With a local market in the small village nearby, barely further away than the distance covered by the estates’ long meandering driveway, trips for fresh bread, meat and produce and the like would be a pleasure and, from her perspective, seemingly the stuff of dreams. The chateau itself, with its beige stone façade and twin […]

This profile of another First Worlder who has “made more monie” is of a successful CFA and businesswoman extraordinaire. According to an August 2021 Toronto Life article by Cheryl Bozynki (as told to Katie Underwood), Cheryl is another who parlayed great education choices along with working hard and smart. This synergistic combination was key in

After the movie Glengarry Glen Ross came out, the catchphrase “coffee’s for closers” became hugely popular, especially with those in the business world, and none more so than with those in sales. The meaning of it seems to vary, depending upon whom is asked, but I think it is meant and taken in its most

If you’ve been with me this year, following me on Make More Monie, I hope that some of what I’ve been writing has helped. Something I want to share in this post is how I came to deal with the age-old question everyone asks of each other, “How are you doing?” and the equally-aged response,

Many people preach the gospel of not being afraid to fail. They casually say to a fledgling entrepreneur who may be about to risk it all that they need to “go big or go home” or, “no retreat, no surrender”. This is all well and good for others to say, but Make More Monie espouses

I cannot think of better lessons on how to “make more monie” than those demonstrated in two of Aesop’s fables; The Ant and the Grasshopper and The Tortoise and the Hare.

Many of us know what active and passive income are, but for those that don’t, the former includes money earned from your job or career via an hourly wage or an annual salary. The latter is income earned from investments or other business ventures, via interest, dividends or profits, or, from selling ’em at a

Regarding my previous post’s comment about my parents and sister, I’m not stating that family members have to look out for each other’s interests. I’ll keep my full opinion on that close to the vest, as it seems in today’s First World, what I think should be second nature is just a relic of yesteryear,

For only the second time in my life, I filed my income tax paperwork myself. For years, I’d been using my guy, Dave, who’d never increased the $100 plus HST fee he charged me over all of the time he’s been doin’ ‘em. We used to use this time to catch up with each other,

Combustion is the basic chemical process of releasing energy from a fuel and air mixture. In an internal combustion engine, the ignition and combustion of the fuel occurs within the engine itself. This process has been harnessed and used quite successfully by humankind to “make more monie”. Just as we have gotten ahead by exploiting
