Defining the World’s Most Entrepreneurial Countries

by Case Lane

In the summer of 2020, global travel is largely off limits for most people, but there are other ways to travel around the world.

The global pandemic situation has prompted many people to begin considering the need to create an additional stream of income through an online business. But how many people live in a country that fully supports their intentions.

Researchers use different measures to determine an answer to this question. Studies ask: who is entrepreneurial or who isn’t…and what about whole countries? 

Can the entrepreneurial receipt-ability of entire people be determined? And if yes, what would be the factors? Why would some people be considered more entrepreneurial than others?

And if you are or are not in one of these countries, what does it say about your chances for starting a business?

Map of the world with flags

If you’ve read my book Life Dream, you know I’ve observed entrepreneurial behavior all over the world that supports my belief that the entrepreneurial strain runs through our human DNA.  So when smart people come up with their fancy lists defining who is and is not entrepreneurial, I wonder where are the world’s most entrepreneurial countries and why were they selected for the title?

Defining World’s Most Entrepreneurial

When you look at a shanty town or slum, an informal residential area of poor people who are living perhaps in wood or mud huts or cardboard boxes, you might think…these are poor people and there’s not much going on…

…But when you look closely, you might see an incredible depth of activity that can only be described as entrepreneurial.

So what really are the world’s most entrepreneurial countries?

A quick check online reveals there are many lists ranking the world’s most entrepreneurial countries along defined terms.  In this article, I’m going to review two that stood out because they reach two different conclusions. Their conflicting results speak volumes about who are the entrepreneurs in the world.

One list comes from the Global Entrepreneurship Index from the Global Entrepreneurship and Development Institute (GEDI) in Washington, DC.

The index uses 14 pillars to rank entrepreneurship, based on concepts like attitude, ability, transportation infrastructure, broadband and similar factors.

At a glance, the list appears…unimaginative.  The emphasis, and credit, for entrepreneurship appears to be awarded to the dollar value created by companies in advanced economies, not the more global entrepreneurship definition of delivering value to solve a problem.

The other list comes from Latona’s analysis of the report from Global Entrepreneur Monitor (GEM).  And not only did they create a different list of top countries, but also the factors used to determine entrepreneurial tendencies might not even be considered relevant by typical entrepreneurs.

The Entrepreneurial Factors

The GEM list has six fascinating questions. Consider how an aspiring entrepreneur in your culture might respond to these prompts.

GEM asked 18 – 64 year olds whether ‘fear of failure’ would prevent them from starting a business.  The assumption, I assume, is that a population that answers ‘yes,’ they are too afraid of failure to start a business, would have a hard time encouraging aspiring entrepreneurs. 

But would not a true aspiring entrepreneur, by definition, answer ‘no’ to that question because the true entrepreneur overcomes fears and starts a business with confidence. In other words, the question might be ‘yes’ for the typical population, but ‘no’ for anyone who would ever consider becoming an entrepreneur.

The next question was about entrepreneurial intentions – who was planning to start a business within 3 years.

One result which stood out was Switzerland. The wealthy country ranked #2 on the GEDI list of world’s most entrepreneurial. But in the GEM survey just 7% of Swiss answered ‘yes’ to entrepreneurial intentions questions. The country scored .87 (less than 1 point) out of 10 on this question.

This result reflects the concern raised at the beginning of this article. A wealthy industrial country may not be entrepreneurial on measures that count for the future, like the ability to nurture sustained entrepreneurship.

As always with numbers, be wary of statistics, surveys and lists.

Weighing Innovation

The GEM list also weighted the questions, further indicating the factors they considered important to an entrepreneurial culture.

One question alone, on innovation, represented 40% of the country’s entrepreneurial value, the heaviest weight awarded in the overall score.

But the wording of the question uniquely defined innovation as the percentage of those involved in total early-stage entrepreneurial activity (TEA) who indicate that their product or service is new to at least some customers AND that few/no businesses offer the same product.

That is an extraordinary measure to quantify. How many people can really answer ‘yes’ to that question? If an entrepreneur introduces a product or service adaptation with features that do not exist elsewhere, and puts their own unique perspective, and singular approach into the creation of the product or service, does it count as new or old?

