The Secular and Spiritual Need for a Team
This topic has been on my heart a lot and seems to pop up all the time in entrepreneurial discussions and spiritual discussions. In business, it seems there are people who want to start up a company but want to do everything themselves. They want full ownership of the company and want to make sure that all gains for their…

Chewy Junior: When You’re This Yummy, They Call You “Junior”
“Chewy Junior” – There’s just something awesome in the name. I’m not sure if it sounds ‘saucy’ or ‘childish’, but no matter what, whenever I tell my friends I’m going to Chewy Junior, by far Canada’s most exciting franchised food and beverage business to open in recent history, they look at me funny. But that all ends when I flip…
Why Yelp is No So Good
Yes, I did intend to write ‘no so good’. I have an accent so lay off, cut me some slack and throw a dog a bone. I have meaning to post this for a long time and failed but recently there was some article about how Yelp was found to be scammy in the way it deals with reviews, so…

I just wanted to re-post this article as a reference for myself. I’m in the middle of dusting myself off from a business mishap and learning about law, but at some point I won’t be able to avoid another startup or business. It’s in my blood. Sometimes I (and definitely my wife) wish it wasn’t… This article is loaded with…
Google forced by Europe to remove search results?
All I can say is ‘beware’ if this European ruling against Google gains traction. All of the pain mentioned in this BBC article will become real including, but not limited to: censored information like China abuse of power by those with money to fight in court (ie. a company with a lot of money could have the whistle blowing work…
Scammy Moves by Financial Institutions
For now I’m going to spare my ‘financial institution’ the bad press they deserve. I’m going to remove their name from this and I’m going to give them about six months to one year to see how they treat me as a prime borrower. If they goof up any major (or minor) thing I’m going to come back to this…
