Since you have the need to be held by the hand in order to comprehend the obvious, I'm here to help.
My energy sales and consultation business.
Many existing customers have come back to me stating they're ready for upgrades to LED and other energy saving measures. I always ask "just curious, why are you looking into this now, and not when we signed the energy agreement"? It just made sense to begin at the time of the Agreement signage
Answer is almost always that they have more capital to invest in improvements, money that wasn't available until tax breaks. Most of my clients run multiple very small businesses. Every dollar counts. Now, almost a third of my clients that sign or renew agreements are immediately looking to invest in improvements / upgrades.
As for the chess business, tax breaks for families are a big help to our business. Parents have a little more expendable income...But... The biggest thing, the economy here is running on all cylinders for the upper middle class. A lot of our kids parents are doing better now than ever. That's just a fact.
Many have bought more expensive homes (and asked us to begin classes in their new areas of DFW.) Prior to us expanding our business at our customers insistence, we ran two locations and had about 40-50 kids per week. It was more of a hobby than an all out business. Now we're in five locations, plus we are in two after school programs. Weekly we now have over 200 kids per week in classes ($10 net per student) from our 15 total classes we hold. In addition we run several summer chess camps (already at capacity for this summer) hold seven tournaments a year.
A lot of that was hard work, and being focused on the customer needs. Two years ago could this have been possible? Not on your life, pal. We have to strike while the economy is hot and we know it. We know our business.
Go ahead. Deny reality. Won't bother me a bit