Where is ‘same’ product defined? At the macro level, almost everything can fit somewhere. If you start creating t-shirts with cool sayings on them, the product is a t-shirt which is not new, but your cool sayings are your differentiator. And it is that difference that makes for your success as an entrepreneur.

However, it appears that the weight of the ‘yes’ answer to that question helped define the overall list.  The three countries with the highest percentage of ‘yes’ where Chile, India and Luxembourg  – who ranked 1, 2 and 5 on the overall list. 

If innovation, being first and new, is considered the hallmark of entrepreneurship, then those who demonstrate that intention come out ahead.

The Important but Unavailable Factors

Another question was around the availability of financing, and the last one was on the inclusion of entrepreneurship in basic school education.  Those are two factors that the most famous entrepreneurs’ stories do not really cultivate.  Most countries do not include entrepreneurship in their basic education, and many successful entrepreneurs boot-strapped their way to initial success.

The rating for those two questions were not yes-no but an index number.

The ‘What Will People Say Question’

Another index question, which was left out of the final score was:  The extent to which social and cultural norms encourage or allow actions leading to new business methods or activities that can potentially increase personal wealth and income.

Amazingly that loaded question could in fact be the basis for the entire answer on any country’s score. The question should carry weight in many cultures.

Many successful entrepreneurs talk about how they were discouraged from pursuing their business ideas, and made to feel that they were doing something wrong. But their perseverance, and desire, to step away from the status quo, and pursue their own vision, ultimately led them to defy their culture and take the next step.

Since the story of getting past the backlash is one of the most common entrepreneurial stories, one that transcends cultures and locations, it could be argued that experience is the only qualifier for entrepreneurship, anywhere in the world.

The World’s Most Entrepreneurial Countries?

Given the factors used to create the GEM list and GEDI list, only three countries appeared on both: Canada, Ireland and the United States.  If you live in one of those three countries, you might be feeling a little more relaxed about your entrepreneurial chances across a variety of measures. 

In fact, Ireland ranks in the same place, at #8 on both lists!

The rest of the GEDI list is all economically advanced countries, and the rest of the GEM list is 5 out of 7 developing countries.

So what does it all mean?

Entrepreneurs exist everywhere in the world.  And the factors that make an entrepreneur vary across every possible variable. Except the one common reality…

…If you have business ideas in your head, and you are ready and willing to do the work to create a product or service that delivers value.  Then you’re an entrepreneur.

The GEDI list is:

1. United States

2. Switzerland

3. Canada

4. United Kingdom

5. Australia

6. Denmark

7. Iceland

8. Ireland

9. Sweden

10. France

The GEM list

1. Chile

2. India

3. Guatemala

4. Canada

5. Luxembourg

6. Angola

7. United States

8. Ireland

9. Turkey

10. Austria

Summary

Reviewing just two of the many lists that attempt to define entrepreneurial tendencies in national populations, you would have to concede – it depends on who you ask and how you ask…

  • You can count the availability of roads and high-speed internet or
  • You can count the variety of new ideas or public school courses
  • But in total what counts is the ability to create new businesses and add value to the economy
  • Countries that do that are the true entrepreneurial champions.

See the World like a Global Entrepreneur

Some people call themselves globalists because they believe in trading freely with other countries, and having world-level companies and organizations managing products and services.

And some people call themselves isolationists because they prefer to deal only with those within their borders, and to stay out of other people’s troubles. 

But throughout history, for better or for worse, people have been influenced by those who are outside their borders.  And in the 21st century, if you’re an entrepreneur, the influence is more often than not, a key factor in running your business. 

Whether you’re a Fortune 500 CEO or a sole proprietor who put up your first website yesterday, the entire world is your market, and if you call yourself an entrepreneur, you need to know how to look at everyone.

Your community, audience, customers or client base is the whole world.

This is your neighborhood…Your Market for your product or service

This is a 21st century reality you cannot ignore.  And to navigate effectively you need to know how to look at your community, how to recognize your place among everyone as you offer your product or service to the global marketplace.

So what should you do?

