How's Business 2014/2015 Poll
Since most business owners have closed out
the books for 2014 by now, we felt is was an appropriate time to poll our participants and ask how their business fared last year. We're also
interested in hearing your prediction for business in 2015. Let us know
by voting in our latest poll - current
results for the poll will be displayed immediately after voting,
and you may return and view results at any time by clicking the "Vote
Now and View Results" link.
