<p>Making the transition  from good to great   doesn&#8217;t require a high-profile CEO, the latest  technology, innovative   change management, or even a fine-tuned  business strategy. At the heart   of those rare and truly great  companies was a corporate culture that   rigorously found and promoted  disciplined people to think and act in a   disciplined manner.</p>

<p>We came                 across an article on the <a title="Young and Thrifty - Financial Blog" href="http://www.youngandthrifty.ca/" target="_blank">Young and Thrifty</a> blog in which the author details how she went about getting signed up  for the student package and saving a whopping $750 a year on her  services with Shaw! One of our staff followed the steps in the article  and is also now saving big on her services with Shaw!</p>
<p>Independent  full-time students enrolled in a post-secondary program quality for the  discount. Valid student idea and proof of enrolment must be provided in  order to activate the reduced rates. With savings that significant, it&#8217;s  definitely worth a phone call and a trip to the nearest Shaw office!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you tried it and then gradually fall out of habit? Well, you are not alone!</p>
<p>Journaling does require you to create a new habit, but it&#8217;s a habit is strongly linked to success.</p>
<p>A look at  successful leaders throughout time reveals they all journal in   some  way.  Journaling help them gain the clarity of their vision,   learn  from successes and mistakes, and capture ideas when the iron   strikes.   Proponents of journaling state that putting pen to paper to   write  your vision and goals, sets a stronger intention and makes them   seem  more real than if you were to type that information into a   computer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="../../newsletter/images/tax_businessman.png" alt="" width="182" height="220" align="right" />While  setting up a corporation may seem like a good idea if you&#8217;re  self-employed, it can have serious tax consequences in certain  instances. If Canada Revenue Agency determines that you are,  effectively, an &#8220;incorporated employee&#8221;, it may disallow a number of  business expenses as well as the small business deduction which normally  applies to the first $500,000 of active business income that a  corporation generates. This can result in the corporation&#8217;s income being  taxed at the highest corporate rate.</p>
<p>Some of the  criteria that distinguish a corporation set up by a truly independent  contractor versus a personal service corporation (PSC) include whether   the corporation has only a single client or very few clients, whether  the client provides work space or equipment and how much control the  client has over when and where the contractor provides his or her  services. Canada Revenue Agency&#8217;s interpretation of the Income Tax Act  with regards to &#8220;incorporated employees&#8221; is that, without the existence  of the corporation, the person performing the services on behalf of the  client company would reasonably be regarded as an officer or employee of  that company.</p>
<p>Those who are  required to work on-site for their client, on a schedule determined by  the client and who are provided with work space and  equipment would  most definitely be considered to be operating a personal service  business by CRA.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pareto and NOW  Developments are at it again!  Our  next project is located at 1915  Stainsbury Avenue near Commercial Street.   This particular block won  the Georgia Straight&#8217;s &#8216;Best of Vancouver  Awards&#8217; for being Vancouver&#8217;s  block most worthy of revitalization.</p>
<p>Individual partners  can participate in the site&#8217;s redevelopment as we move into a  residential townhouse and  condo community with projected returns in the  18-23% range per annum.</p>
<p>The Pareto Group of Companies targets  high-value real  estate opportunities that are too large for many  individual investors, yet too  small in scale to draw interest from  institutional players.  It is within  this overlooked segment where we  can deploy our legal, finance and development  expertise to unlock the  enormous hidden potential of these assets.</p>
<p>NOW stands for New Original Works and  is a development concept built  around a series of small, smart,  carefully designed additions to neighborhoods  and communities  throughout Vancouver.</p>
