My analysis about the economy is that it is in a Slow Motion Recovery. We have turned a corner, and the largest, most resilient economy in the world is now refreshed, healthy and ready to move to greater heights. But it won’t happen immediately.
For the full analysis, along with graphs for leading economic indicators, read the full economic summary here: “Slow Motion Recovery“
Using key economic indicators, I’ve prepared my monthly Economic News Summary. I’ve poured over the graphs and numbers to bring you my analysis and predictions. Here’s an excerpt:
The student turns into the master? The Federal Reserve pumped millions of dollars into the economy as chairman Ben Bernanke, an expert on the Great Depression of the 1930’s, learned from mistakes made then. The fear with his approach was that inflation would run wild. So far inflation remains low (see link below); the banking system has been stabilized, and moderate growth has returned.

David Weatherholt talks with Dan Sullivan, Mayor of Anchorage, about the relationship between government and small business. Throughout the decades, government regulation has been pilloried, but without some key legislation, our business environment would be unstable, recessions would be less predictable and small businesses would find it difficult to thrive.
Dan Sullivan shares his business background and the similarities between running a business and a municipal government.
Later in the show, Amanda Cullen, of Zoo in a Jungle Marketing, explains relationship marketing and how small businesses can develop strategies to build relationships with their customers. Strong customer relationships lead to stronger loyalty, more numerous customer referrals and higher profits.

Alaska Municipal Government, Small Business and Customer Relationships
On his radio show “Getting Down to Business,” David Weatherholt talks with Bob Poe, gubernatorial candidate for Alaska. Poe discusses his views on the relationship between government and small business– what it looks like currently and what he thinks it should be. This is a great opportunity for small businesses in Alaska to hear the candidate talk about issues affecting their livelihoods.
Also, David speaks with the deputy director of the SBA about the changes enacted last week by the SBA program. Finally, David introduces the show with a history of recessions, how government intervention has helped or hurt the economy and why we no longer call them “economic panics.”
All considered, this episode of “Getting Down to Business” is full of essential knowledge for small businesses.
