Entrepreneur of the Year - Do You Have What It Takes?

March 26th, 2008

Entrepreneur of The YearBRING IT ON!

I just applied, I was actually just scrolling the site and it showed up so I took about 15 minutes of my time to apply - heck, why not?

Entrepreneur Magazine picks two “Entrepreneurs of The Year…”

1. Entrepreneur of the Year: Must have less than 100 employees in 2007 and more than $3M in revenues.

2. Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year: Must have had less than 5 employees in 2007, more than $500,000 in revenues.

It’s the same application though - I guess they automatically shuffle you one way or the other. Guess which one I’m shooting for?

The application is pretty easy - although they really should offer more insight on how MUCH they want you to write in the short essays. You basically give some general business information, then you fill out a few questions:

1. Have you owned previous businesses? (briefly explain)
2. Briefly explain how have you impacted your industry?
3. Briefly explain how you have impacted your community?
4. Briefly explain how you have impacted your employees?
5.Briefly explain how you have impacted your customers?

I wrote about 200 words or so per question and think I had pretty good answers! Anyways, go apply, even if you make the Top 10, they give you pretty good publicity…
