When you have been doing something you love for so long, eventually it becomes second nature. You no longer have to think about every little detail as you do it. It’s just natural.It just happens.
Like the experienced carpenter who’s tools have become extensions of himself, to the skier who rips down the steepest of slopes with ease and nary a second thought.
Yes to truly achieve ultimate success in a particular skill or ability, it must transcend from being something you actively do, to being something of pure instinct.
Al Eagleton of Rossland, BC grew up as a builder, and as a prairie kid was infused with a longing for deep snow and big mountains. He turned carpentry into a career, and chased the snow for decades until making his home in Rossland,BC.
Naturally, he let his two passions grow until they merged into the launch of Instinct Skis.
Grow up in the prairies, chase the snow to BC, develop your woodworking skills into a career, ski as much as possible and ultimately launch your dream job running a ski company? You Can Do That Here!

Episode 142 - Melissa Welsh of Pixelcents
Numbers. They are both the language of business and its method for keeping score. Knowing that one could discern that they who have the best knowledge and understanding of the numbers, will most likely also score highest on the bottom line.
There is a particular subset of the entrepreneurial world that struggles more often than others with the numbers: The creative entrepreneur. The people who are so good at their craft that people want to give them money for it, and thus their creativity becomes a business.
They excel at their craft but not always at the numbers side of the business. Making that task even harder for the creative entrepreneur is the often subjective nature of placing value on their work.
Figuring out how to properly and effectively price your work as a creative entrepreneur is critical to your success.
So we know there is a clear market out there with a clear need. What it took was someone who lived through that need to come up with the solution.
Melissa Welsh of Nelson, BC has done just that.
Follow your passion as a photographer, only to realize you can't afford to live off of your passion, come up with a solution that increases the profitability of your own business and many others by selling them your system? You Can Do That Here!
Episode 141- Don Freschi, Fenix AM
What is the ultimate goal of pretty well all companies? Well of course it's to make money. Hopefully it's at least a little bit to do some good in the world, but most of all and most often the end game for any entrepreneur is to sell their company.
Yes, building your idea from scratch into something big and profitable that someone else wants to give you millions of dollars for some day is essentially the driving force behind most startups.
Selling your company is awesome right? Well... Yes and no... and not always.
The biggest downside to selling your company of course, whether you stay on as an employee or not, is that you're no longer in control of the company. It's no longer your ideas, thoughts, morals and principles guiding the ship.
Sometimes that's great, sometimes it sucks. Like seeing the company you built and then sold moved out of town, leaving all of the hard working employees, friends and the work family you built out of work.
Don Freschi faced exactly that scenario, and from the moment the company decided to pick up stakes his clock started counting down on a non-compete to get back in the game.
Sell your company, see it move out of town and layoff your entire workforce, wait out a non-compete and then launch back into the game to start rebuilding something bigger and better? You can do that here!
