Our business magazine started as a humble effort when we published the first issue inNOV 2014. As we look back at our journey from the First to the 50th issue, it’s only fittingthat we dedicate a special feature to our magazine’s story.

Today, we tell you about our progress and the accomplishments we have had so far and our vision for the future of this magazine, but most importantly we take this opportunity to thank our readers, our top contributors & writers, our staff and all our advertising partners as we wouldn’t have reached this milestone without their continued support.

Today, we share the story of an incredible journey with you.

Journey, Achievements & Milestones Back when we started, we aimed to create a magazine for our readers based mainly in Ontario that covered news and articles on the economy, the recent developments in Canadian business, current entrepreneurship advice, insightful interviews with entrepreneurs and CEOs, changing market trends, tax advice and everything else you would expect from a business periodical.

As our reader base & popularity grew, we engaged with our readers to get feedback and improve our reader experience. Based on the feedback we received the scope of our content grew to include topics such as science, technology, health, fitness, travel & tourism. We added these new topics based on reader feedback because we wanted to give our readers a diverse range of topics to read and not just focus solely on business.

We also looked at opportunities to offer an affordable marketing channel to small businesses that don’t operate on a huge marketing budget. Connecting with small businesses within and outside Ontario we were able to foster long-term relationships and provide value in the form of an advertising medium that comes with low advertising spend but a high return on investment.

Horoscope for JUNE- JULY 19GEMINI - CANCER

GEMINI

The horoscope for Gemini is an interesting one, because you never know what to expect from these clever folks. They can adapt to almost any situation, but they're so indecisive and devious that you never know how that adaption will turn out.

The Strengths of Gemini A very noticeable horoscope personality for Gemini is their energy. These are indeed very energetic people who are always ready to take the day by storm. They are often very physically active, and we often see them as fitness instructors or professional athletes, but their energy is also emotional. They are virtually indefatigable.

They're also quite clever, and one of

the most positive examples of a horoscope characteristic for Gemini is their cleverness. When you're playing a game with this sign, you'll be treated to clever and sophisticated ways of questions being answered. They are very witty and are often entertainers and comedians. They will keep the crowds laughing all night with their humor and energy.

The Weaknesses of Gemini The biggest negative horoscope personality for Gemini is their superficiality. While it can be great that they're so adaptable, it can also translate to them simply not be real. They often only share a part of themselves with people they meet - and usually this is whatever part they've deemed the person wants to see. They are master apers, which

means they can instantly see what people are like and can reflect those characteristics themselves.

Gemini are extremely impulsive and rarely do they think things through. A horoscope characteristic for them is impulsive because if something sounds good to them, then they're likely just going to do it. Rarely do they spend any time soul searching to decide what the right decision is. Their lives are often the result of which way the wind was blowing on a particular day.

Indeed, they are very restless and they want constant change in their lives. Their horoscope personality for Gemini gets quite bored if they see the same things day in and day out. They want adventure, they want
