About

Hi! I’m Joseline. I live in Ottawa and I started Algonquin Clubs as a cozy corner of the internet for small-business folks who want company while they build things.

I’ve had small business side hustles for as far back as I can remember. I actually remember trying to sell my gifts from Santa to my parents. I love working for myself and I love sharing what I’ve learned even more. Algonquin Clubs is my way of cheering you on: little stories, small wins, the occasional “well, that didn’t go very well” followed by “okay, what’s next?”

Mostly, I hope this place makes you feel less alone in the doing. Running a small business can be isolating. If something here helps you breathe a little easier—or laugh at the chaos—you’ve found your people.

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that. But the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

Mark Twain
