Are small business owners giving up? According to a recent poll by Wells Fargo and Gallup, even though small business owners generally report being satisfied with their businesses, fewer of them feel successful than at any other time in the past 10 years. Since this annual survey began in 2003, small business owners’ satisfaction with their businesses has generally stayed the same, hovering near the current 56 percent except for a dip during 2009-2011. But just 37 percent of entrepreneurs in the survey say they feel “extremely or very” successful. That’s down from a height of 47 percent in 2007, right before the Great Recession, and the lowest figure in a decade.
