I hope it will come as no surprise when I say that we don’t always live up to the standards we put forth in our book. We’re human, after all, and although we believe passionately in creating and celebrating new models for success, not every day at Raised Eyebrow is a banner Boss of You day. So...

I first came across Tressa Brotsky’s gorgeous organic soft toys and goods for wee ones at the Moss Street Market in Victoria BC this summer. My mom wanted to pick up a gift for her acupuncturist, who was expecting and I was happy to tag along to one of my favourite community markets. ...

So as I sit here on my three month count down to my own mat leave (which will be wholly subsidized by my company), our federal government is about to finally pass some legislation that would bring mat leave benefits to the self employed. Bad timing or me...

Hi Emira, I read in the G & M that the self-employed person only needs to pay the employee part of the premiums, but still it would be a tough call to determine if it is worthwhile to join the program.

Good to know Florine. Thanks for that info. Still don't know that it does it for me either, but I'm happy to understand the details better.

If, like us, you have admired DailyCandy for its smart, savvy style finds (not to mention stunning, uber-consistent, and classic design), you might enjoy this video I spotted over at the Harvard Business blog: biz blogger & venture capitalist Tony Tjan interviews DailyCandy founder and editorial...

Today we’re pulling the wrapping paper off something very, very exciting. We are beyond thrilled to unveil a project we’ve been scheming about for a few months, which is to bring a chapter of the Grassroots Business Association to our hometown of Vancouver. As...

I've been 'retired' for 2 years and I've never been so busy in all my life! I freelance, volunteer, just got married and am building a new home. I agree that 'balance' is a myth. I've found that when I am doing what I love, there is never a thought of needing balance. It is when I am marching to orders not of my choosing, or not in alignment with ... Read Moremy heart, that I feel the need for balance. I'd say that thoughts of 'needing balance' are actually a Big Red Flag. Just my 2 cents. Your mileage may differ...
