#fridayintroductions - Figure I'd do one more of these before the end of the year. So here we go!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hi Instagram Fam! I'm Karen Swyszcz (Swy-zick), the founder and blogger behind Makinthebacon. Sorry, I don't have an interesting story as to why I decided to go with that name. Hope you'll find these random facts about me to be more interesting:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. I have a large red birthmark on my right arm. People often think it's some sort of rash or burn scar.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. I took ballet for one year as a kid and would often fake sick because I hated the class and my teacher. I enjoyed my jazz class more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Despite having taking dance lessons for several years, I do not teach dance classes at the gym and have no desire to take participate in dance classes. I prefer either weight-training or the high-intensity cardio - which is why I really enjoy teaching BodyPump and BodyAttack.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. I have a business and technology podcast @baconbitsnbytes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. I'm frugal (that person who price matches and use their points - yeah, that's me), but at the same time, I will make the investment in things that I believe that will be valuable for my personal development/business development or potentially provide a return (i.e. stocks).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did anything surpise you? Or you knew all those things about me already. Lol.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo: @gooseberrystudios⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hair and makeup: @so.chiq⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Styling: @stylebyshannonk⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #canadianentrepreneur #canadianfilipina #oakvilleentrepreneurs #multipotentialite #introvertentrepreneur #womenwhopodcast #womenwhoinvest #groupfitnessinstructor #digitalwomen

#mondaymotivations - Yesterday I attended The Accidental Entrepreneur Workshop hosted by @dharnacpa and @henrybusinesslaw. . . . Accounting and legal stuff. These are two very important business topics that small business owners and startups should learn more about, at least at the higher level. . . . It was a day that jam packed full of valuable info. I really liked the fact that it was a small group and felt comfortable asking questions. Both ladies were great in presenting the info in a way that was clear and easy to understand. They also provided checklists which will definitely come in handy! . . . Some key things I learned: -Sub categorizing your expenses i.e. by product or revenue stream to see where the money is coming from -Pros and cons or charging HST -Pros and cons of Incorporating a business - How to properly build a team. I will definitely be reviewing the material more in detail and going through the checklists next month so I'm off to a good start in 2020.