See the World as Your Market

The key idea is the entire world is your market.  This has happened because technology makes it possible to connect with people across great distances for nominal costs.  People now search for universal concepts and ideas.  And if you are the one offering what they are looking for, then you win the business.

That means you can look at the world as your neighborhood.  When you are reaching out to your customers they are as good as next door.  This is not meant to sound kumbya.  The idea is to operate with a world view.

RE Travel is travel information for globally-thinking entrepreneurs who see the entire world as their neighborhood market, and want to travel with the eyes and intention of a global entrepreneur

Maintain Your Unique Brand

This is also not meant to sound politically-correct.  You don’t have to genericize your product or service idea, or try and be all things to all people.  You just have to recognize you may have a customer base in places you did not originally expect to have them.

So be aware – not stifled by this opportunity.  But stay authentic and true to your brand. 

That’s not a conflict.  Your value to the market lies in your uniqueness, your voice, and original presentation.  Your ability to deliver to the market is in your capabilities and effort.  So you keep your product unique you while still making it global

Common problems, Multiple Solutions

Many people face the same challenges and are searching for the same solution.  If your business operates in a universal industry like technology, food or fashion, you will be able to reach people who understand the underlying concept because it is the same in different places. 

The next thing people will decide is if they like how you deliver it.

In the same way that there are thousands of personal development approaches, there may be thousands of takes on your idea.  Individuals will decide which one they like.  You may think Tony Robbins is too rah-rah, and you prefer the zen of Eckhart Tolle.  Usually you make this decision based on your own personality, not because you live in a particular location.

Of course, sometimes you can associate particular cultures with specific approaches to how things are done.  But this may also depend on the product or service you are offering.  A culture may be open to one type of product, and closed to another.  You will not know until you reach out with yours.

As an entrepreneur you look at the world as the marketplace where you can deliver your product or service.  You respect the consumers in every market, but you are really only looking for the ones who are aligned with you.

Don’t be afraid to say ‘no’ to those customers who are critical or want to do things differently.  Those are not the people you are looking for in your community, they can go elsewhere to find someone else’s version of your product or service.

You also do not have to be overly aware of holidays, time zones or standard work weeks.  We live in a 24/7/365 time-shifting world.  Whenever you decide to present your product or service, someone is awake somewhere in the world.  And those who miss it the first time can catch the replay.

This is another benefit to operating in our high-tech global environment.  There is plenty of scope for you to work when you want to work and still reach those who are looking for you. 

So as you look at the world – your neighborhood – think of it as an always on, always open space. 

Operate Inside the Walls

I have an analogy I use to explain the difference between self-publishing and traditional publishing, but I think the idea also suits this topic. 

Imagine a walled city, like you see in the movies and on TV, you know like Winterfell.  Imagine in the center is the public market.  Entrepreneurs are there all the time selling products and services, and buyers are there all the time as well. 

The idea with traditional publishing is that you the author stand outside the wall and try and talk a sentry into escorting you in.  Once you enter with a sentry people will notice you.  You still have to deliver a product people are interested in, but you have a little attention already built in.

With self-publishing, you enter through the open door.  You walk right into the midst of the marketplace, where everyone is trying to get everyone else’s attention.  To get people interested in you, you really have to perform and figure out a way to grab their attention.  You are in, right from day one.  But you are on your own.

Frankly I prefer to operate from inside the walls, not outside.  And you can imagine your place in the global marketplace the same way.  You are in once you create your product or service that’s available for sale to the global marketplace.  And you stay in as long as you continue to draw attention to your business.

If people like what they see, if you deliver the value they seek, they will notice you and come to you.

That’s what you want to be doing when you are looking at the world as an entrepreneur – you want to be participating.

Developing World Markets and Your Business Strategy

If you are old enough to remember the songs ‘Feed the World’ or ‘Do they know it’s Christmas?’ your image of the country of Ethiopia may be of a long line of starving people holding a bowl as they wait for a spoon of food.

If you were paying attention to the news headlines the week of October 22, 2018, you know the country just appointed its first female president, in a country where women hold half the seats in the cabinet.

