Fear is the biggest threat to US businesses in 2027.

In a strategic presentation by Suzanne P. Clark, President and CEO of the US Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber leader said business decisions need to be made on free enterprise principals.

Most important is being able to respond to people and what they need and not make decisions based on marketplace fear.

She said 3% economic growth is a good target that will insure higher wages and a better standard of living for Americans.

On America’s 250 Anniversary, plan for the new year and shoot for that 3% growth in your business and hopefully more.

You can get there if you plan, project costs, have good employees and the vision to win new customers, growth within your current customer base.  And remember, sales is the front line of your success.
