idea and you just know it could work, well you're not alone.
Many Canadians like you have their own business dreams,
so turn your dream into reality.
It's time to get started. This video is about the four steps
you need to set up a formal legal business in Canada.
Here's a simple example. Let's say you have a dream to start your own business,
doing what you love, designing fun play rooms for kids and let's say you want to
keep it simple for now. No employees, no fancy office just you meeting with clients
such a kitchen table.
Sounds pretty simple, but what do you need to go from a dream was solid business
plan toward official business.
A good business plan is critical. A realistic look at your market, your customers
and your goals current and future. It should map out what success means for
your business. From there, details are the next steps are different in each province
or territory. So, you need to find out how it works where you want to operate
your business.
But a typical new business starts with these four steps. The most basic first step
for every new business in Canada, is to choose a legal ownership structure and
for example, you may have trouble choosing between sole proprietorship, really
being the business yourself and incorporation setting up a separate legal entity.
This decision is very important, so visit Canada business dot GC.ca for useful
information to help you decide.
Step two, is to decide on a name what are you gonna call your business. You could
choose to work under your own full name and if you're a sole proprietor, you may
be able to do that with no business license. But if you want to use a unique
business name, you need to apply for a business license.
Step 3's involves getting a business license, the document that allows your
business to operate in a specific province, territory or city.
Step four is registering your business, which is different from getting a business
license.

3. Managing stress
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnpQrMqDoqE
(transcript: http://www.allreadable.com/872bFeLR)
Watch this.
One little piece of paper can have a remarkable effect –
stress, is stressful.
But if you understand a bit about what it is, will be better able to deal with it. First
though, take a few deep breaths. In fact, do that anytime you feel stressed, it
helps.
Stress is a survival mechanism.
When danger appears, it can get you out of trouble quickly. Your body crashes up
the gears and throws all its resources into getting you moving. Your heart pumps
furiously to increase blood pressure. Glucose is sent to the muscles as fuel injection
and you become totally focused on what psychologists call fight or flight.
Thing is, this emergency state is only meant to last just long enough get you out
of danger. But, here, in the 21st century, we stress about different things and for
much much longer.
Your brain and body stay on red alert and you will be less to think clearly learn or
remember things.
Take a few more deep breaths, because as you now know, stress is a physical
reaction and deep breathing helps to counteract its affects.
So, what else can you do? Okay top tips to reduce stress. First, get plenty of
exercise let out all the locked up energy. Now back to the problem, get in control.
Scope out the situation and how you're going to tackle it.
Don't stress alone. Talk to someone. Socialize and have a laugh. You can't laugh
and quake with fear at the same time.
Get down with nature, on a big or small-scale and if your mind, won't stop
worrying.
Get something else to do, instead.
4. Take a walk in your mind.
https://youtu.be/GGDsZAlwWiw
Here’s a classic memory system that helps you to remember things by linking them
to different places.
Imagine you have a number of items to buy the shops.
Ok, now think of a journey you know very, very well like this one, and watch to
the nearby bowling alley. You gonna (going to) use the points along this route to
remember the list of objects.

5. 5
Here's what to do: First, think about the start of your walk say it's coming out of
the front door of your house. And the first item is sausages. So we want to imagine
some sausages and positioned at the front the door. But we want to really
remember them, so no toddlers make them, here you'll have to squeeze random
to get out.
Ok, so that's item one.
The second landmark keep pass in your imaginary walk is a post box and the
second item, is red. You want to associate the bread with the post-box again in
some crazy way that will stick in your mind.
Ok, the next landmark is a slide in the Swing Park and the next thing we want to
remember is eggs. So let's see the eggs, and drum up some action…..Now you got
the idea no problem imagining each of the items in their location.
The phone box suddenly has a pineapple crammed into it. The church get candles,
golden-sierra drips down the steps of the underpass, lovely, and finally at the
bowling alley it´s custard chaos.
Now when using a long journey in your mind you'll be able to remember every
single item, in order, or even backwards. When you have a new list to remember
you can use the same route again, your brain will magically forget where the old
object was and the new one will take its place.
So, it’s official: remembering things it’s a walk in the park. Hey…
5. Learning a new language.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0cUNFPN4YU
Hey, have you been noticing this change, a change that is
bringing this world closer and a pace never ever seen before?
Yes. I am talking of the change as a result of globalization.
Globalization, no wonder is triumphing in bringing people and
cultures together for the good of humanity. When
globalization is becoming a reality, this reality, demands from
all stakeholders to put more passion into believing the concept. When you are in
Rome, be a Roman.
Learning each other’s culture and languages has become the need of the hour for
us to empathize and appreciate each other’s way of living. Imagine you are an
employer of the Japanese organization working from outside Japan. How awesome
and impressive it would be of manage to converse with your Japanese peers in
Japanese. You would be under good books for sure.
Imagine getting a scholarship and admission calls from the best universities
because you are bilingual. Absolutely the dream come true, isn’t it?

