The Flag Shop wasn't so lucky – Dickinson declined to invest in the business."Mark Brand is incredibly driven, hard working and visionary," Dickinson said in a press release. "And those traits,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler outlet[/url], combined with a great team, make for great entrepreneurs."Dickinson told Brand to bolster the business's bakery,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler sale[/url], boost the deli's evening business and shave 10% of his social enterprises. In the end,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler outlet[/url], Brand managed to bring the business' profits up."Partnering with Arlene has been amazing," Brand said. "She pushes my team and I really hard and brings a fresh set of eyes to this beast."nbennett@biv.com@nbennett_bivTags: Jim Treliving, earnings, Canadian Broadcasting Corp., entrepreneur
