Five timely tax tips for startups!

Touring around inside the unreleased Mercedes-Benz F 015. I've never seen anything like it. Then when the designer spins around to talk and the car continues to drive itself, that takes getting used to.

"It is well to remember that there are five reasons for drinking: the arrival of a friend, one's present or future thirst, the excellence of the cognac, or any other reason." -W. C. Fields Third trip to the CN Tower, and I can finally see more than a wall of clouds. The private wine cellar tour was appreciated, and the Louis XIII was simply outstanding. A great end to a wonderful day. #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Toronto #louisxiii #remymartin #thankful #cntower #wine #view #luxury (at CN Tower)

"And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's? She said I think I remember the film And as I recall I think, we both kind o' liked it And I said well that's, the one thing we've got" - Deep Blue Something So now the question is, how many carats can one eat for breakfast? And who's joint me? Thanks @tiffanyandco. #breakfast #breakfastattiffanys #tiffany #tiffanys #carat

"Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected." -Steve Jobs After the recent trip out east, I was reminded of the Emerging Leaders conference from last year in Montréal. Wow, the event in 2016 seems so far away. 381 days, countless meetings, even more phone calls, 15 pounds, 23,000 kilometers driven, and a beard. Looking through the pictures revealed a few things, mainly; the oceans of wine and abundance of talent, training, and fulfillment of spirit (both meanings) that went on over the event. I am still thankful and humbled to have been selected to be part of it. Sitting at dinner, and tables that with senior executives, directors and peers from companies over 100 years old to ones just starting who were identified as emerging leaders, in Montréal, was an experience I'll never forget. Thank you. #tbt #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #montreal #leader #leadership #emergingleaders #thankful #food #amazing #wine #moet #champagne (at Ristorante Buonanotte)

Sometime between 4:30 and 5:15pm driving between Calgary and Banff. Great Scott! #ItsReal #BackToFutureDay #bttf2015

"In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields." -John McCrae Lest we forget... We remember (at Prince's Island Park)
