Business Innovators of America

Entrepreneurial companies do not have a mindset that adapts to
failure. Things go wrong, of course, but entrepreneurs donïFFDt
call them "failures" they call them "glitches, mistakes,
bungles, setbacks" ïFFD013 but not failing.
When one such entrepreneur was asked about the hardest decision
he ever had to make, he answered that he didnïFFDt know what a
hard
decision was. An entrepreneur will approach decision-making with
the idea that thereïFFDs a strong likelihood that he/she will be
wrong. This doesnïFFDt dissuade them ïFFD013 to the contrary
they just
do the best they can and worry about handling obstacles as they
arise.
Here's a few companies:
Sandlin Custom Homes
Signs of a recovering market are becoming more evident. The number of homes and developed lots continues to decrease steadily. One of Dallas-Fort Worth's major homebuilders is doing what seemed impossible 18 month ago - rolling out an entire new phase in one of their most popular north Texas communities.
Inspire Productions
Oakland's hidden gem, and America's first roof top garden constructed after WWII, proudly opens its doors for event hosting on August 3rd, 2010, featuring an event industry exclusive reception from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. This 3.5-acre, meticulously manicured garden park sits five stories above the hustle and bustle of the city atop the Kaiser Center garage.
Southern Bleacher Company
The Butler University Bulldogs are celebrating a number of achievements for the 2009-2010 athletic seasons. Not only did the Butler Bulldogs advance to the NCAA's magical Final Four in basketball, but on the gridiron, the Bulldogs achieved record-setting milestones by going 11-1, topping the Pioneer Football League, capturing their first post-season win and winning the Gridiron Classic and the Hoosier Helmet Trophy. And success on the field has now translated into achievements of another flavor.
Conservatory Craftsmen
When Fireman Hospitality Group decided to open a new Bond 45 restaurant in National Harbor, Maryland, overlooking the marina on the banks of the Potomac River, their challenge was to take advantage of the view on the terrace all year long, not just the few months of seasonal weather. The solution: a conservatory, bringing the feeling and light of the outdoors into a room protected from the weather. However, one large conservatory on the long terrace would not give the intimacy desired, so the group elected to build four separate green hip-roofed conservatories, all overlooking the harbor. To build the conservatories, Fireman's architects turned to Conservatory Craftsmen, conservatory builders and designers out of Minnesota.
Del Mar DataTrac
Del Mar DataTrac®, Inc. (DMD), the leading provider of affordable end-to-end mortgage lending automation solutions, and an industry pioneer in business intelligence, document imaging and management, and loan process workflow tools, collaborated with the North Collin County Habitat for Humanity chapter in McKinney, TX, by providing its DataTrac Originator point of sale (POS) system which includes powerful tools to help capture borrower commitments quickly and easily to support the organization's affordable home ownership initiatives.

Sharewell L.P. is pleased to announce that it has completed the purchase of the patented, proprietary EM MWD technology jointly developed pursuant to an exclusive license agreement between E-Spectrum Technologies and Sharewell L.P.
