Tell us about yourself
I am an entrepreneur who has been in business since childhood, starting with shoveling snow and mowing lawns and eventually, after a few other business adventures, running my own plumbing company in Calgary. After a few decades of that, I got into the internet business when it was still new, and I have been involved in digital marketing since then. Today, I have two eCommerce sites, Affiliactive.com and USA.Affiliactive.com, as well as the main site, internetworld.ca. I am also a blockchain enthusiast and the owner of Blockadvise.io Corp.
My main motivation for doing what I do each day is the desire to bring the best solutions to my customers and fulfill their needs. I am always looking for new ways to innovate and make a positive impact on the digital marketing industry. I strive to make sure my customers are satisfied with my services and that they get the most out of their digital presence. I am passionate about helping my customers reach their business goals and strive to provide them with the best solutions available.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner has been achieving the freedom that comes with being self-employed. By building a successful and thriving business, I have been able to create a lifestyle that allows me to follow my own goals and pursue my passions.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner is dealing with long hours, red tape and the cost of government regulation compliance, and periods of economic downturns. As a business owner, you have to be willing to put in long hours to ensure your business is running smoothly and able to survive and thrive in any economic environment. You also have to be prepared to face red tape and government regulations compliance costs, which can be both time-consuming and expensive. Finally, you have to be aware of the risk of economic downturns, which can be difficult to prepare for and manage. All of these challenges can be difficult to manage but are necessary for a successful business.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Build a business plan with the help of someone who understands planning and marketing. Make sure to factor in any startup costs.
- Organize your paperwork from the start and automate as much of your transactions as possible into an excel sheet or accounting program. Utilize the bank’s offers of automated account expense tracking.
- Take time for yourself, your spouse, and your children. Structure your day with some “you time” to help you stay focused and avoid burnout.
These tips will help you get started on the right foot and ensure that you have the best chance of success with your business.
