It's 10/15 - You Can Sleep Well Tonight
For those of you who are fighting to beat the clock for tonight's tax extension filing deadline, keep in mind a few key points: 1) Friends in California have three extra hours for e-filing tax returns than people in the Eastern time zone; 2) As you drift off to sleep tonight, start thinking about how you can better manage not just your own time but your clients' time, so that you aren't working up to the last minute again when the spring filing deadlines come around; and 3) There is a silver lining associated with having a lousy economy.
Recent research conducted with 3,000 entrepreneurs shows that, while more than a third of entrepreneurs are dealing with stress and sleeplessness, most are optimistic and determined to succeed.
