Manage episode 450063521 series 3540497
Do elections actually have an impact on business? What do you think?
This week, Isabelle dives into the complex dynamics of election years and how they impact small businesses. With a lot for debate on the ballot this year, the economy is a hot topic for business owners this year. Isabelle dissects the feelings of small business owners and what surveys say about public opinion..
A recent survey from Entrepreneur.com found that 39% of small business owners lack confidence that beneficial policies will be enacted within the next year. Meanwhile, a surprising 15% of business owners—across political lines—believe that government policies won’t significantly impact their business at all.
Is the small business owner stress and borderline-hysteria a “placebo effect”? Is everyone just on edge during election years, where media and political rhetoric amplify anxiety? Isabelle emphasizes the importance of staying grounded in core values, brand identity, and long-term goals rather than allowing external factors to shake your foundation.
This week we’re answering your questions about Election Years in business - tune in to find out how to navigate these odd times in business... And politics.