If you are young enough to have never heard of Ethiopia except during the Summer Olympics, you may need an update. Because Ethiopia today is indicative of the changing global landscape all entrepreneurs should understand and embrace.

Ethiopia is a country in north east Africa, with a land-mass covering most of the Horn of Africa. Wars and disputes made the second most populous country in Africa land-locked, but they are not without water. The ancient civilization is built around the start of the Blue Nile river. Today there are over 100 million people, who live, not in a desperate dusty desert, but in one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

When global charity was galvanized by Irish rocker Bob Geldof to help save the people of Ethiopia from starvation in 1984, the country had fewer than half as many people as it has now. But today, three decades later, agriculture is one industry’s leading the economy’s turnaround. This remarkable achievement should galvanize those who seek to provide aid to the suffering in hope of a better future; and humble those who said failed states should be left to die.

Ethiopia today is being heralded as a country that has made an effort to build infrastructure, stabilize the economy and promote growth. The African nation is one of the many development growth stories that are unknown to the typical North American media consumer, and therefore ignored by the typical rising entrepreneur.

Of course there are still problems. Ethiopia is both one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and one of the most impoverished.

But understanding the transformation in Ethiopia and other developing countries is critical for positioning your business in the expanding global marketplace. Remaining aware of the countries that may provide open markets gives you an opportunity to participate in the growth.

Because if you miss the story of a developing Ethiopia, you miss the opportunity of the broader global marketplace. Every entrepreneur can reach out to the entire world through businesses that solve global problems. In Ethiopia, as in many other countries in the developing world, actual development – the building of infrastructure, creation of jobs, running of schools and hospitals – is taking place at an unprecedented rate. The effects – new highways, skyscrapers, housing, healthier citizens – are visible and reflect a renewed hope in global progress.

Of course there is no denying many countries still face the challenge of poverty, malnutrition, disease, internal instability and civil unrest, but these issues also place a threat to the developed world. The emphasis in the rising economy countries is on moving forward, and working to change the history to reflect a more promising future for its citizens.

For rising global entrepreneurs, it is important to look at Ethiopia and other countries from the perspective of their emerging middle class. For countries moving towards what the World Bank calls ‘middle income’ status, the government targets continued investment and access to credit as the key economic policies to encourage. Once a reliable infrastructure – electricity, water, sanitation, road, communication – has been built out, investors feel more comfortable pouring money into factories, office buildings and resource mines.

For entrepreneurs with smaller businesses, especially those operating online, there is no need to wait for these large scale physical pieces of the structural pie to be constructed. An alert entrepreneur who is looking for opportunity can use Internet resources to find out what people are looking for online.

A quick glance at Twitter #ethiopia #ethiopian includes references to investment like a call for policies for startups to raise capital; as well as notes about products like – hair, food, Ethiopian airlines, jewelry, coffee, music. My disclaimer: this post is focused on business and entrepreneurial issues but I will note the overwhelming number of tweets are about politics, migrants and refugees, and government action against different ethnic groups.

These difficult development issues do dominate the headlines. But if you looked at the opportunities in the United States from the perspective of the twitter feeds, your focus would be on election inquiries, voter suppression, corruption, civil rights protests and opioids. In other words, there is more to the business economy than the news cycle is prepared to discuss.

Many people would not be prepared to do business in Ethiopia because of the country’s history and potential instability. But for rising entrepreneurs who want to stay alert and interested in the global marketplace, consider the needs of the developing world middle class in your plans.

  1. Acknowledge there is a developing world middle class to whom you could be engaged in business.
  2. Incorporate broader consumer wants and needs in your business planning. What did you need as someone functioning with a good job, growing family and maybe a new residence to keep up? What are the types of services currently not available to people in rising economies?  Pay particular attention to information and entertainment products. These types of products travel well, have universal appeal and can be translated for different markets. If you teach value skills, you may find you have a market in the countries where education is coveted.
  3. Decide how you will approach new markets. This will not be easy. But when you begin marketing and promoting, for example when you look at blogger sites, see if there are more international sites you can appeal to. Also the global media has sites for news, which can be approached to determine opportunities for promotion, and to provide leads to other influencers in that market. If you want to actively target a particular country – try finding their most popular media sites first.
  1. Stay connected to your new global market. It would be a shame to take the time to build and cultivate a particular market only to abandon it later because of the extra legwork required to establish a connection in the first place. New markets are here to stay and should have a permanent place in your business plan.  Of course keep following blogs at Ready Entrepreneur where we always incorporate global marketplace ideas into our discussion.

