Entrepreneurs create more than businesses, they create communities. In fact, all of Canada’s urban centres can trace their existence to groups of like-minded business owners who made use of their regions’ features and nearby resources to build local economies. Today is no different; independent businesses and start-ups are vital sources of energy on which communities grow and flourish.
CFIB/HP/Intel poll finds Canadians value and respect entrepreneurship; small business is driving growth through IT investment.
Business owners recommend small business ownership as a career option for young people. Unfortunately, schools are not promoting entrepreneurship as a career option.
Ever wonder what makes entrepreneurs successful? Business owners attributed their success to employees, customer loyalty and just plain hard work. And in return, entrepreneurs help to build communities by giving back to the very people that support them.
