Overcoming the odds is a trait shared by many entrepreneurs.
The ability to face failure, pick oneself up and continue on despite the warnings and naysaying of others is something few people can lay claim to. But each year, Ernst & Young LLP honors a select group of those people who have enough faith in themselves and belief in their business acumen to take everything that’s thrown at them and find a way to succeed.
The 11 winners and 22 finalists of the 2000 Entrepreneur Of The Year program demonstrate a wide range of truly unique success stories in a cross-section of industries across Northeast Ohio. As you read their tales of triumph, consider your own business and reflect upon the trials and tribulations you’ve endured in comparison to these classic entrepreneurs.
And, if you see a resemblance, maybe next year you can join their ranks as an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year.
