Thriving in Uncertain Times: Why Strategic Planning & AI Matter for Small Businesses in 2026

You are invited to join us on January 8th-Join the conversation.

Come with your questions, your curiosity, and your desire to build something that lasts.

As we step into a new year, many small business owners are asking the same questions:

• What will the economy look like in 2026?

• How can I protect my business if things slow down?

• Where do I even start with new tools like AI?

Economic uncertainty is real. Prices are changing, customers are more cautious, and access to capital can still be a challenge, especially for micro and small businesses. But uncertainty doesn’t have to mean defeat. It can be the spark that pushes us to plan smarter, get more creative, and use new tools to work for us instead of against us.

At JD Wms Diversity Group, our focus for 2026 is simple:

Help small business owners survive and grow through strategic planning, creativity, and smart use of technology, especially AI.
