One-person + one helper in Wisconsin:
Started the year normally. March 15-Oct busier than any other year. November was slower than years past. December is definitely slower so far. Maybe it's because of the election? My friend with an apparel shop said the same, slower this Nov/Dec than years past. Overall income increased, but profit was up quite a bit, which is more important. I contribute some of that to time management thanks to SignTracker. I stayed more organized, so I wasn't haphazardly ordering things last minute, I turned down a lot of small jobs - it all helps a little bit. l have a lot of room for improvement in both departments (as some of you know from my past stories LOL)
I have no opinion for 2025. I do see some of my business friends buying more equipment, etc. so I assume they expect things to continue in a positive direction.
Thoughts?
