A new TD Bank survey just dropped and the contrast is wild.
85% of small business owners expect revenue to grow through the end of the year. But 97% say they feel unprepared in at least one area of their business.
And what tops the unprepared list?
Technology and AI. 40% say AI adoption is where they feel shakiest.
Here is the twist: 99% of them are already USING AI. So it is not about starting. It is about using it on purpose instead of just vibes.
Confidence without a plan is hope with better branding. If you are in the 40%, you do not have to stay there.
No judgment, just a plan.
