- The 2018 tax reform is the most significant change to the tax code in over 30 years. When you file your 2018 tax returns — about a year from now — your tax return will look very different. And because most changes don’t happen until then, we have some time to learn about the changes and plan for next year.

Bootstrapper Breakfast Theme for March: Grow Your Network Even If You Are an Introvert
In addition to our regular roundtable there will be a 15 minute exercise led by Theresa Shafer to help grow your network. For Theresa as well as other introverts networking is hard, yet networking is crucial for your business and career advancement. Theresa does NOT want to walk into large crowded places and talk to strangers for extended periods of time, so we will discuss some practical ways to grow your network that is doable for introverts.
We are fortunate to have CJ Lipe of Adminologist.com as our coordinator for South Bay Bootstrapper Breakfasts, she provides contract administrative support for startups and executives, she can be reached at 510-410-5285
