The Entrepreneur Yearbook 2007 is calling for contributions from business owners throughout Wales. If you run your own business, we want to know what you think about being an entrepreneur. We want to understand what motivates you, what struggles you have had to overcome, and what you have learnt so far. Please take 10 minutes to complete our questionnaire, and, as a small thank you for your contribution we'll give you a credit in the book (including a description of your business and your website address), a link from the EYB website, and an invitation to the launch party.

If you would prefer to download the questionnaire and answer it off-line in your own time,

The deadline for responses is 30th October 2006.
