When a business consistently faces low sales, minimal customer engagement, and rising operational costs driven by tariffs and inflation, the outcome is inevitable. Every company has its breaking point, and we reached ours.

Let’s set the record straight: if you believe the stock market and corporate earnings define a healthy economy, you’re wrong. The real measure of economic strength comes from small businesses — the backbone of our communities. Want the truth? Ask a small business owner, “How are you doing?” You’ll get a far more accurate picture of the economy than any Wall Street report could offer.

A roiling stock market and overinflated corporate profits are meaningless if small businesses are shutting down. It’s time to stop ignoring reality. Small business owners see what’s really happening — and their voices matter. If you haven’t asked them yet, now’s the time. Regrettably, for many of us, the opportunity has already passed.
