<p>Scotland County, North Carolina business owners are toughing it out, but negative population demographics, exploding property taxes, government subsidized competition and neighbouring counties willing to offer better services at lower prices are stiff headwinds to buck. Even used car dealers, which had been considered largely immune from current trends are now beginning to experience sales erosion, as buyers go online to shop (in some cases hundreds of miles away) for the lowest price, best selection and lowest cost financing.</p>
<p>Things are going to get even tougher for those that refuse to understand what's going on and are unwilling to learn what must be done to survive and thrive in tomorrow's economy.</p>
<p>CCN pays close attention to economic and social trends. We hope you will find this video helpful. As always, you decide.</p>
