The book That’ll Never Work: Business Lessons From Successful Canadian Entrepreneurs was recently commissioned by the KPMG, and should be read by anyone who has ever dreamed of starting their own business.  

This is a funny and compelling collection of stories told by nineteen Canadian entrepreneurs who have become successful despite the odds. Its an incredibly insightful and honest retelling of their challenges and the desire to achieve their goals despite being told “That’ll never work”.  It’s a powerful lesson on overcoming adversity and winning the race. The book is a careful look at the importance of recognizing that being an entrepreneur often means being able to forge one’s own path to success.

The practical tips and advice contained in this book, are meant to give innovative business men and women, the tools they will need to help them move forward and ignore the naysayers.
