Dave and I are happy that we can travel together for business and we always find time to add sightseeing time at the beginning and end of our trips. Dubai was quite the place to see, but quite hot. Whilst Dave attended and spoke at a conference I was kept busy with meeting some of my connections with whom I had only been able to interact with online. I also facilitated a couple of round table networking sessions, and this resulted in quite a few new contacts and referrals.

One of the natural obstacles that we face as financial advisors is the reluctance of prospective clients to embrace life insurance. In part, it is in their discomfort in discussing mortality or facing the limitations or finality of our lives. It may be because we are natural optimists, but it is remarkably common for entrepreneurs not to take out life insurance.

Patience is a Virtue
The purpose of this blog is to share my expertise, my challenges, my ups and my downs since starting my first business, Motivational Steps 16 years ago.
Patience has always been something I excel at, mostly because I have had no choice. One example would be when I was attending Sunnybrook Cancer Centre for my radiation the first time I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The shuttle bus would take us at 8am in the morning to the hospital if our treatment time was anywhere between 8.30 to 1pm so we had a lot of waiting around to do.

Don’t forget to clean your computer! We’re not talking about the hardware, you’ve already done that, right? You’ve heard about things like RAM and Memory, and you’re well acquainted with the word “Loading.” Spring cleaning the digital portion of your computer (and tablet, and smartphone) will help keep your system user-friendly for as long as possible.

The real estate market has gone insane. At the moment of writing this article, we may fortunately be see some softening but it’s a seller’s market and homes are attracting multiple offers and selling for huge premiums. This has left our younger clients to start asking whether it is an appropriate time to purchase their first home. While its certainly does vary by client, I thought it would be prudent to outline the issues that first time buyers can control and prepare for.

1. Let go of the pastDon’t dwell on what has gone wrong with your fitness routine in the past. The past is the past, and there is not any value in looking backwards when it comes to establishing a new plan for fitness motivation. Just let it go and be ready to move forward.

Many small businesses we hear from have a phobia bordering paranoia when it comes to using creating and using budgets. Budgets are an integral part of running any business efficiently and effectively. They serve as a plan of action for owners and managers as well as a point of comparison at the period's end. Many people get hung up on budgets so we thought we would introduce the concept of budgeting and how to use them.

The world is now a little over 100 days with Donald Trump at the helm of the United States government. Say what you will of “The Donald’s” tenure so far, but one thing is for sure, his race to the Whitehouse had us talking about a new dimension to politics: hacking.
