Staples Small-Business Survey Reveals People are Constantly … - FOX News- BuildingWebsiteNews

Of those, 58 percent said they resolve to increase business, while only 21 percent said they want more time off. The Internet poll - which surveyed 300+ small businesses with no more than 20 employees - explored what is causing the insatiable need to work, as well as the obstacles preventing these hard-working Americans from enjoying their free time afforded by previous generations. When asked to compare their businesses to a track and field event at the Olympics, a mere 14 percent said their business operates like a relay race, with everybody working in tandem toward the same goal, whereas 26 percent think of business operations as a 100-meter dash, always sprinting and trying to do everything quickly. And, finally, to "wake" and shake things up in their business, nearly a quarter of those surveyed said they would hire Starbucks' CEO Howard Schultz (to help expand); slightly more than 20 percent would hire Donald Trump (to seize opportunities); and nearly 14 percent reported they would bring in Richard Branson (to help think outside the box). In January, to help small business customers get organized for the New Year, Staples will be offering 20 percent back in rewards on all products from our best brands, including Avery, Post-It, Sharpie, Scotch, QuickBooks, Swingline, HON, Uni-ball, Quartet, GBC and Command. read more
