I’ve been moving into my new place so I have had little time to update the site in the past week. I’m currently at Starbucks( I know I know), and I thought I’d sneak in a post with some news and awesome blog posts from the past week. If you have anything to add feel free to leave it in the comments and I’ll add the links to the post. A lot has been going on lately so I think I’ll do more posts like this just to cover the other great blogs in Canada covering our finances and business news.

I’m going to be kicking off a series of posts of lists with important people in the industry, but best of all they’re local to you. Twitter is an interesting way to connect with leaders in the industry and a personal level which hopefully develops into a business opportunity. Being able to see the behaviors, attitudes and advice these experts are giving lets you get a good feel for the person you’re thinking about working with.
