Barbara Weltman had been up since 6:30 this morning reviewing the final Economic Stimulus package just passed by the Senate when I phoned her for the scoop on the bill’s bennies  for owners of growing businesses.  (President Bush plans to sign it next week.)  It’s recorded here, in the second in our series of interviews with the Venture Pad Collective, a group of hand-picked influential (and very smart) small business experts. 

Barbara will be our guest in the MyVenturepad on February 22, along with Chad Moutray, Chief Economist for the Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy, to discuss “Recession-Proofing Your Business.”  Here’s the link for registration, which is pretty painless if you are already signed up and profiled on MyVenturepad.  The first 100 registrants will receive a free copy of Barbara’s book, J.K. Lasser's Small Business Taxes 2008: Your Complete Guide to a Better Bottom Line.

This webinar is being brought to you by our good friends at SAP.
