Below you’ll find a list of services that we provide. My entrepreneurial experience has led me down many paths, over the years. As a free and open-minded thinker, I realized early on in life that it was all about the journey and not the destination. I’ve worked with a lot of very talented individuals and that learning experience alone is worth a lifetime of forced knowledge.

Once we ran a small ad for a coffee shop in our magazine and after the first issue the advertiser called and said her ad wasn’t working and she didn’t want to run it again. 3 reasons why… ad was too small, didn’t say anything of interest and she only ran it once.

Accounting & Financial Planning
My partner has over 25 years experience as an accountant, and senior accounting supervisor, as well as a licenced insurance agent. Her experience includes basic bookkeeping, auditing, trade agreements, income tax returns, accounts payables/receivables, financial analyst and planning. In addition, we can also provide guidance and consultation with spreadsheet data setup and analysis, financial forecasting, and project estimating.
Many small businesses work with little or no financial plans. It's as important to have a good 1-5 year plan when building or growing your business as it is to have a plan for building a house. It's your blueprint for success.
We would be happy to consult with you on all your financial matters..

Publishing, Editing and Writing
As an avid reader of books and magazines, I was always fascinated with print media. The production of any publication is a very creative and inspiring experience. From start to finish involves a great deal of planning, from the title name, layout sketches, colour, artwork, photography, price and of course copywriting.

As a former Publisher and Managing Editor of a lifestyle magazine and other books, I experienced first hand what it takes to get your finished product out to the consumer.
I can freely admit that before I got involved in this business I new very little. But having already started and owned other ventures, I took this on as an entrepreneurial challenge. Over the years, I wore several hats from managing editor, writer, layout artist, sales advisor and the development of 3 company websites. Hiring involved bringing on board layout artists, a compliment of writers and of course your sales team.
If you are thinking about getting into the publishing business, I would be happy to guide you through the process and my experiences. If you are already in the business then maybe we can help with layout ideas or copywriting. It’s a very competitive business so you need all your "ducks in a row" to make it successful.

There are 5 common mistakes coaches make which cripple their financial growth and freedom:
First, they believe that growing a business means doing more.
Second, they assume there is only one way of building businesses.
Third, they think they need to be an authority.
Fourth, they follow “gimmicky” trainers instead of embracing business fundamentals.
Fifth, they don’t have clarity on what they are building, why they are building it and who they are building it for.

Social Media Strategies
Most businesses these days recognize the importance of social media. Since the early days of FB a lot has changed in how your company can take advantage of these new forms of media. According to the latest statistics about 80% of small and medium businesses are using social media and 94% do so for marketing purposes. That’s a hugh jump over the past 5 to 10 years, so you know you have to be a media player. I have some personal favorites that I use all the time and I’ve dabbled in some others. Some fit and some don’t. It just depends on what services and products you are selling. The more popular ones are Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Instagram and Medium or Blogger. I’ve tried a few others but realized that they weren’t providing me much of a push or pull. |
Designing your social media platform is a lot like designing a web site, with the difference being you have to fit into the media’s guidelines. Since these global giants realize the potential from business revenue, they are constantly upgrading their programs, with the intent of offering more advertising and marketing features. Of course this means you need to stay on top of these changes and tailor your media pages accordingly. The so-called social media experts have to make sure their clients needs are being met with the upgraded features.
Honestly, I’m not one of the experts, but I’ve been using social media for 5 years now and through a lot of trial and error have figured out what works and what doesn’t. We would be happy to consult with you on your social media needs, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch. |
