Being a small business owner isn’t easy. There so much to consider and so much to keep track of. We’ve witnessed an influx of new and noteworthy apps that help small business owners stay organized and we’re happy to share our top four! Asana is our favourite project management tool! It is extremely user friendly and helps your team keep on track of all their tasks and projects. You can easily integrate other tools, such as G-Drive, into Asana for a seamless project manageme...nt experience! Clockify is our go-to for tracking time. There are a lot of time tracking apps out there, but Clockify is by far our favourite. The best part is the reporting feature which lets you customize data based on client, team member, tags, date, and so much more, making it super easy to manage your time! Sendible is our tried and true social scheduling app. With Sendible, we are able to draft and schedule social media posts weeks in advance, across multiple platforms, and on multiple accounts. Sendible takes all the guesswork out of social scheduling, which is a huge win if you ask us! Lastly, G-Suite is our ultimate organizational and online data tool! We love that we can integrate G-Suite with almost all our other apps. It’s a great way for our team to collaborate and share projects within our organization. From Google Forms to Google Spreadsheets, G-Suite has it all! Do you use any of these products?

So many of us struggle with change. With things changing, people changing, time changing it can be difficult With so many challenges in 2020, we know it’s been hard to keep up with the uncertain and unpredictable landscape We know that growth comes from change, and with that in mind, we want to embrace all the growth we’ve made this year. Some growth comes from a need to change, and some comes from a more organic, mindful place. Either way, give yourself a great big pat... on the back because you are definitely not the same person you were yesterday And that my friend, is a wonderful thing! #LewisCarrollQuote #GrowthMindset #DifferentPerson #Changes #MindfulChange #2020Pivot

Today our team remembers all those who have fought so valiantly for our country. Every year our communities gather in memorial parks, community halls, workplaces, schools, and homes to stand in honour of those who have fallen in the line of duty. This year may look a little different, but the intention remains the same. This morning, our team observed a moment of silence to mark the sacrifice so many Canadians have made in service of our country, and to acknowledge the coura...ge of those who still serve so bravely today. #RemembranceDay #RemembranceDay2020 #MomentOfSilence #VirtualRemembranceDay
