Hopefully you came through tax season without owing too much, and maybe even got a refund!  Did you know it took until April 12th for Americans to earn enough this year to pay all their taxes?  They call it Tax Freedom Day and the date changes year to year, State to State. Now that we all have that burden behind us, we can focus on growing our businesses the remainder of the year. 

 

I hope you'll join me for the next Lunch and Learn on May 26, where you'll pick up some marketing tips for your business.  Register here.  View my entire 2011 Event Calendar here

 
Check out the article links below for the latest business building tips and news that can impact your business.  For more information, check out our weekly blog, published every Tuesday.

 

I'd love to hear from you soon.  Let me know how I can help you grow your business.

  

  

Sincerely,

 

Lori
