SURREY, British Columbia-In the late 1980s, Rajinder Brar and some investors opened a sawmill to make cedar shakes and shingles. Due to several factors, including unstable markets and a poor economy, the venture failed. "It was a very bad experience,"Rajinder recalled. "I lost a lot of money, but it was a learning experience — a very expensive learning experience. One of my best customers gave me my best advice: make money and then spend money. I had done a lot of investing in that plant. I determined the next time around to be much more cautious, to keep borrowing to a minimum, to take baby steps."
