To translate the stimulus into sustainable growth, we need incentives for business innovators.

This is a good article by the founder and CEO of LinkedIn, a web service for professional networking. If you’re not familiar with it think of it as Facebook for professionals and your “profile” is your résumé. If you’re not familiar with Facebook…where’ve you been??

I like the ideas put forth by Mr. Hoffman as we are, in fact, a small business. We know the triumphs and tragedies of being a small business and working to build a small business. We are actually quite blessed and very fortunate to have some very good clients that are still in need of our services even during these trying economic times. So while we may not need some of what he’s proposing directly, having some of those options available and being able to take advantage of them would certainly be something to consider.

Any other small business owners want to contribute to the conversation?
