members "how is your business doing lately"?

I'm a mortgage broker and despite the doom and gloom stories you read in the press, my business has picked up this month to its highest level since May of this year. I'm curious if its a function of a rising economy or purely related to some of my recent efforts. Either way, I won't complain!!

Let me know how your year-end is shaping up! Please share your thoughts why your business is in its present state. Cheers!

    Hi Charlie,

    Great to know that your business is doing well. Iam sure you will be much more successful in future as well.

    Since the time i joined Biznik, have managed to elicit a lot of interest amongst fellow Bizniks in my services. Otherwise also having a fairly decent run on business front for the past one year...

    Way to go, Charlie!

    Business has been picking up for me, too. It's great to see my efforts to come to fruition!

    Just this week, 2 new clients signed up for Inspired Home Office consulting, my e-newsletter subscriptions are coming in in droves, and I've been asked to moderate a teleseminar for a design association (paid gig).

    Not a bad week at all. :)

    Hi Charlie

    Thats a good question. I love my business and it is happy and thriving because of all the systems I have put into place all year and the programs and I developed.

    Like Jennifer, I am getting a lot of people going to my website and subscribing to my free newsletter. I think this is due to my internet marketing efforts.

    I am looking at my vision board for 2007 and I have achieved all but one thing ( still a couple weeks left). I am looking forward to making my new board for 2008!

    Hi Charlie, I work with a lot of small to medium sized businesses and I've noted that those who have decided that it's a bad economy are seeing their profits drop and their businesses slow down. Those who say it may be getting worse, we just have to find ways to be better are seeing their businesses improve. A lot of it is attitude.

    Richard,

    Thanks for the observations - attitude is the key, especially when there are challenges. In my own case, I am determined to work with thoes who need my help irrespective of the economy or season ... and I'm finding them.

This forum is unmoderated, but please keep discussion courteous and not too far off topic.
