I own a hair salon. Typically, November is my busiest season. It has been SO quiet. A lot of my colleagues are also saying the same thing and have had to close up shop because of it - or get a second job.

People keep saying it will get better and the economy will bounce back but I don’t know. I am so close from just throwing in the towel, closing up shop and getting a corporate gig.

    I run a small to mid size contracting company. We do a lot of development punchlist work and higher end renovations, alterations and finish.

    My residential work pays . My developer work is going to bankrupt me waiting on payments .

    We are looking for ways to expand or steady income, smaller handiman services and smaller in out cash flow projects while we work with developers and Chase our monies

    We Are hoping that this will. Keep up thru the large valley in the economy that we all face.

    Everyone watching the shelves get scarcer of inventory in the stores

    Home Depot and Lowe’s is showing it, cvs, Walgreens and the super Markets as well!

    It is gonna take a lot of creativity to stay this
