Starting Your Own Business

I've been a successful entrepreneur for over thirty years. After mentoring many wannabe entrepreneurs I developed and produced a video series to help entrepreneurs understand the fundamentals needed to start any type of business. The series titled Real World Entreprenuer Training has been licensed by McGraw-Hill Ryerson for use in Canadian Colleges & Universities. I'm also the author of Building Your Dream, a textbook that I was asked to rewrite by McGraw-Hill Ryerson, for use in Colleges & Universities across Canada.

Real World Entrepreneur Training is currently available on idea2delivery.ca.

Prior to being successful I had a failed business with a huge financial burden. Said I would never start another business but after 18 months started a new venture and haven't looked back since.

Starting a small business isn't hard, but can be overwhelming. You wear so many hats and have to multi-task. Having owned several business I know the ins and outs of what needs to be done to ease the startup process. Small business is my passion and where I excel. Let me help you with your startup.

Resources for Startups

Everyone knows someone that can help you with your business, whether it be a family member or a friend of a friend. Some will be free and others won't be dependable. It is important to do it right from the beginning. Choose and spend wisely when you are starting your business. I've compiled a list of dependable affordable resources that won't let you down.

We will discuss what you need and I will provide you with resources and contacts to make your life much easier which will help you get up and running faster than you thought possible.

Seniorpreneurship

Seniorpreneruship is the fastest growing segment of entrepreneurship.

You have the experience, knowledge and contacts that can be transferred into a business. Now all you need is some help to get you there.

Customer Service

One of my early ventures started after I was laid off. I fortunately had a very solid client base and one in particular awarded me a $30K project the day after I was laid off. Within 3 years I had sales of over $3.5M.

Having a client base doesn't mean you will have a successful business. It's how you work with and build relationships with your customers that matter. I'd love to help you accomplish the same kind of results that I have obtained.

Cold Calling

Most people shiver when you mention Cold Calling but it has been my most successful way of doing business. You sell yourself everyday so why not call someone and make you and your product known. It's really not very hard and the results will astound you.
