Innovators

What is it that defines the rarefied air of the innovator in business? At Entrepreneur, we've spent a lot of time trying to crack the code and here's our conclusion: An innovator is someone who pushes the boundaries of the known world--a change agent who is relentless in making things happen and bringing ideas to execution.

In many ways, innovation is key to your success--no matter what your business is. The minute you stop innovating is the minute you become mediocre.

In this special report, we celebrate and encourage innovation--and those who innovate.