One other note, as the developing world becomes developed, there will be no shortage of new businesses arising on streets and online that will be able to market goods and services to the locals. Stay focused on your niche, the particular product area, which could be valuable to any consumer anywhere in the world.

Authenticity is important in business, and trying to imitate locals in their own market rarely works. Instead play to your differences. Locals are often curious about foreigners and foreign products. Use your uniqueness to your advantage.

The growth of Ethiopia’s middle class is an example of how the developing world is moving rapidly towards development. These busy and exciting markets provide plenty of opportunities for business especially rising entrepreneurs who are interested in operating wherever you see a problem that needs to be solved.

Global from Your Backyard – Tips for the Globalizing Entrepreneur

ELEVEN GLOBALIZATION FACTORS TO USE IN YOUR BUSINESS

The idea of globalization has many people worried about their economic and employment future. After all, globalization means competition with everyone on earth (7 billion people), and those who have favorable trade, regulatory or tax environments enjoy an advantage. Maybe you fear a race to the bottom in wages and prices because there is always someone who may undercut you.

But globalization presents extraordinary opportunities. Because of the common bonds all humans share, globalization provides you with an opportunity to take your product or service to new markets, and introduce varied cultures and backgrounds to the value you have to offer. You may be surprised by how well you do because of the ties that bind across all humanity, and bring us together more often than split us apart.

Globalization means you are operating on an international scale. Even as a small business owner, you are thinking about how to deliver your product or service in a global marketplace. Here are eleven factors to keep in mind:

  1. Use differences

Many people have a pre-conceived stereotypical idea about what other people are like. Depending on the product or service you are delivering, the stereotype may be a selling point in a foreign market, as long as you are careful to keep the image playful and not offensive. In this Internet era, your advertising is available to the world. If you use insulting images everyone will know about it. But if you relate the image to your product or service in a fun and tailored way, you may get a positive response.

Part of your value is in your uniqueness, and part of your uniqueness may very well be where you come from.

Action: Use the cultural or location uniqueness of your product or service to appeal to foreign audiences.

 

  1. Highlight similarities

Even before the Internet era, people around the world were united through sports, popular television shows, movies, and music. Michael Jackson’s death was famously acknowledged on every continent with young people coming together to dress and dance as he once did.

You can likely find a connection between your country and your target market, which can be used to build a shared idea around your product or service. When finding common political or historical grounds, do your homework and make sure you are not igniting old negative sensibilities. Sadly, many countries have the same foundational backgrounds because they were the victims of colonialism and conquest, and the stories are not always welcomed as history. Position your product or service on the positive side of shared ties.

Action: Research the history of your country and your target market and try to find a political or historical connection that ties back to your product or service.

 

  1. Use photos

A picture is worth a thousand words. The saying has never been more relevant.  Humans have always used pictures to describe and memorialize their history, stories, and the world around them.  But the process is much faster now with photo/video sites on the Internet rising in popularity. With a camera in every hand, capturing and displaying images is a daily occurrence for millions of people.

Imagine how your product or service can be captured for display for people who speak a different language or have a different culture. If people see an image they can instantly understand, they will probably share it with others, and spread the word about the value you are delivering.

Action: Capture the value of your product or service in images that can be shared.

 

  1. Be affordable

Nearly one in five of the world’s people live on less than one dollar a day, nearly one half live on less than three dollars a day.  But development is happening everywhere, and the opportunity for economic growth exists in even the poorest countries.  Depending on your product or service, you may have an opportunity to reach a broader base by providing free or low cost introductory products for your audience.  You can utilize global resources and outsource to find the most affordable options.  This will allow you to maximize sales and volume, if that’s the gain you are hoping for.

