Hey guys. Small business owner here in the green industry.

For small business owners, how strong are your sales now? Still going strong or are things slow for you?

Sales for us are considerably slower compared to the past few years. I don’t know if I would call it a recession, but the high of the pandemic money is definitely long gone. This year doesn’t appear as though it is going to be a stellar year, more of a struggle to keep all crews busy.

Big ticket sales are considerably down for us and we are getting much more price pushback than we have had in quite a number of years.

I went into this year hoping the economy would be strong, but now I am beginning to get very pessimistic.