6. 6
Imagine speaking in Spanish when you are on a South American tour. You would
certainly make your jaunt more comfortable and memorable.
Imagine reading and appreciating French arts, movies and poetry that are
considered to be the finest on the planet.
Imagine speaking, reading and writing in English. For sure, you will be a good
candidate to get your dream job in English speaking nations.
Imagine conversing in Mandarin with locals in China. Savoring the martial arts,
food and culture. What an amazing experience it would be.
With all these feelings of awesomeness, learning a new language and appreciating
different cultures bring to the table another set of benefits. Such as: enhanced
cognitive skills and perceptions, enhanced memory and ability to multitask,
improved decision making capabilities.
With all these gains, who wouldn’t wanna be smarter and successful! If you think,
you can make time to be more global in perception and thoughts, than learning
a foreign languages is apt for you.
6. Amsterdam, a city of bikes.
https://youtu.be/Oq3gIVGFTk4 (la parte que enumera los
monumentos no entra)
(This seems confusing)
The, the hits them bicycling is almost second nature…
the go everywhere bicycle…
Its very fast, it's healthy and there's no commotion at all and it's so quiet and so
much whatever public transport, you never need to wait.

freedom.

And you go and drop your luggage in a hotel, in long come over here and they
want to bike, next to Central Station. To bike is the best way to get around town.
You can rent them everywhere.
You can rent bikes for a few hours and all day are weak armond.
Everybody has bike helps them.
This really part of the culture and you really feel part of the culture once you're on
the bike.
Go to the market so the bicycle. Here than ever to. On some flowers.

7. 7
Another great day, by Scottsdale Frank Cass.
Next door to the home aboard - and - or is it over to the likes me…
Answer travellers take the bicycling seriously no matter what.
Both brains don't worry you know made of sugar, you don’t melt.
When you go out of offense restaurants or so you don't see the limousines.
Do you see the only bikes?
I find it always the best situation to reflect on life. It’s peaceful just with myself
and my bike.

8. Paris Climate Talks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRLOrjuegPU
This month, nearly every nation on Earth will gather in Paris to set
a course for climate action that will protect our planet for
generations to come.
Under President Obama's leadership, we've shown that real
progress is possible.
We've set historic greenhouse gas and fuel economy standards that will
send our cars twice as far on a gallon of gas by the middle of the next decade.
We've made unprecedented investments to cut energy waste in U.S. homes, and
our buildings and appliances -- actions that will save consumers billions of dollars.
We've acted to reduce pollution from H.F.C.s and methane and potent greenhouse
gases that are highly damaging to our climate system.
Our private sector has committed billions of dollars to scale up investments in
clean energy innovations.
And in August, we issued EPA's historic Clean Power Plan, putting the U.S. on track
to slash carbon pollution from the power sector -- our nation's biggest driver of
climate change.
We are leading by example.
In my lifetime, I've seen progress to heal our environment that makes me sure
we're up
to this challenge.