Action: If you create a free or low cost introductory product or service, you have an opportunity to reach a broader overall market.

 

  1. Be expensive

Consider the estimated potential for a middle class including as much as half the world, more than 3 billion people, who could become part of the global middle class in the next few years. This presents an outstanding opportunity for all businesses.

The global middle class will be buying everything, not just consumer goods like cars and microwaves, but information, education, software, self-improvement and business development tools as well. Plus this group is Internet-connected, and well aware of their consumer needs. If you ignore them, you will miss out on amazing opportunities.

Action: Price your product or service at its value to your consumer market. Quality, premium goods support consumers’ goals, aspirations and tastes all over the world.

  

  1. Travel and see for yourself

When you travel to the destinations you’ve only heard about, you find out what people are really like, as well as the market’s consumer interests. Although you may be concerned about venturing around the world right now, travel is not as daunting as it may sometimes appear. If you have a flexible schedule and can travel in non-peak times, you may be able to find inexpensive fares, hotels and even tours. Use the tours to help you navigate the land, but make sure you also wander into the streets and observe the daily goings on with the local people.

You may find endless ideas to support your product or service launch in the market you are visiting.

Action: Schedule travel to markets where you plan on launching your product or service.

 

  1. Provide information

People are looking for well-presented, straightforward, consumable information about a myriad of topics (look at Google search terms). If you can tie your product or service to a broader topic, you may double (and triple and quadruple) the value you provide to your intended customer base.

In many countries, although people have the Internet, they do not have support services such as libraries or government agencies to back up their research. Think about the industry your product or service is in, and the type of information people need when using the product or service. Package or support your business with this additional user-friendly information. Being a broader source of information could make you the industry’s go-to person and an influencer for the market where you sell.

Action: When preparing the product or service for the overseas market, consider the industry information that may be relevant and valuable to your targeted audience.

 

  1. Be flexible with time zones

If you are doing business in the entire world, understand the impact of time zones on your event marketing and launch scheduling. You may not get the results you want if you are only available to the public when your target market is asleep. When doing webinars or live events, if you are reaching out to the whole world, include different times when people can tune-in and catch you. These types of events have a huge impact on building your audience and you do not want your intended target market to miss you.

Action: Have a system for checking the time in your target market so you can schedule for your intended audience.

 

  1. Learn language keywords

When you branch out globally, you may decide to target two or three potentially strong markets for your product or service. In this case, learn a word or two in the local language to use in your communication, advertising and promotions. Check how the locals say: Hello, Thank you, and Contact Me.

Google Translate and other tools make it easy for you to receive messages in multiple languages. You can indicate your willingness to accept different languages by expressing the interest in your outgoing communications. Using a little of the local language could be a differentiator and allow you to stand out from others who may have a similar product or service. Plus it could indicate to your audience that you know a little something about where they come from.

Action: Add words in a foreign language to target specific global audiences where you may have a following. Show your global view in your communications.

 

  1. Connect your technology

Globalization means you are part of an integrated economy. But if your technology for communicating with customers, accepting purchases, and delivering products or services does not reach everyone you want to serve, you will miss out on potential customers.

Double-check your technology and the options you have available for your customers. For example, make sure e-mails have the option to be delivered in Plain Text or HTML so people in countries with slow Internet do not have to wait for graphics to load. Having accessible technology is vital to being a global business, no matter how small or niche your market.

Action: Check your technology to make sure options are provided for the various types of Internet access and speeds available around the world.

 

  1. Be Consistent

Universally, consumers are looking for valuable products, services and information they can rely on. As you begin rolling out your product or service, stay in the markets where you go and continue to deliver value to those consumers. Of course, if delivery in the market does not go well you can always back out. But once you’ve established customers there, don’t forget them. You will likely be part of a growing marketplace and can continue to offer new products and services where you are already established.

Action: Think global from the beginning and maintain a consistent approach to your global customers.

Remember…

Successful global entrepreneurs recognize the entire world is the potential marketplace for their products and services. As you approach global customers, your valuable contribution to the world marketplace will be recognized and celebrated if you remember these eleven tips for being Global right from Your Backyard.
