INTERVIEW: February 13, 2013 on Fox News

Monday, November 5, 2012 — With hours before the election, small business owners have a lot to consider.

With the race as tight as it is one thing is clear, our nation is divided. We are divided on the strategy and the candidate that will move us forward. Specifically for small business owners, this clear divide forces us to come to one clear conclusion, there may not be one clear answer for how we will move forward.

There are real challenges that are facing our country. These challenges clearly impact our daily life as business owners. They impact us by forcing us to ask ourselves questions like, “Do we hire?” and “Do we continue to invest the type of dollars that we have been into our marketing budgets?”.

With the reality that things may only get tougher, small business owners are looking harder at these major questions that face their business daily. For some, they will come to the conclusion that they must continue to be aggressive to move their business forward. This means to continue to hire, continue to invest and continue to bet on their company’s mission statement. For others, it will mean to be conservative, wait to invest in that new office space and to cut back on staff. These questions are difficult, they are real and worst of all the answers may not be as simple as Democrat or Republican, as some try to make it seem.

With hours before the election, small business owners are thinking about what our world will look like over the next four years. Will things improve? Do we believe that anybody is the right fit for the jobs in Washington? Do we trust? While small business owners have their attention and minds focused on the political ticker in the background, they are surely are also laser focused on the only thing that will truly keep them moving forward – their business. The results of this election will not result in the closure of any small business. That closure will only come at the hands of the small business owner.

At this critical moment, small business owners are paying attention but are also aware that the only thing that they can directly control (especially if you don’t reside in the few swing states deciding this election) is to keep your nose down and keep your business moving forward.

INTERVIEW: August 31, 2012 on Fox News

By: The Hill

MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 2012 — As an entrepreneur who runs a small business, I know no one feels the plight of our current economic situation more than I do. I live and die with each client I work to retain. Each deal I am able to close enables me to keep my doors open. It is a reality that I was thrust into quickly as I launched my entrepreneurial projects after college in the post-Sept. 11, 2001, world.

With the current inactivity in Washington on both sides of the aisle, businesses are at a standstill. Democrats and Republicans alike are responsible for our prolonged economic downturn. Money is not being invested, credit is not being offered, and jobs are not being created. In this economic climate, all small-business owners are working to keep their heads above water.

As the 2012 presidential election approaches, it is the responsibility of all small-business owners and entrepreneurs to demand specific plans from both candidates that address how they will handle the difficulties facing small-business owners. Clear plans are needed, as are specifics on how each candidate plans to turn the tide of our struggling economy. Small-business owners are the swing vote that will have a lot of power when it comes to the ballot box this election year. Not often realized, 99 percent of all independent enterprises in the country employ fewer than 500 employees, representing more than 52.6 million U.S. workers. By contrast, 47.7 million Americans work for organizations with more than 500 employees.

As the job-creation engine of America, small businesses employ more than half of the American workforce and have created more than 60 percent of all new jobs over the past 15 years. During this election cycle, it is our duty as small-business owners and American citizens to make sure our candidates answer the tough questions on the economy. The days of cliches and idle chatter need to be put to rest. Tangible ideas and accountability should be and will be the new prerequisite for our country’s greatest office.
