(Newswire.net — August 23, 2017) Hudson, WI — While some believe we are on the verge of yet another economic downturn, others believe we haven’t yet emerged from the recession of 2008. With entrepreneurship accounting for the vast majority of employment in the United States, the negative net of business startups every year since 2008 paints a disconcerting picture of the future.

Jobs continue to decline and the U.S. now ranks 12th among developed nations in business startup activity, according to Gallup, which accounts for the loss of about 70,000 businesses per year. These companies of 20 or fewer employees, which account for 89.4% of employment firms in the United States, are rapidly disappearing. So what can we do to change this trend?

There is no simple answer to the issue at hand, nor one solution. Clearly, backing small businesses is important in supporting the majority of employment in our country. Spending with corporations does not return anywhere near as much of your dollar as spending with a local small business does.

Lacking confidence, many people are denying themselves the dream of owning a business because they feel it may be too great a risk. Recently, a group of thought leaders from a variety of industries got together to create “Amazing Workplace: Creating the Conditions that Inspire Success.” Together, the authors reflect on their own success and provide information on what it takes to create a successful business from day one. This book explains tenets on leadership in the workplace and in your personal life, no matter what your passion may be.

Continued support of the top 1% of businesses will not benefit your community, your family, your friends, or yourself. To ensure the continued success of the local restaurants, farms, stores, and entertainment companies that we all love so dearly, and to assure the growth of new small businesses, we must collectively support them. We must push aside the “cannot” and focus on the “can” when pursuing our dream of starting a business. A lack of confidence in today’s business environment is an understandable obstacle. Amazing Workplace is here to help.
