Don't fear making mistakes. Fear not learning from them. Everybody screws up, even the most seasoned professionals. Where the truly successful stand out, however, is that they aren't held back by a fear of making mistakes. Instead of being afraid to make mistakes, understand that you ARE going to make them. And when you do, learn from them. Mistakes make you more knowledgeable, help you discover your own style by allowing you grow and evolve. ... So the next time that big "oops" happens, own it right away, fix what you need to fix, and be strong knowing you won't need to make that same mistake again. #entrepreneur #entrepreneurmindset #professionalgrowth #mindsetmatters #accelerateyourgrowth #businessdevelopment #smallbusinesscanada #bordercity #learnandgrow #yqgbusinessdevelopment #yqgsmallbusiness #yqgstandsstrong

We asked Accelerator President Christopher Pressey what one of his biggest business hurdles was. Here's what he told us: "True confessions time! When I started my business a decade ago, I had no idea how to run a business and was constantly afraid of failure. Having survived my fair share of mistakes and flops, I've definitely learned to reverse that mindset. I've not only learned what it takes to run a successful business, but perhaps more importantly to embrace failures a...s invaluable learning experiences. I regularly think back on those days to remind myself how far I’ve come. (Plus, it’s great for a laugh...)" Now you!

A big welcome to Windsor-Essex to ACH Engineering Inc from Toronto! Chirag and his team are a wonderful addition to our region and working on some very exciting projects locally. This story highlights and celebrates collaboration between local organizations to leverage the Windsor-Essex advantage and attract companies to our region. The thing that attracted me was the support I got from the Accelerator and the Chamber of Commerce, said ACH Engineering’s President Chirag S...hah. When I was looking to invest they helped me find office space, find people to hire and make connections. Getting that level of support on the ground is very important coming into a new market. Collaboration and the ability to leverage our joint resources is the key to creating a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem that fuels economic activity and growth. Our region provides the right setting for incredible growth and opportunities. To a 2021 filled with joy and possibilities. This is just the beginning!

2021! Here we come! We made it through 2020! What a year it has been. To all the entrepreneurs and small business owners who faced unprecedented challenges over the past year congratulations for continuing to believe and fight to survive.... As the great Steve Jobs once said: I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. To a New Year full of hope and possibilities. The Accelerator
