Q. Does that help you foster strong, long-standing relationships?
A. Relationships are the most important part of our business. If I’m a strategic adviser, I need to be a resource that brings value to your business. I need to come in and bring some insight, challenge your team and show them the realm of opportunity and potential. We don’t need to have the biggest project. Instead, we need a string of projects where each time we deliver we create value and help the business transform.

Recognizing entrepreneurial excellence
The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® awards recognize the men and women who put everything on the line to turn ideas into viable enterprises. Now in its 24th year, the awards honor those who build the market-leading companies that make our communities, our country and, indeed, the world a better place.
Being a recipient of this prestigious business award means you’re at the top of your game and puts you in the company of such entrepreneurs as Tom Adams of Rosetta Stone, Michael Dell of Dell Inc. and Pierre Omidyar of eBay Inc.
An Entrepreneur Of The Year® nominee must be an owner/manager of a private or public company with primary responsibility for the recent performance of the company and an active member of top management. The nominee’s company must be at least two years old.
Successful entrepreneurs, whether company founders or current leaders, have a knack for taking businesses to the next level. They employ creative ways to find the capital and resources they need to reach their goals as well as build and grow businesses.
If this sounds like you, consider applying to be a 2010 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year®.
