Business is all about relationships and regularly attending good networking events is one of the best ways to build those relationships. Getting to know people face to face at an event gives you the opportunity to really learn about one another and how you can help one another. It allows you the chance to find out what the other person does, who their ideal client is, and what their unique selling proposition is. Continue Reading

I always view September as a second new year. The kids are going back to school, the hussle and bussle of the summer holidays are passed, and life is returning to normal. Now is the time that we set up our routines that will help us make it through to next July and hopefully for the rest of our lives. One long term thought that stands out at the beginning of the fall season is financially preparing for post secondary education. Continue Reading

Recently I was given a great book by Robin Sharma, The Leader Who Had No Title. As with all of Robin Sharma’s books, this one was full of simple and practical wisdom. You may have guessed the premise of the book from the title, but the truth is you do not need a title to be a leader. Whether you are a one person operation, an employee, or a CEO of a large corporation you have a responsibility to bring out the leader in you. Continue Reading

Summer vacation is finally here and hopefully the weather stays pleasant. Now is not the time that people want to think about such a stoic subject as saving, but I happen to disagree. If I could show you a simple, painless, and even fun way to save for your next pleasurable purchase such as a big screen TV, vacation, or toy would you be interested? Continue Reading

If you have ever watched The Secret or heard of the Law of Attraction you know the path to success in anything is to focus on what you want and keep your thoughts on the positive. I happen to know through experience that this is a simple fact of life. This does not mean that I believe in sitting and wishing that all my dreams will come true. What it means is that when we think about what we want we are moved to act in ways that will get us there. Continue Reading

The cold hard facts are that you can get whatever product or service you are offering to your clients in a whole number of places. What you need to realize is that, while the product or service is for the most part easily duplicatable, how you deliver it is what makes it unique. Every business needs to find its own unique signature for how it conducts business. Continue Reading

Summer is finally here and the kids are almost out of school. Trips to the lake, national parks, summer camps for our children, and just to get away from it all are on the minds and schedules of many people. We make sure to pack our bathing suits, our golf clubs, some summer reading, sunscreen, and bug spray, but how many check to make sure you have proper travel coverage. Continue Reading

I’m an avid collector of Air Miles. Being an anal retentive shopper I know my prices, stick almost 100% with Safeway, and regularly look for bonus Air Miles offers in the store on the items I regularly use. By consciously collecting I accumulate a fair number quite quickly. If you gas up at Shell, get your home improvement stuff at Rona or Totem, and like Boston Pizza you can also collect Air Miles. With more stores than I can name offering Air Miles you have plenty of opportunities to collect. Continue Reading
