Stressed Out?
Anxious About Money?
​Struggling to do Everything Yourself? 

Start right and avoid the Self Employment Trap™. 

Statistics show that most Canadian small business owners work 15 hours more each week than the average employee and take home far less money than they hoped. Thousands more don’t survive at all.

The Fatal Assumption: Just because you know how to do the work the business does - i.e.: software engineering, cupcake baking, or clothing design - doesn’t mean you know how to design a business that does that work. 

Learn the secrets of building a business that works for you, rather than you incessantly working for it.

“Entrepreneurs have decisively different minds and approach problem-solving
with courage and in ways that are not obvious at first glance”

Timing is Everything

Timing is everything when launching a business. Instead of learning “about” business immerse yourself in an implementation structure that transfers knowledge from exemplar entrepreneurs to you and your business in real time.

“I am a creator. I take in information, not to memorize it or to regurgitate it.  I take in experiences and create something that has never been created before.”

You need a rock solid foundation to succeed in business. And no...I'm not talking about a 'business plan'.

If your business fails to take flight before concerns about legitimacy undermine both owner and customer confidence, the momentum and energy will quickly drain and your results will fall flat. Don't let that happen to you!

There is no such thing as a “plateau” in business. You’re either actively creating or you are consuming what you already created. If you take your foot off the gas to 'coast for a while' before  you've put systems in place, it will suck the life out of you, as the business owner, as well as your customers, employees, suppliers and investors.

“So many organizations that purport to offer training for entrepreneurs offer everything all at once upfront. By the time I got to where some of those things mattered,
I’d forgotten what it was they taught me”

Practical Learning, Peer-to-Peer

Peer-lead learning is key to developing great leaders. Small business owners don't like salaried experts telling us what we "should" do. Instead, we prefer to learn from people who have achieved a high level of success building a business, a turnkey system, or a process that we need.

Discovery Centre for Entrepreneurship facilitates business owners learning and growing together. We are a community of equals. By supporting one another in achieving growth and innovation we challenge each other to create effective strategies to innovate, scale and grow as a collective. Together we all gain more operational traction, create more business opportunities, and drive lasting results.

When it comes to economic development, the buck stops here - where sustainable jobs are created!

"People rarely work on the environment. They work on the task, the business name, the money. They don’t work on the environment, which is everything”

Exemplar Entrepreneurs...

• Manage BOTH strategic direction (working 'on' the business) AND tactical execution (working 'in' the business).
• Take bold action in converting social, operational, and environmental problems into business opportunities.
• Hold a grand dream for making a difference in the world that is so compelling their solution re-directs the flow of money in their industry through their business.
• Know that well designed systems and processes liberate the owner and are key to turning ordinary people into extraordinary business owners and exceptional employees.
  
• Design for innovation, growth and scalability - right from the start - creating higher rates of employment, worker satisfaction, and economic prosperity.
• Think differently than 99% of business owners, particularly when facing risk, uncertainty, creative tension (not knowing how) and emotional tension (fear, self-doubt, resistance, etc).
  

“I can’t point a finger [at them] and say, ‘That was your job, you did not do your job.’ I have to say, “Where was I?...that I let that slip such that that person was allowed to get away with it?”
