		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick tidbit with a profound quote all professionals should consider:

&#8220;The natural state of communication is misunderstanding.&#8221;

The quote is from Larry Wilson and the hat tip goes to Kevin Stirtz, who has more context on AllBusiness.com.

		<description><![CDATA[With the new year here, one resolution every small business person should keep is keeping track of your mileage. Wherever you go, if it&#8217;s for your business, you can get a deduction on those miles you travel. A simple way to organize would be to keep a spare checkbook register in the car.

		<description><![CDATA[Working from a home office can be one of life&#8217;s great joys. It can also be a big pain in the neck. One of my favorite small business blogs, 10-Second Tips, had a great post yesterday recommending that you take one day a month to clean and organize your home office.

		<description><![CDATA[Flat Creek is not just an outsourcing vendor, but an integrated operating partner, managing your back office and helping you keep track of all your vendor relationships. Often outsourcing gets wrapped up in the offshore debate between IBM and Dell and&#8230; well, seems like it has nothing to do with small businesses. To the contrary, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are lots of good reasons to work for a small company instead of a large corporation, and one of the top has to be added flexibility. But how do you demonstrate that flexibility when talking to a sought-after recruit? One way may be to rethink how you offer paid benefits.

KPMG has launched a new program that may be relatively easy for smaller firms to add to their employee package &#8211; paid leave for volunteer activities. While this shouldn&#8217;t take the place of company-wide volunteer programs, [...]]]></description>

Can you imagine how hard it would be to basically shift an entire project over to a whole new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PC World has a nice round-up of inkjet and laser multifunction printers for personal/home office needs. These multifunctions can be a great workhorse as they combine several functions: printer, scanner, copier, and fax. As they saying goes, they can do all these things in one unit, but they can&#8217;t do them all well. For those [...]]]></description>
