Most Small Businesses expect to grow in'09

I saw an article today in the Atlanta Business Chronicle that lifted my spirits. According to a survey conducted by Constant Contact Inc. 70 percent of small businesses anticipate moderate to significant growth in 2009 despite the recession. 47 percent of small businesses plan on hiring new employee.

Gail Goodman, CEO of Constant Contact said "The results of the survey reveal the optimism and perseverance that so often marks this spirited group of business owners, as well as their adaptability to meet current economic conditions".

I am seeing growth among my own clients '08 to '09. So let's get rid of the glass half empty and go with the glass half full.
