Small businesses are the backbone of our economy.

We expect all our businesses to have a positive impact on our top and bottom lines. Profitability is very important to us or we wouldn't be in this business.

I do believe that any successful business starts from the top and works its way down.

I've felt a little culpable that we entrepreneurs often invent businesses just to drive people to buy more things.

We are going through tough economic times but things are looking up, and the indicators are improving not only for large corporations but also for small business.

There are lots of businesses that are well in excess of $9 billion that have gone into bankruptcy, that have been mismanaged. And that has not served anyone very well.

Small businesses are really the engine in the economy.

Business is at the heart of America and always has been.

However, the economics of our business continued to deteriorate. We barely escaped bankruptcy a year ago, and in the aftermath of that escape we had to make some even tougher decisions.

I believe business has to do well and that the surrounding communities do well.
