Hello GTPlanet, I could use some help from a successful Entrepreneur!

Here's the low down:

I am currently taking Grade 11 Entrepreneurship this year in High School.

I am doing a school project in which I need to interview an Entrepreneur, it would be very helpful if someone could assist me in this.

I will list the questions for anyone interested to answer, and ask for responses to be sent via private message to keep it confidential.

Also, answers to questions that you want to keep confidential (by which I mean not disclosing) is perfectly acceptable.

Here are the questions

· Who are they?
· What is their business?
· What do they do?
· How long have they been doing it?
· Do they have a lot of competition?
· How do they stay ahead of their competition?
· Is their business success based on price competitiveness, customer loyalty, extreme service, other?
· Is this a business that they developed, or are there partners?
· What did they do before they started this business?
· Why did they choose to get into this business?
· What key factors have contributed to their success?
· What would they claim are their strengths and weaknesses?
· What kind of qualities do they possess which has led them to be a successful entrepreneur/leader in our community?
· Describe their specific characteristics and/or skills?
· What roadblocks have they have encountered on their road to success?
· Has there been a time that they considered quitting?
· Do they have anyone that has inspired them over the course of their life?
· Do they have a favourite quote that inspires them?
· What is most rewarding about being your own boss?
 
This is of no use to you but i find this pretty weird. I'm a tenth grader taking an entrepreneurship class as well. Haha. Maybe you're from my school and we don't even know it :P
 
I've owned several establishments and run more than a few business operations in my short life. I'm clearly not very good at it or I'd be twice as rich as I am now, but I'd be happy to help.

Are you currently running one? If so I'd be glad if you could assist. If you could answer those questions sometime this week, it would be very much appreciated! :)
 
Yeah, I'm MD of a (smallish) company dealing with marketing and exports. I'll go through the questions sometime this week and PM them to you.
