Barbara The Production Director has finally thawed after her trek up north to Wisconsin for the MyBusiness press check. And while she's glad to be home, we're thrilled with how great the February/March issue turned out. Over the next few days, NFIB members across the country will be finding copies in their mailboxes.

So what are some of the must-read stories in this issue for small-business owners? We love the one on becoming the perfect leader . Who doesn't dream of an office where everyone works hard, gets along and goes home happy every night? (Not to brag, but that's about how it is at Hammock.) For small businesses looking for ways to grow (who isn't?), we suggest taking a look at the story on how to decide if you're ready to take your business overseas. Besides, writing-off trips to Europe doesn't sound too bad to us.

Speaking of write-offs, the February/March issue includes our annual guide to small-business taxes. With April 15 just around the corner, you'll want to check out all the ways you can keep more of your hard-earned money. As always, this issue is chocked full of ideas and tips on running your business, plus a lighter look at the life of an entrepreneur.

And if you like getting free stuff (like a lifetime membership to NFIB and $20,000 in Dell equipment), be sure to enter the Dell/NFIB Small Business Excellence in Customer Experience Award. (Applications available beginning Feb. 8.)
