Several months have passed since I last posted a blog. The problem I faced must face all individuals who start a blog. After several postings I was swamped with so called ‘comments’. So many that the website was closed down while the techies put up a firewall thereby preventing access by anybody and everybody. Those who really care can contact me through the email address on the website or call me with questions or comments.

In the early part of the year I wrote a blog suggesting to everyone the as part of their new year (2013) resolutions, they look at all their expenses and determine where they can save money. A suggestion was made to call all your service/product suppliers and ask them how you can save money on their services or products without reducing or diminishing the service/product. It sounded great to me at the time and so I decided to take my own advice and call Bell and Rogers and ask for a ‘discount’. Both were eager to ‘keep our business’ and promptly offered savings. The savings achieved were in the 22%-25% range. Unfortunately for us we have very few suppliers since our business is based on labour, but the theory could very well apply to your business. Let me know the savings you have achieved!
