Thinking of Expanding to the US?

Thinking of Expanding to the US?
canadian and the US business do a lot of trade together.

When I worked for in the Canadian Automotive after market, we imported the majority of our inventory from US manufacturers.

Over the years many US oil field companies have purchased Canadian oil field businesses. We speak the same language, watch the same TV programs, and do a lot of transborder shopping. I was thinking about this quote and had to ask the question, "How do Canadian and US cultures differ?"
"Most Canadian businesses that come to the U.S. fail," says Brown. "They think the culture is the same - and it's not." Via Canadian Business

Over the years, I have got to know many US business owners and can say I feel very comfortable with American business people. While I agree that the US and Canadian cultures are different I am not sure I can point to many specifics.

I have noticed that US business owners are more focused, deliberate, and direct than many of the Canadian business owners I have known. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the US market being 10 times larger than Canada's which requires US entrepreneurs to be more aggressive.

What do you think? What has been your experience?
