I have been a regular reader of Inc. Magazine since 1985. I love this magazine and although it is hard to put my finger on any one item that stands out, I particularly enjoy the Inc. 500 feature and the listing of the top cities in America for business. It was through Inc.,or should I say, because of Inc. Magazine that I choose to move to my present home in sunny, beautiful Orlando, Fl. A truely dynamic city that has consistently been listed as one of the top three fastest growing cities in America. This dynamic city is still growing. Inc first started listing Orlando back in 1985.The articles are excellent. As for regular features and stories, I especially like the success stories like the one on Mr. Powell in the current issue. It is great to see the diverse ways that people succeed in business. Besides success stories, I have found the various business articles fascinating. I love the technology articles and the investment articles as well. Inc. Magazine is so complete. Itotally agree with the reviewer that said that he would not be in business without it. Really, how did business people survive prior to Inc. Magazine? The online service is also outstanding and I like the opportunity to select archives. Inc is one great publication. If you are a business person and want to succeed, read Inc.

I don't know a single super-successful business person, and I know hundreds from coast to coast, who do not read and recommend Inc. MAGAZINE. INC. is the single best business magazine, bar none.

A Good Magazine For Reading About Mid-Sized Companies October 21, 2002

"Inc. Magazine" is a good magazine for entrepreneurs building businesses. It features many entrepreneurs and their companies, and we can learn a bit about their philosophies and insights into business. Often, studying other entrepreneurs and their companies gives ideas that can help your own company/companies.I especially enjoy reading the Inc. 500 issue which features 500 of the fastest growing businesses in America. A few of the top revenue growth companies are featured. For each company the revenue growth over the last five years is given. A profit margin range is given for each company as well as the growth in employee count. Because I'm obsessed with revenue/employee as a measure of the viability of a company, it's interesting to have that data available for a range of private companies. For example, taking Company Number 300, Parker Compound Bow which makes archery bows, we see they generated $5.17 million in revenue (that's a lot of bows) and had 30 employees in 2001. Revenue per employee about $172,000. Their stated profit margin range was 16% or more. Another company claims to have $10 million revenue per employee for consulting services to the energy industry. That seems rather high. I've never known one consulting company that could generate anywhere near that. In fact, when Enron crashed, many were looking at revenue/employee numbers that were totally out of whack with reality. If it appears to be too good to be true... it probably is. Or, at least it demands further research before you invest. (Angel investors might enjoy reading Inc. Magazine to see potential IPO candidates in their areas of interest.) Many IT/software companies always make the list as do a range of other unique companies, such as one that imports and sells blue crab meat. Another (Scooter Store) sells power wheelchairs. About $200,000 revenue per employee, $169 million revenue. So, if you're in the bow business, blue crab meat business, or power wheelchair biz, you'll have an idea of revenue per employee for some of your growing competition. The regular issue of Inc. always has something interesting to read also. As with most magazines, there are quite a few ads and quite a bit of fluff, but you can flip through that quickly to find the one to three stories or columns that interest you.
