Struggling to Start a New Business?

So you have the idea, you even have some capital to surge forward with your new business. What's stopping you is the question you keep asking yourself. Whether you are a stay at home mom, a corporate person looking for new challenges, a student fresh out of university, becoming an entrepenuer is an exciting challenge!

Gas Prices - Stop Moaning and Start Doing...

I live in Ontario Canada and everyone I know is moaning about how expensive it is now to fill up our cars with gas. How about qutting the moaning and starting to make some changes?

People Are Just Not Getting It!

What is the most important thing to you at this time? An interesting question and even more interesting are some of the answers I get from my audience, especially when I offer one of my popular keynotes entitled, Do You Play Russian Roulette? I ask for audience participation and here are some of the answers I get:

  • My car
