Life in the Fastlane
I didn't do well. I know that, but I realize that this continues. The learning continues. The growth goes on, and I'm not ashamed - not even close. I probably made a total of $500, and that was from freelancing. Not exactly Fast Lane material. The book I'm writing, my real Fast Lane project, is still underway. This is a process. Here are the main things I've learned through this process: 1. Build a Team Having people to bounce ideas off of, to ...
In my last update I wrote about my decision to move from Ontario to British Columbia. I had gotten a job as a coordinator for a construction project. After almost 2 months here I’m starting to burn out. The days are very tiring – 12 hours counting indentured time. And my days off are few and far between.

With summer quickly approaching I'm putting focus back on Weather Oasis. I placed my first MOQ order and expect it to ship mid May. I should have it mid June. I got my own custom labels for the cooling towels complete with a unique UPC, so I should be able to go straight onto Amazon as well as eBay.
