Thriving or Surviving

Another great read for you passed on from our president, Mike Landram. This one is from Entrepreneur.com. They have calculated 10 (and a half) business trends to watch for in our current economy, including:

• economic turmoil
• green power
• the senior market
• discount retail
• local business
• education
• parental outsourcing
• health and wellness
• texas
• affordable alcohol
• pets

As we all know, even in difficult economic times some industries will thrive, while others struggle. For example, as you will see, consumer spending on pets has not lessened in spite of a down economy - it's going up. Find out what you should be making note of in our current economic climate, and whether or not you can fit into one of those "thriving" segments.
