Well, it is finally here.  I’ve been talking about venturing into the blogging world for quite some time, but the prevailing thought was always, “What could I, or my staff, possibly say that others would want to read, week after week?” Over the last several months, as I’ve been attending various functions and meeting other business owners, I realized that so many of us experience the same challenges. Regardless of the industry in which we are in, the size of our business, or whether we sell a product or a service, there are always some fundamentally recurring issues that everyone is dealing with. I have also had great difficulty in finding answers related to Canada to some of my own questions over the years on this world wide web.  And so we have started this forum, The Business Solutions Blog, to create a destination for business owners to meet online, get practical advice, share answers and discuss with other business owners issues that they are facing.

Although I’m sure that I could come up with something witty and interesting to say 3 or 4 times every week, I imagine that soon everyone would get tired of listening to me ☺, so we are also inviting all other business owners to contribute to this forum. If you are an individual who provides services to business owners, or has products which can ease the burden on the business owner, we would love for you to share with our followers as well.  Our own areas of expertise are Accounting, Bookkeeping, Accounting Software conversions and Part Time Controllership.  However, there are so many other challenges that need to be addressed for which we are not the experts – Human Resources, Legal, Business Coaching, Succession Planning….the list is endless.

But there are other business enterprises which do have that expertise, and who have information to share. Perhaps you have also thought about creating your own blog, but arrive at the same conclusion –  “What could I possibly say, week after week, on a blog that would always be relevant and meaningful.  I don’t want to post to everyone what I’ve had for lunch, just so that I am putting a post on my blog. Where will I find the time to post on my blog on a regular basis?” The Business Solutions Blog is also meant to help those business owners.  By contributing to this forum, we hope to fill the need for business owners  who want a blog for their website, but don’t have the time or the manpower to create their own.  Guest authors would have a link provided back to their website, and their contact information, so as to help everyone. Please contact us if you would like to contribute to The Business Solutions Blog.

Our mission is to have this forum become a valuable resource for small and medium sized business owners.  Whether to vent on their current challenges, or to seek advice from other like-minded individuals. We hope that you will find this blog useful in taking your business to the next level and achieve your goals whatever they may be.

Let the journey begin…..
