Wanted: Entrepreneur Interviews

Posted by Bonny Albo Dec 18, 2006

One of the most important parts of becoming a successful entrepreneur, in my view, is learning from others. Whether as a business mentor, networking group or merely reading an article about other small business owners, lifelong learning from those who have walked in your shoes already is important for community building and entrepreneurial success.

With this in mind, I'm looking to meet with and interview (virtually) business owners for the article section of the Entrepreneurs website.

Criteria:

• You must have started your own business and successfully run it for at least one year;
• Be available for two hours in a one week period to answer interview questions;
• Willing to answer reader questions in our discussion forums after the interview has been posted; and
• Have a photo of yourself to post online, along with a link on how to get more information about you or your business.

I am particularly interested in work at home businesses, gay entrepreneurs, women entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs, teen entrepreneurs, Internet entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs who started late in life. However, any entrepreneur who fits the criteria above are more than welcome to email me with the following information to get the ball rolling:

• Your full name, location and any other personal information relevant to an interview;
• A paragraph about your business mission, values or goals;
• A paragraph about how your business found success;
• What your business still struggles with today; and
• Any other information you feel is applicable.

Although I cannot respond to all inquiries, I will do my best to answer each and every interview request.
