Entrepreneur Challenge: Building a bad ass network

September 20, 2016 No Comments

The secret to my success: Community No matter what you hope to achieve in life I cannot understate the incredible value of building a strong and diverse personal community. It is without any reservation that I can say that I am where I am today because of the amazing people that have supported me along the way. They have freely offered their knowledge when I’ve requested it, they have caringly shared their support when I’ve needed it and they have...

“Have clear objectives and then block out time for the things that are most important whether it’s sales calls or date night with the wife.”

I got a lesson in #worklifebalance from the master Gene Bernier of Cheeky Monkey Media.

“People can invest their time and money anywhere, you need to get out into the community and build strong relationships so you give them a reason to do business with you.”

I got to watch some great #hockey and talk #business with Dr. Ryan R Blueof @Active Active Care Chiropractic for today’s#20Enrepreneurs20Questions.

“The difference between a successful entrepreneur and someone who doesn’t make it is simply their ability to battle through in really hard times and never quit or throw in the towel.”

One of the most successful #entrepreneurs I know Alex Miller of MVP Modern Barbers Kelowna and Visland Media gave me his 2 cents on never saying quit for today’s #20Enrepreneurs20Questions.

#NeverQuit #SuccessWillCome #Grind #Hustle

“Don’t get caught up in the drama of VCs and their demand for 10x returns, find the people and companies that you are building your product for, show them value and make them true believers. They will be all the investment you will ever need.”

Aaron Kilback founder of JA2 Applications Inc. gave me an #Education on#RaisingCapital in today’s #20Enrepreneurs20Questions.

And big announcement… Aaron and JA2 Applications Inc. have just signed on to be my first big client for my new marketing company!

“To scale your business you need to believe in your products, your products need to be amazing and you need to build cheerleaders out of everyone that buys or sells your stuff.”

I met Dave Weatherill owner of Briteland Holdings Ltd. and Chemac Industries to talk #Distribution and #Performance for#20Enrepreneurs20Questions.

“Just cause you build a website doesn’t mean customers can find your business. You have to build great content and you need it to optimize the crap out of it”

Today’s #20Enrepreneurs20Questions was with #SEOGuro Sean Glendinning, owner of such websites as Fitness.com and @Studentscolarships.com where I learned that content may be king but he doesn’t wear the crown without an army of SEO.

How awesome would it be to have a virtual assistant? Someone to organize your life and take care of all the stuff you don’t want to do.

I met with Robert Dawson of topsearchresult.ca to talk about his#VirtualAsstant and how she has changed his business/life.

Entrepreneur Challenge: Why only execution matters

September 11, 2016 No Comments

“Vision without execution is delusion” – Thomas A. Edison” Do you have a big idea? A crazy dream? A grand plan? Well, what’s stopping you from bringing it to life? Are you stalled in planning or are you, like most of us, lacking the push towards execution? If you ask any true entrepreneur they will tell you that ideas are a dime a dozen. Even if you think you have the next million dollar idea, the reality is that not only...
