Small Business Owners: What’s Keeping You Busy Right Now?

Small business owners — what type of business or service do you honestly see doing REALLY well right now in today’s economy?

 

Not the “Instagram perfect” answer… I mean the businesses that are actually staying busy, profitable, and growing consistently.

 

What’s working for you right now?

• Service based business?

• Home services?

• Online sales?

• Construction?

• Cleaning?

• Food industry?

• Mobile businesses?

• AI/tech?

• Trade work?

 

Also curious:

- What’s slowed down lately?

- What are customers spending the most money on right now?

- What’s one thing that unexpectedly helped your business grow?

 

I think a lot of small business owners could learn from each other right now. Interested to hear real experiences from real people.

    I own a poop scooping business so the first couple of months of the year is absolute chaos (spring rush and a yard full of dog poop over the winter means A LOT of people want their yard cleaned once the weather gets warmer). Our leads have definitely slowed down once May hit so I'm actively working on re-activation campaigns of past customers, sending out longer prepayment bundles to current clients so they stay with us throughout our slow season and collect more cash up front.
