Having one thing go completely awry and having to focus on what you’re working on is a super power. Sometimes I’m good at it. Sometimes I’m not.

I’ve failed more times than I can count. Formed LLCs just to shut them down in the same year. Failed more times than most even started. I had the luxury of learning inside my dad’s companies. Failing again and again. Eating shit. Losing money. But I keep showing up. Watering

Large account receivables can be scary, but they don’t have to be. With trade insurance you get coverage on AR and x-ray vision into a client’s credit history. If a client goes belly up or refuses to pay you can file a claim with the insurer. If you use it a lot your cost will

NGL, i've been fleeced by a lot of Canadians? Eh, wtf?
