Today I have Dragon's Den winner Lee Renshaw on the show, and we're going to talk all about tips and strategies that you can implement if you want to start your own business on-the-side here in Canada.

One of the things I noticed based on the emails I received from listeners of the show, is that a lot of Build Wealth Canada listeners would actually like to start their own business on-the-side here in Canada but aren't exactly sure how to do it and how to set it all up since a lot of the information out there is specifically for the US, and there isn't a good step-by-step guide out there specifically for Canadians.

Because of this, I decided to built a free step-by-step video guide for you about everything you need to know about setting up your own side business here in Canada. You can check out the full video guide over at BuildWealthCanada.ca/business.

In addition to that, it's a good idea to have your own website for your new business on-the-side, so I've created a 2nd free video guide showing you step-by-step on how you can easily build your own website whether you're looking to start a blog, provide a service, or sell a product.

What's also neat is that in the guide, I'm actually building a real-life website for a real business, and I recorded step-by-step how I do it so that you can follow along, and build your own website.

I'm sure you'll love it, it's totally free, and the link to that guide is BuildWealthCanada.ca/site
