Work Hard, Play Hard
Whenever I mention the word “fun” to a group of business owners, they tend to roll their eyes and think work it just work, it’s not suppose to be fun. The new generation of workers will challenge this idea in a big way.
Did you know that laughter actually creates a bond that brings others together? Imagine a place where employees enjoy one another and share a laugh or two. It may be hard to do but employees who enjoy their time at work will excel. In fact, a fun workplace is not only more productive but it attracts people, profits and customers who like to work with happy people.
2011 Tax Rates
“What will happen to tax rates in the future?” is one of the most popular questions tax accountants get from our clients. The question is even more crucial in the very turbulent time we are in when it comes to taxes right now. Substantial legislation is needed for both personal income taxes and estate taxes in the next year. Although we know Congress is working on resolving these issues for 2011 and beyond, we aren’t sure what the ending outcome will be: Will tax rates go up? Will only the top two brackets go up? One thing is for sure, changes are coming.
