It's Friday! Normally, I'd post the results of our weekly survey, but since we didn't have one this week, I've poached one from Gallup. While the results aren't earth-shaking, or even surprising, they found that Americans still think the economy's in big trouble, with 86% of the people surveyed saying that the economy is getting worse.
However, I've heard talk in the blogosphere suggesting that small business owners and entrepreneurs have a different take on the economy—and that many actually see opportunity. As an entrepreneur, or someone who would like to start a small business, are you concerned about the direction of the economy? And do you think things are getting worse—or looking up? Let us know what you think.
Also, please check in on Monday, when I'll post the question for next week's survey!

I'm always amazed at the ability of entrepreneurs to take heed to the ideological phrase, "for every adversity there is an equal or greater opportunity." It may sound like Green Peace is winning the battle on this one, but rising food prices, demand for freshness, and a little personal ingenuity has led WSJ to report on suburban farmers. I think maybe the adage should be change from: "When there is blood in the street, buy real estate" to "When the real estate sector sucks, grow vegetables."
