Wanted to take my solopreneur book reviewing to a new level this week, so I tried something a bit different. As many of you know, I like reading, and I try to share summaries and lessons I learn when I finish a good book. And especially if you’re trying to start or grow a solopreneur …
What a week! Last Monday around 6pm our internet went out. There was a bit of a snow storm here so that was probably the cause, but I was susprised such a “minor” storm would cause an outtage considering that weather is pretty normal up here in Canada. Anyway, what I wanted to write about …
Did some cold calling this week. I’ve talked about it a little in the past, but getting into it more and more now that we’re full speed ahead doing marketing and sales for Visto. Have you done much cold calling? It can be a little daunting and intimidating, especially at first. But like anything, gets …

Had an interesting call with one of the Canadian embassies in Africa a few days ago. This is something we only recently discovered, but Canada has trade commissioners all around the world.

Had a few good solopreneur partnership discussions recently, including one in-person coffee chat. And it got me thinking – what is the tradeoff for doing in-person meetings? Now a few years ago (read: pre-Covid), we may not even be asking that question, because it was so “normal” to do lots of meetings in-person. During and …
Had a very tough night last week. Nothing to do with business, but a bittersweet night it was. As some of you know, ever since Covid started, I’ve fostered a few cats. I barely even knew what fostering meant until a few years ago, but basically it’s when you help take care of an animal …
Wanted to give you an update on how my solopreneur networking event went last Thursday night. Especially since I switched up the format a bit, so I was curious to see if the attendees liked the two new elements that I added in. Most of my networking events are focused on one thing: bringing people …
Went for a walk during lunch yesterday to grab some things and get some fresh air. When you work from home and live in Canada (the cold parts), going outside isn’t the most fun thing to do in the winter. And quite frankly, since so much of what we do now can be done online, …
