Business Buddha has been brewing for years, born from both passion and frustration. After leaving my last job in magazine publishing, I completed the Self-Employment Program of Canada through MNP. It was exactly what I needed to launch my first business, Freshlnk Communications, a design and marketing firm.
The program provided invaluable resources-many of which still exist today. For over 20 years, l’ve shared these tools with countless entrepreneurs, yet only a handful had ever heard of them. That needs to change!
Business Buddha is my mission to bridge that gap, delivering practical, timely insights to support business owners in every industry. We focus on empowering you to take control, achieve success, and maintain well-being.
Smarter Strategies – Master sales, marketing, and technology that can transform your bottom line.
Work-Life Balance – From stress management to maximizing health benefits, we help you stay resilient.
Business Travel Simplified – Discover top Canadian restaurants to bring your clients to, hidden workout gems, and local must-visit spots for both business and relaxation.
Lessons from Leaders – Gain wisdom from experienced entrepreneurs who have navigated challenges and avoid pitfalls they’ve already triumphed over!
We’re excited to launch a podcast later this year to showcase experts in our network and continue to engage with readers between issues.
Success isn’t just about numbers-it’s about aligning your business with your values, making informed decisions, and thriving without burning out.
I invite you to navigate the stormy business terrain together with purpose, bringing Canadians closer, while reconnecting with global businesses.
Special thanks those who got me started in magazines, went through the trenches with me, and who always show up when needed!
