About Exceeding Limits Business Development Small and mid-sized enterprises (SME’s) make up 97% of Canadian businesses and employ 56% of all Canadians. Unfortunately, their failure rates are quite high: while the statistics are often exaggerated, it is estimated that only a third of them are still in business after 5 years. For many of these surviving businesses, success has come at a price: they are often managed by saturated owners who have sacrified their freedom and their family life for their business.
Exceeding Limits through its founder, Peter Vogopoulos, believes these the real reason for starting a business is not to own a stressful job, but to be free of one. The ultimate goal is the creation of our definition of a successful business: a high-performing source of freedom that secures the owner's financial future without his or her supreme sacrifice.
The independent, self-employed entrepreneur and the owner-managed SMEs are the "job-creators", the "growth drivers" — literally the engine of our country's economy and the source of our global competitiveness. Exceeding Limits makes a difference, every day, by helping these visionaries propser.
