What do you AVOID doing?
Entrepreneurs are good at doing hard things...but not always doing the things that matter.
For example, it's no problem for a founder to work a 13-hour day in their business. Most people woudl say that's "hard" - but owners do it all the time.
It's no problem to get up early and work on our business - I'm writing this at 4:55am. That's 'hard' for most people, and the norm for many of us.
But these are the "easy-hard" …

One of the key habits we teach our clients is the "Golden Hour" - setting aside one hour, every day, to grow your business. This is usually the first hour of the day.
Today, I've asked our entrepreneurs to send their 'future self' a gift. Here are some suggestions:

As someone who lives downtown, it’s sad and frustrating that these are the typical hours for most Queen St. businesses. Not only closed on weekends but after normal office hours as well. Many places can’t be visited unless you take time off from your 9-5.
Has it always been like this? A plaza can only do so much if there’s not much else to do. I think the market is down to one day a week as well?
What can be done to turn the downtown in …

In rough times, your business falls to the level of its systems: its operating systems, its marketing systems, its sales systems. Its survival depends on how well you do these things.
In good times, your business rises to the level of its leadership.
There are several types of leadership (and several ways your leaders can hold the business back.) But the first type of leadership to improve is self-leadership.
That's right: you're the …

When most entrepreneurs get their business running smoothly, they turn their eyes to the next thing: the next level, the next opportunity, the next location, or the next big idea.
This means they no longer spend all of their time caring for, feeding and protecting the Golden Goose. They might entrust its care to someone else…but that person doesn’t have all of the context, experience or knowledge of the business owner.
We call this “moving …

One of the greatest entrepreneurs around town is Jason Katzenback. His success is mostly online, but now he's building a product service in Echo Bay.
Here's an interview I did with Jason about building Amazing.com, and his new venture:

Great news for Canadian small businesses!

This will positively impact 90% of SMEs. A small business processing $300,000 in credit card payments is paying around $4,000 in fees. These changes can save that small business …
