Some of you might know that I am in the process of finishing up a manuscript for my second book. Manuscript. I like saying that word. It sounds prestigious and dignified. And the truth is that this book is the culmination of close to seven years of reflection. This book represents the challenges I try to solve when consulting with our business clients. You see, many of my partners and I don’t solely give accounting and tax advice. Often, a simple tax question can turn into a complex discussion of the intricacies of doing business, so we help our clients with all five of their business’s capitals, not just their financial capital and tax-planning needs.

My kids are all grown up now (gulp), so it's been a while since I read Peter Pan, but I have to say: I always loved the story. The thought that you could sprinkle a little pixie dust on something and it would magically work, always intrigued me.
For those of you who know me, it is no secret that I am (well, really, I have been) fat. I wasn't obese, but I have been heavy for as long as I can remember.
(and I Dare You to Disagree)I confess that I hate when people disagree with me. For me, the stress of thinking that I might be incorrect gives me the willies. Admitting I might be wrong?

In my previous article, we discussed structural capital. Today, let's take a look at another equally important piece of intellectual capital: social capital. Social capital is your company's vendors, referrals, referral sources, and your friends.