9. 9
50 years ago, we pumped toxic leaded-gas into our cars; people smoked on
airplanes; and Los Angeles residents couldn't barely see each other across the
street. As a kid in Massachusetts, we'd get out of the water at Boston Harbor
Beaches and had to peel oil and tar off our skin.
Over four and a half decades later, our work together has changed all of that.
We've cut air pollution by 70 percent; we've cleaned up beaches and waterways;
we've helped keep our kids health -- all the while our G.D.P. has tripled.
Innovation has brought solutions to our doorstep.
Today, the U.S. is generating 3 times as much wind power, and 20 times as much
solar power as we did just a short time ago when President Obama first took office.
Our solar industry is now creating jobs 10 times faster than the rest of the
economy; and every major U.S. automaker offers electric vehicles.
We have come so far. But we know we can't go the distance alone.
Nations around the world must come together in Paris and commit to leaving our
kids a healthy, safe planet that is full of promise.
America is seizing this opportunity. I have every confidence the rest of the world
will join us.

9. Nobel Prize Winning Economist.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt-I3Ff8xfw
Interviewee: One thing that I say in some of my books, is that I
recommend that people get a financial advisor, particularly one that
can, can be recommended as devoted to the interests of the clients.
There's a lot of little things that you can mess up, and a while financial advisors
are not always right and some of them are self-centred and they are not really
giving very good advice. There is something to be gained by talking: talking frankly
about your situation, what you want for the future and how are you investing your
money, because people do make mistakes.
Interviewer: Are there any tips you would give to people who are anxious about
saving specifically for retirement?
Interviewee: People are underestimating their savings needs now. The markets
looks pricey now, and interest rates are close to zero. That means that you have
to save more to achieve the same level up retirement.
The people like to talk about the power of compound interest. Well think about
this, if the interest rate is zero, how high is the power of compound interest?
It’s zero too. That means that, if in this environment if you are investing at a zero
interest rate, there is no magnification at your retirement saving, you just you can
take out what you put in and if you're not putting much in, you're not going to get
much at the other end.

10.How often should you shower?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K8O3VYbhNQ
[Voiceover] How often do you shower?
Once?
Twice a day?
Some of you may not even shower at all, but how often should you actually
shower?
According to dermatologists, Dr. Joshua Zeichner and Dr. Ranella Hirsch, a lot of
the reasons we do it is because of societal norms and that it's really more of a
cultural phenomenon.
Well, frequent showering may actually be doing you more harm than good.
Showering too often, especially with hot water, actually is bad for your skin.

11. 11
You wash away the good bacteria and dry out your skin, which puts small cracks
that put you in higher risk of infection.
If you have babies or toddlers, exposing them to dirt and bacteria may actually
help their skin become less sensitive, preventing allergies and conditions like
eczema.
So, back to the question.
How often should you shower?
In general, you can probably skip a day or two.
Taking one every two to three days, that doesn't seem so bad, right?
For those no shower days, just use a washcloth or a cleansing toilette on the
grosser parts of your body, under arms, under breasts, genitals, your butt, and
your face.
Think of all the water you'll save.
Mother Earth will be pleased.
Of course, your showering needs will depend on climate and how active you are,
but be reasonable.
If you're filthy, hit the showers.
11. If today were the last day of my life
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5SMyfbWYyE
In I'm for the past 33 years, I looked in the mirror every morning
and ask myself: if today were the last day in my life, what I wanna do what I'm
about to do today?
And whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row, I know I need
to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon, is the most important tool I've ever
encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything
all external expectations all pride of your embarrassment or failure these things
just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Remembering that you were going to die, is the best way I know to avoid the trap
of thinking you have something to lose.
You are already naked, there is no reason, not to follow your heart.
About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning
and it clearly showed a two-year on my pay increase. I didn't even know what a
pay increase was.
The doctors told me this was, almost certainly, a type of cancer that is incurable
and that I should expect to live no longer, injury to six months.
My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor code
for prepare to die.
It means to try and tell your kids everything. You thought you'd have the next 10
years to tell, just a few minutes.
The means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that will be as easy as
possible freemen. It means to say you're the bombs.

