The 90% Rule: Ken Tencer’s Advice to Canadian Entrepreneurs

I had coffee the other day with Ken Tencer, author of The 90% Rule – What’s Your Next Big Opportunity and Cause a Disturbance. We got chatting about the advice he gives to Canadian Entrepreneurs and we got on the topic of his recent article in The Globe and Mail, “Americans want to be Bill Gates. Canadians want to be careful.”

Quite the catchy title, the article is based on the differences between Canadian and American entrepreneurs, and why the assumption that Americans seem to be more open to risk than their oft-more conservative Canadian counterparts. He also offers some great advice to Canadian entrepreneurs about their roles in world class innovation.

Check out the full article here: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/small-business/sbdigital/innovation/americans-want-to-be-bill-gates-canadians-want-to-be-careful/article19547293/#dashboard/follows/.
