Although the economy has been slow to bounce back from the biggest financial crisis since the Crash of 1929, some maintain a positive outlook on the future of business. In fact, it is important for all businesses to maintain this view on not only their progress but that of business in general. Looking bleakly at the numbers can begin to spread negativity throughout a company, which is difficult to overcome. Also, the economic outlook does not look as discouraging as it did even a year ago. With a positive outlook in business and with economic numbers looking stronger, businesses will be able to thrive in their respective industries in the coming years.

According to Kiplinger, a business forecast and financial advice firm, the GDP (gross domestic product) has seen stronger growth in the second half of 2012. Kiplinger also finds that unemployment is down, housing sales are up and prices are starting to bottom out, and business spending is up this year. That is all good news for companies struggling to cope with weak numbers the last few years.

Moreover, the Polachi survey (conducted by Polachi, Inc.) also serves up some positive news for the business world. According to the survey, 65 percent of venture capitalist leaders are more optimistic and confident about the economy as compared to last year. The fact is that venture capitalists assess the outlook for their respective industries using a longer term lens. Because of this, they view the rate of funding creation, innovation opportunities, and start-ups positively.

What does this mean for companies? That although economic recovery is slow, it is happening. If businesses are to thrive and grow in this type of economy, they must think positively about their future and the future of business.