12. 12
12. Would a fast-food rate improve people’s health?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8SNDm0d-4Y
The underlying assumption is, fast food is bad for your health.
And the question was whether the pricing up fast food influenced
how much fast-food people consumed.
And the answer was yes, it does influence, but it influences as might have been
expected, but isn't obvious poor people more then known then, not poor people
meaning that as prices all fast-food go up, everybody it's a little bit less fast food,
but people with few economic resources, are influence much more by the prize,
than people who have more resource.
Fast-food is bad for your health. It increases obesity which is a major public health
issue and there are ways of influencing fast food consumption that we should be
using.
For example air as a country our government subsidizes corn syrup which goes
into fast food.
It does not subsidize the production of fruits and vegetables, so perhaps we should
put more resources into subsidizing healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables
and fewer into subsidizing corn and corn syrup.
We're working on additional resource search on what we're calling OP, so janik
environment, which have to do which has to do not just with the available only to:
fast food but also on the good things in the environment that could produce
obesity, searches places to exercise run, safe neighbourhood’s and so for so, if
there are more actually, there's more work for us coming from the same day to
the cardia data understaffed.

14. Weight Control - The Simple Truth About Weight Loss and Gain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VqhnOymMZ8
Keeping a healthy weight is crucial.
If you are underweight, overweight, or obese, you may have a higher
risk of certain health problems.
About two-thirds of adults in the US are overweight or obese.
Achieving a healthy weight can help you control your cholesterol, blood pressure
and blood sugar.
It might also help you prevent weight-related diseases, such as heart disease,
diabetes, arthritis and some cancers.
Eating too much or not being physically active enough, make you overweight. To
maintain your weight the calories you eat must equal the energy you burn. To lose
weight you must use more calories than you eat.
A weight control strategy might include choosing low-fat, low-calorie foods, eating
smaller portions, drinking water instead of sugary drinks, being physically active.
Likewise, eating extra calories within a well-balanced diet can help to add weight.

16. Hi, Doc, are your hands clean?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJOBXZ7gNTM
Hand hygiene is the most powerful way of preventing the
spread of bacteria and viruses in hospital.
And yet, compliance rates among North American health care workers can range
from as high as 87% to as low as 30%. So would you feel comfortable asking your
nurse or doctor to wash their hands?
Young: “Not really. We would hope they've already done that sanitizing job
properly before seeing us”.
Lady: “Yes, it's very important because you're being touched in places where
you're not usually touched!”
Woman: “It would probably feel that I'm undermining then in a way so I think it's
a difficult question to broach”.
To make this question easier, Sunnybrook has launched a new campaign called
Clean Hands Matter. Patients are given information at the bedside about what hand
hygiene measures to expect. And if they don't see it or aren't sure, patients are
encouraged to ask, a message reinforced on posters and by buttons wore by staff.
Dr. Mary Vearncombe says the initiative has been piloted on three units and been
very well received by both patients and staff.
"And indeed on all of the units, the hand hygiene compliance did go up several
percentage points. Our patients have become and are becoming much more
sophisticated about their health care”.
As a physician, Dr. Jeremy Gilbert says he would never be offended by being
asked about hand hygiene.
“I look at it as a relationship I have with patients, that I'm there for them.

And this is one way I'm there for them and if I didn't wash my hands I'm actually
doing them a disservice”.
Man: “I think it's a great idea. It lets you know they are taking care of themselves
and taking care of you. I wouldn't hesitate if I ever saw somebody not washing
their hands”.

All steam is wasted energy. To operate a dishwasher most efficiently, air dry the
dishes.
Use it when you have a full load. Don't use the rinse hold cycle and turn it on
when you go to bed.
How to save up to seventy five dollars a year? Easy, replace the five most used
bulbs in your home, with these.
Lighting accounts for twenty five percent of home energy use, so turn off the
lights when you leave the room and install dimmer switches to lower lighting in
rooms you're in.
Only use light when you need it.
Install motion detectors for lights outside the home. I'd never call myself a
gourmet chef but I do try to be an efficient cook.
I use a microwave wherever possible because it needs seventy to eighty percent
less energy than a conventional oven. Use cold water to do laundry because
ninety percent of the energy used by washing, is to heat the water. And take the
pressure off the grid by doing laundry at bedtime.
A blanket keeps us warm by trapping heat from our body and guess what it does
the same thing with a hot water tank.
