2 Percent Creativity

As many of you may know, for the past 6 years I have been involved in a web-based software and services company called Most Home. Our venture began in 2001 with the development of the Most Referred Real Estate Agent brand, websites and lead management system. In the past three years, we took what we learned building Most Referred and applied it to the development of ClientBuilder for Real Estate Brokers. This 6 year experience has been a tremendous opportunity to learn the ins and outs of a very dynamic industry and to apply our marketing and leadership skills to the business venture. I am very proud of what we accomplished and the people I have had the pleasure of working with during this time.

Well, as you can probably conclude from the subject of this post, it is time for me to move on from Most Home. I am very excited about what lies ahead and the new opportunities that are in store for us. A good friend and colleague of mine, Curtis Cottrell (Most Home’s former Director of Creative Services) and I, have formed a new consulting business focused on helping businesses with their marketing, advertising and web development needs. In addition to consulting services, we have also begun the development of a new web-based application that we hope to launch later this year.

Stay tuned to 2 Percent Creativity as I will provide updated information about our new venture (new name, website etc.) as it comes available.

The next stop on our trip is the last of the highlights, and what a highlight it was. Imagine our surprise. We were heading to the Alberta town of Drumheller to visit the world famous dinosaur museum. We had also heard about a small town just southwest of Drumheller, that would be a great place to stay for the night. We were fortunate to get the last room in the Rosebud Country Inn when we had called just two days earlier.

As we travelled east from Calgary to our destination, we saw nothing but flat, yellow wheat fields, after at least 45 minutes of driving. The prospects for an exciting night in Rosebud seemed unlikely.

After leaving the Okanagan valley we traveled east to the north Kootenay area of Invermere BC and spent a few days at the Panorama Mountain Resort. The experience at this Intrawest resort was less than remarkable and yet, the most expensive stay of our trip. Thankfully, our next stop was the Aspen Grove Bed and Breakfast in southwestern Alberta. Located just 20 minutes southwest of Pincher Creek, Alberta, this wonderful bed and breakfast exceeded all expectations.

This summer, my wife, our youngest son and myself, travelled through the beautiful Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. Before leaving on our vacation, we had searched out places to stay on the Internet. Bed and Breakfasts and Country Inns were our primary choice, as we wanted to do some research into our next online venture. What a trip it was. The next few posts are focused on three highlights of our trip—three outstanding examples of why staying at a B&B or an Inn, are always better choices than the hotel/motel alternatives.
