In an era of huge corporations and international conglomerates snapping up small businesses in every industry, the Daily Press found five local entrepreneurs who have found a way to go to work for themselves, building their companies from nothing, one customer at a time.

"We promote a positive message, and that's balancing success at work with your personal life," Bill said. "I think you'll find we're practicing what we preach."

 

 

The Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce held its annual Small Business Awards Dinner on Tuesday, June 5, 2007, at Point Plaza Suites & Conference Hotel in Newport News.

Chamber President & CEO, Dottie Jordan, congratulates Heidi & Bill Dittmar of Executive Lifestyle Magazine, as Charles Mitchell of Zel Technologies (VPCC Vice Chair of Member Services & Board Chairman-Elect) looks on. The Dittmars were awarded Small Business Person(s) of the Year at the 2007 Small Business Awards Dinner on June 5th.

Bill and Heidi Dittmar learned from mistakes while building their magazines and now plan to expand.

Bill Dittmar didn't know what he was getting into when he started a magazine 15 years ago, but now he hopes to duplicate his success around the country.

Dittmar and his wife, Heidi, produce the quarterly Peninsula magazine and Southside magazine, from their home of?ce. The Dittmars easily can say what went wrong when they started in 1991 and what works well now.
