Tax Time Tips for Real Estate Investors

Well, we’re get­ting close to that time of year again where taxes need to be filed and paid. If you own any busi­ness or real estate, you don’t really get to keep any more money than if you earned a pay­cheque. Money doesn’t seem to work that way. There is one dif­fer­ence though between being an …

Don’t scrimp on quality

Fall is a busy time, as you may have noticed from my lack of post­ing lately. Life does have a ten­dency to get in the way of pro­cras­ti­nat­ing… As win­ter approaches at a sta­ble, you need to pre­pare and stock up…and for those of you who think the kids going back to school will give …

Why Lynden Dorval had to be fired.

Many peo­ple must have heard the name Lyn­den Dor­val by now. He’s an Edmon­ton teacher who was recently fired for giv­ing out zeros to stu­dents. The media has been all over this story for months in the west, and it’s got­ten national air time. Now, per­son­ally, I’m all for hand­ing out zeros to students…but that’s not the …

Two sides to Termination

My prop­erty man­ager was let go today. I’d like to say I didn’t see it com­ing, but I’m afraid that’s not the case. Iron­i­cally, I thought she’d be fired because she was putting in a lot of extra effort, and I could see this hap­pen­ing (though that’s not the offi­cial ver­sion of course). About a …

Analysis paralysis — you have to keep moving

Hockey is a fast mov­ing sport. It is a game where you have to make split-second deci­sions. It’s not a game where you can sit back and ana­lyze what’s going on around you. I’ve sat in many are­nas over the years, watch­ing my son’s teams play. One thing I’ve noticed is the defense, when the …

Losing the war, change the battlefield

Com­pe­ti­tion is a real­ity in busi­ness. Often times, it can be a war, as exem­pli­fied by the com­puter software/hardware com­pa­nies of the 80’s. Going head to head in all out com­pe­ti­tion usu­ally results in one com­pany being destroyed and the other emerg­ing more pow­er­ful than ever, able to eas­ily dom­i­nate the remain­ing com­pe­ti­tion. A good …

Why you can’t do everything in house

One prob­lem that I see with many com­pa­nies is that they try to do too much them­selves. For some rea­son, they seem affraid of out­sourc­ing jobs. Most of the times, these com­pa­nies stum­ble because they really don’t have the exper­tise to do the job prop­erly (see About image and out­sourc­ing exper­tise), how­ever there are other …

Striking out

From the title of this post, was your first thought that this arti­cle would be about fail­ure, or did you think it would be about adven­ture? My guess would be the for­mer. We live in a neg­a­tive soci­ety. Peo­ple tend to hate suc­cess it seems, unless they are the suc­cess­ful ones. Let’s tax the rich …

All I need to know I learned from the Easter Bunny!

Don’t put all your eggs in one bas­ket. Every­one needs a friend who is all ears. There’s no such thing as too much candy. All work and no play can make you a bas­ket case. A cute tail attracts a lot of atten­tion. Every­one is enti­tled to a bad hare day. Let happy thoughts mul­ti­ply like rab­bits. Some body …
