Jade's Big Tip: Being in the early stages of my business operation, I feel a very important part of what has led me to where I am is having an idea. I feel you are given these ideas for a reason, to pursue them. A year ago, my ideas were just ideas, secrets, things I was afraid to share with people, let alone pursue. I feel it’s extremely important to listen to these ideas, dig into them, share them, ask questions, do research and most importantly, take action and take the r...isks now, not later, right now. Don’t let fear hold you back. If it weren’t for the courage to push past the fear and put my ideas into action, there would be absolutely no way that I would be owning and operating my own businesses today.

Brenon Durston - Prairie Cycleworks A tool I use that has been huge in running my business has been Square Payments. It, combined with the contactless card reader gives me a lot of flexibility in where and how I take payment for services. It is simple to use and integrates well into my bookkeeping workflow.

Coordinator: Could you make a Fb post for me? Something along the lines that we can accept PayPal, cheque or cash and now e-transfer’s. Someone sent an e-transfer and it worked. Fb guy: Sure thing! Sometimes you just have to test something out to see if it works. You might surprise yourself on the results.
