    IMPORTANT! 
    Would be nice to press a button and the "higher quality" matches went to the top (however that's determined..)- I won't get into my first hand experience w/ bumble/tinder, don't want to scare anyone lol

    Financial management service for busy professionals

    I like the idea, and there's a need- a lot of it comes down to execution- there's typically a market for anything that saves business owners time/hassle. In my experience, there's a huge variance in quality among these Virtual CPA type services- I would checkout the following-...

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    + 1 for Shoe Dog- read a couple months back- really demonstrates the importance of innovation (creating a better product) and sales from Day 1- he had a salesman before he had any business affording one. As with any good business bio, you can feel the amount of fear/anxiety in the early...

    Email Client

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Have to give props to an app that has been a life-saver for me- I'm anal/organized when it comes to emails, using my inbox as my to-do list- I use an app called Boomerang on Gmail that let's you schedule emails to come back at whatever time you choose (1 hr, 4 hrs, 1 week, 1 month, or under...

    Security for E-commerce store

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Fwiw, I think people underestimate just how much value there is in leveraging the security in these ecommerce platforms that weren't always available.. On my sites, they were all completely custom, and there's been some sleepless nights as random Russian hackers decide they want to run a SQL...

    Ottawa Entrepreneur Event

    MEETUPS 
    To my fellow Nation's capital friends (and potentially Mtl, TO), there's an upcoming event presented by Invest Ottawa on May 11 that looks interesting: AccelerateOTT – May 11, 2017 Good mix of investors, speakers, startups etc (some from SV)- I haven't confirmed yet as I may be out of town...

    Grant Cardone "Buying a House is for Suckers"

    EXECUTION 
    Agreed, and it's going to be ugly- 2 bedroom townhomes in Toronto going for 2MM +, high %s of owners buying in spec expecting principals to skyrocket (and leasing at a loss in the meantime..)- hottest markets implementing foreign buyers taxes in hopes of cooling it down. I know a few realtors...

    Help with passive income once rich and busy?

    INVESTING 
    Wonder how many services are going to be popping up to service the short term rental market/demand (Pillow is an example of a full service solution, they service a limited geography mainly in CA, charge ~15% and I believe that includes booking fees. Assume you may be able to push back a bit on...

    Help with passive income once rich and busy?

    INVESTING 
    Interesting, did they happen to quote you on how many pts they'll charge for the management? Wondering if they'll include the cleanings in the fee etc I've been looking at Guesty for Airbnb management- fees ~3-4 %, they manage cleaners (i.e. they book, you pay), and all the guest...

    Uber is self-destructing from within

    The math gets even worse when said driver picks you up in a Tesla or insert other 100k+ auto here, never understood that one

    Greetings from Tampa

    INTRO 
    My 2 cents on Vegas- I would HIGHLY suggest trialling a visit there for say 3 weeks to a month and see how you like it first. In Vegas, there's the Strip and then there's everything else- for the most part, locals don't go near the strip because prices are 200-300% higher.. Many who visit...

    Be Careful! An Amazon Story

    Lol np, if I had a nickel for all the Amazon decisions I've regretted! As someone that sells books, unfortunately the channel can't be ignored.. we sell on about 10 other marketplaces (Abe, alibis, Barnes, etc) and Amazon is 80-90% of the volume..

    Vigilante Soft Launch of New Kids Book "Vigilant Kids"

    MARKETPLACE 
    Incredible.. didn't do the BookCon so not sure how many actual transactions were getting done, just walking BookExpo was exhausting. Really well put together. Not sure if you're planning on talking w/ Ingram but I have a few contacts there so if you're having any troubles getting thru I'd be...

    Vigilante Soft Launch of New Kids Book "Vigilant Kids"

    MARKETPLACE 
    You'll love BookExpo- went the last couple years, it's a wet dream for booksellers (and New York in June isn't so bad either!)

    Be Careful! An Amazon Story

    I think it's a smart move- I'd take a headache with a buyer (and a lawyer) any day over AMZ, they're easier to fix. If I was selling an AMZ only business (or one w/ a heavy % of revenue dependent on AMZ), I'd make sure to have language in the contracts to indemnify in the event AMZ closes the...
