Don't Make The Mistake Of Thinking A Will Is Not A Priority
by: News Canada
(NC)-Did you know that many Canadians mistakenly believe that having a will is not a priority? Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, a will is probably the most important document you will ever write.
If you die without a will, the province in which you live will decide how to distribute your estate. And if you have children who are minors, the provincial government (through the Public Trustee) will decide who will raise and care for them.

The Hawk and the Mouse - Retirement Saving
by: Kemberly Wardlaw
There once was a hawk, ferocious and swift. He was young and agile with many years of life to hunt the open ranch lands. In a nearby field, a mouse scurried about the ground. The hawk saw the hurried motion and swept speedily toward the rodent.
Just as the hawk's shadow engulfed the smaller rodent, the mouse fell to its back and begged, "Please, Mr. Hawk, spare me my life!" This surprised the hunter and he landed beside the mouse.
"Why should I spare your life? I am hungry today."
"It's always about today, isn't it?" answered the mouse. "Do you ever think about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? Well, that's just another day to flap (read full article) |

Business is Business The World Over
by: Colin Watkins BSc
If you are already in business it is hardly likely that you will agree with my title. Aren't all businsesses different?
When you think in broader terms, yes, of course you're right. I want you, however, to look , for the moment, only at the basics.
All businesses are about turnover, profit margins and overheads. Basically that is all there is to it. All three must come together in perfect harmony for a business to succeed.

Four Employee Behaviors That Can Kill Your Business
by: Jan B. King
I found it important to clarify for employees what “deal-breaker” behavior was at my company.
