How to Rotate Permanently All Pages in PDF Using Ubuntu
If you are too busy to read all my blog articles (say it ain’t so, mama) then you may have missed this nugget of helpfulness. How often does the realtor or lawyer or such fabulous professional need to slap a confidential stamp on a doc? However, today I was sent a confidential document that was lying on its side when…
What is an Entrepreneur and Can We Turn it Off?
What exactly is an entrepreneur and is it possible to turn the switch off? I’ll answer the second question first: No. You can’t. You might drop the ball for a long time but you’ll die unsatisfied if you forever stop action towards building something. Now that we got that out of the way, what is an entrepreneur? My friend sent…
Why Pay for an Accountant When No Legal Duty of Loyalty?
That first page called ‘Notice to Reader’ that comes with your accounting stuff would be better named “Don’t look at me if you get sued for your numbers” because even if you pay an accountant and they screw it up, that page washes away all their liability.

Licensed to Fail
In order to get your license to succeed, you must first get your license to fail from an accredited school of hard knocks.

8 Secrets of Success – Wayne Out There Approved List

Goodbye 2014! Hello 2015!
Well, as the Lord God explicitly laid out for me, 2013 was a ‘year of pain’, 2014 would be a ‘year of recovery’ and 2015 is expected to be a ‘year of gain’. The first two have played out exactly perfectly to a tee. 2015 is a mysterious mystery which lies before me and I’m like a man about to…
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…
Keep it Clean and Don’t Burn Bridges: It’s a Small World After All
It has been a few months since I have been spit out the other end of my coffee shop franchise – the most painful 5+ years of my life. There are not too many people out there who have lost their entire lifetime earnings plus their inheritance, but when this suffering occurs it creates an instant bond with others who…
