Entrepreneur Hot 500 List

I am reading the Entrepreneur Hot 500 issue. Like the Inc. 500 list (which also recently arrived), I love these issues with information about successful hot start-ups. They are inspiring, fascinating (you can make money doing that???) and I've even made some great business contacts like Priority Leasing from studying these lists.

Here's a couple of interesting and relevant facts listed under the "Entrepreneur Hot 500 List At A Glance" (page 72):

1. Credit cards were the 7th most popular form of financing (savings was #1 and friends and family was #2)

2. 61% of the companies in the list had turned a profit by year two and 56% had earned their first million!

Pick up this month's issue of Entrepreneur and Inc., then get inspired and get going!
