Podcast: Signs of Economic Recovery Abound

Posted on | June 23, 2009 | Comments Off

There’s an awful lot of pain out there still, so that my headline may seem like a case of overstating the positives.

But there are quite a few very positive signs out there, signs that improvements are coming even if they are not already here. It’s a bit like that tickle you get in the back of you throat that lets you know you’re in the process of catching a cold, if you see what I mean …

This week’s news also sees the first of this summer’s Microbusiness Profiles, and what could be better than a woman with the courage to launch a business only six months after the financial markets collapsed? I really enjoyed my conversation with Gladys Strickland and, from the MNB trivia files, you may be interested to know that we found each other via Twitter.

I’m getting more and more concerned the more I watch the SBA come back to life under the Obama Administration. If I am to judge him by his appointments, his tenure in the White House may not bode well for microbusinesses. The jury is still out but the writing on the wall is looking ominous.

How’s that for a set of frighteningly mixed metaphors?
