Canadians are a funny lot.
They use strange words and spell with a U. They kiss cod. They enjoy being frozen solid nearly 8 months a year, and they call their money Loonies and Toonies.
Don’t get me wrong; they’re nice people just the same. They’re nature lovers and humanitarians and they like things simple and friendly.
And contrary to popular belief, they’re actually pretty smart.
Being flexible in today’s business climate is imperative. Your target market’s needs change all the time, every day. What was hot for them yesterday might not be so important today, and what was only of mild interest last week might be tomorrow’s blazing success.
You can influence those needs. You can give a boost to a service or product people have seemingly lost interest in, and you can create that success seller. All you need to do is revisit your message.
A beautiful woman sits alone at a bar. She’s had a long day. Clients were difficult, work piled up, and she scrambled frantically to get it all done. Now she’s tired and trying to unwind.
On either side of the woman sits a man. One is wearing a fancy suit, a gold watch, and has a briefcase next to him. The other man wears a baseball cap, a t-shirt, jeans and sneakers.

You may have heard of The Tao of Pooh. But what about The Blog of Pooh?
Given that the happiness and feelings of his friends are Pooh’s chief concern (other than hunny, that is), he’d likely build a strong community as a blogger. Here are six social media lessons we can all learn from the lovable bear who’s stuffed with fluff.
Remember the old saying about what happens when we assume? We make an ass out of u and me.
But let’s face it… when you make assumptions about your prospects, it’s only you who looks like an ass. The prospect just goes looking elsewhere.
We all have different motivators in life. Some people want a quiet, comfortable existence so they can feel good about every day. Some want to seize the spark of creativity and reach their ambitions. Others simply seek financial security so they can pay the bills at the end of the month.
All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. ~William Shakespeare
You know what method acting is, right? That’s when an actor attempts to become the character by living the psychological life of the subject as precisely as possible before and during the role.
With method blogging, you can become the type of person you want to… before you have the confidence to be that person in real life.
