Demise Of A Small Business

As time moves along I find that I am running out of steam, having just finished the complete reorganization of our business that I built over the last 30 years you just get tired. Now don’t think that I am not appreciative of the opportunity to try to start over without my kick ass store on Main St. where we sold kitchens, baths, built inns, and free standing furniture one of the last places in Southern California where you can find quality from the old world. Our Mission Furniture is tops in the industry. Now we work out of a factory showroom off the beaten path. We watched as as our business shrunk from 17 employees to 4 and saw our retirement and savings used to keep things afloat. We are very resilient people maybe that is why our business flourished for so long and we will overcome the Obama doctrine of out with the old business and in with the new. Only one problem the new are propped up by our government to succeed through grant money not business loans. I am not crying I am just worried about what is going on. Is President Obama taking us to the leftist side of the world? He has shown us how he is controlling the media with his manufactured anger ploy to help get his health bill passed. We need to elect fiscally responsible people to Congress in 2010 and to the White House in 2012. I keep looking back at one tape of an Obama stump speech where he talked about small business, and lied through his teeth on what he would do for small business if elected. So much for truth in advertising. After not missing payroll for thirty years I can’t even get a line of credit, by the way it seems to be getting harder and harder to be optimistic.
