On challenging the status quo and building a company that is an expression of who you are.

From the September 2010 Inc. Magazine editor’s letter (Jane Berentson):

Behind the achievement of fast growth are CEOs whose success proves that no industry is too humble or too sophisticated for the truly ambitious. These are men and women who ferret out opportunities, unearth profitable niches, and then find confirmation of their ideas and strategies in the marketplace.

Of course, they take pride in the achievement of fast growth. But if you read their stories in the pages that follow, you’ll find that their companies are much, much more than engines of growth. They are expressions of what’s important to them, of how they want to live their lives, engage their minds, treat other people, feed their families, and influence the world.
