James Laducer, a member of the Turtle Mountain Ojibwe Tribe of North Dakota, owns an information technology company but he says achieving success was not easy.

Laducer used to work at the United Tribes Technical College and helped Native American and tribes develop financial plans. When he started his own business, he said he almost was forced to close within two weeks.

Laducer secured long-term contracting work with his own tribe. Today, he employs 250 people and was named U.S. Small Business Administration's Person of the Year in North Dakota in 2000.
