		<description><![CDATA[In 2009 I fired my web designer and built my own website and a year later, I started blogging. Website Management is quite different from the usual Bookkeeping and Back Office Administration I’ve been doing for years but very enjoyable. &#8230; <a href="http://www.thinksos.ca/blog/successful-websites-need-a-plan/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It isn't long after you start your business before you hear people begin to tell you, it's a good idea to get a blog started. Unfortunately, sometimes people don't tell you why or are only able to give you a sketchy idea why. How is blogging helpful to your business, particularly if the business is offline or when you are a service provider, like a belly dancer who performs at private functions for example? <a href="http://www.thinksos.ca/blog/is-blogging-good-for-business/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the New Year here, many of us have been busy planning and goal setting for 2011 and beyond. For some, this could feel like déjà vu. You might hear yourself saying; I’ve done this before; made these plans, set these goals but I’m still here – in the same place, with the same luck. So how do you turn it around? How do you change your luck? A great place to start is to examine your daily habits or life choices. <a href="http://www.thinksos.ca/blog/creating-healthy-work-habits/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s understandable. After all, blogging is still relatively new to the majority of bloggers and many businesses are still trying to make sense of the whole blogging scene. Also things evolve as blogging starts to mature, so a good strategy yesterday may turn into a mistake today. These are some of the most common mistakes bloggers make. <a href="http://www.thinksos.ca/blog/5-mistakes-business-bloggers-make/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been very hectic here to say the least. There have been the usual tasks of blog writing, social media monitoring, invoicing, and so on along with the regular client workload and two special projects including Holiday Season preparations for clients and Tax Season preparation for accountants. The real craziness however, started when my neighbour knocked on my door desperate for help after her babysitter left the country suddenly due to a death in the family. <a href="http://www.thinksos.ca/blog/holiday-gift-ideas-planning-tools/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Far too often, people create a blog for their business only to abandon it because it wasn't what they had envisioned it to be. One of the most common complaints is, a low return on investment, the blog taking up a lot more time than they had to give. If you have not created the blog and are wondering if it is a wise move, take a look at these issues, understand them so that you enter this venture with your eyes wide open. <a href="http://www.thinksos.ca/blog/building-a-business-blog-understand-these-key-issues-first/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
