The Accidental Franchise
Ontario introduced franchise legislation in 2000. PEI introduced a similar law in 2006. However, many business continue to operate without regard to whether they are a franchise or not. This article considers the factors that businesses need to analyse in order to determine if they are a franchise. Hiding your head in the sand is not an option. Failure to comply with franchise legislation can lead to unbelievably severe consequences, including liability in a class action proceeding, personal liability of officers and directors, and a requirement to pay back every penny invested by franchisees in acquiring and operating their franchise.

3 Surprising Mathematical Principles That Every Persuasive Marketer Must Know
Having a perception is different from understanding a perception. Imagine you are standing in front of a box of sand. If you start pouring water into that sand, it will form a particular pattern and start flowing along those particular lines. Even if you pour in more water, it will essentially continue to flow along only in that pattern. In the same way, the brain is a self-organizing system. When information goes in, it flows only in a particular pattern. When you face the kind of problem that you cannot even begin to explain how to explain it, it means that it is not a problem of logic. It is a problem of perception. You have to go back and look into your perceptions, not logic, because, as Gödel’s theorem has shown us, logic has flaws.

On questioning Sophie about her income and expenditure, she told me 'my accountant handles that'. She had no idea what was happening with her finances, only that there seemed to be enough money when she needed it. This was not an empowering answer! Sophie's head was in the clouds or should I say buried in the sand. You cannot allow someone else to 'look after your financial affairs'. No one else is going to look after your money better than you do.

Make it a good news story
As a Small Business owner operator, business is often personal. So what happens when our business or we as the business owner ‘stuff up’?
