Joe Laciak to Speak at Chesterton/Duneland Chamber Luncheon

Wednesday, May 26, 2010, 11:30 AM
Westchester Public Library Service Center, 100 W. Indiana Ave., Chesterton, IN

Last year was a big wake up call for small business owners. Despite working harder than ever, many felt they paid too much in taxes, or profits fell short of expectations, or both.

Unfortunately, the challenge continues in 2010. With excessive spending coming from Washington, undoubtedly the government will make every effort to recoup this money from every available source – including you, the taxpayer.  And if you plan on borrowing this year, it’s a fact that money remains tight due to regulations imposed on the banking industry.

As we emerge from the Great Recession, the playing field has changed, as well as the players. The weak are gone; the strong remain, but the strategies that made you successful in the past won’t guarantee your success going forward.

Given these challenges, what steps should you take this year to take control of your business and regain control of your life?  Joe Laciak, Founder and President of Laciak>cpa, will offer guidance in these important areas.
