INDIANA RISES THROUGH RANKS OF BUSINESS-FRIENDLY STATES
|
In a recent
CNBC study, Indiana was ranked among the top 20 states for business. In fact, since last year, it has moved up five spots on the list - from 16 to 11.
This score was determined based on input from a wide variety of business experts, government sources and the states themselves. CNBC scores the states on 64 metrics across 10 main categories: economy, workforce, infrastructure, cost of doing business, quality of life, education, technology and innovation, business friendliness, access to capital, and cost of living.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW ... ASK THE QUESTION!
|
By Lisa Purichia
Partner, Director of Accounting & Retirement Plan Services

An image of confidence seems crucial in the business world, and perhaps that's why so many businesspeople hesitate to ask questions. They don't want to appear as though they don't know what they're doing.
"Fake it until you make it" is a popular piece of advice, but it might not be the best to follow in the long run. Rising through the ranks of the business world is about curbing your ego, being vulnerable and admitting what you don't know. Don't be afraid to ask questions!

Sponsel Family Fun
We like to work hard and play hard. That's why we try to have fun outside the office when we can, especially during the summer. Here's a photo from a recent company outing to an Indianapolis Indians game, which was open to Sponsel staff members' families as well.
