But all we have is a few promises of payment. Then there are the collection fees. I've already begun to eat into my hard-won line of credit, small as it is. Good thing I have that to fall back on. Wearing as the ride has been lately, I have new reasons to be optimistic.
Permanent placements seem about to take off, too.
In the past 10 days, we've received about 20 new orders for permanent staffing. It's as if some business god is watching over my tiny company. Just as I'm about to make drastic cuts or lay off good employees, he or she pulls me out of the hole. For the first time, I'm planning for the next one. With my fiscal year closing on Sept. 30, I'm closely auditing all of last year's expenses and forecasting the next fiscal year's sales conservatively.
