Members of Starnet had the opportunity to hear economist Alan Beaulieu, president of ITR Economics, share his outlook for 2018 at the group’s annual meeting in Florida. Besides being an economist, he knows a bit about the flooring business. Beaulieu was a carpet installer during college and “has feelings about it —particularly in his knees.” Ha ha.
Are your numbers growing this year? If so, Beaulieu says to, “stop sleeping and start worrying because it’s likely that you’ll just not see the train coming.”
