When it comes to entrepreneurship, there is no shortage of really smart people who try to help others with "The American Dream."
One of the world’s best is a gentleman by the name of Jim Blasingame.
Here is what Steve Forbes, of Forbes magazine {And a Business expert himself} said about Blasingame:
"If I were limited as to what I could do to support
entrepreneurs, I would give them a way to kindle their vision,
strengthen their tenacity, encourage their creativity, and motivate them to be courageous. I would tell them to find Jim Blasingame
— that’s what he does.
Jim has a unique way of taking his listeners and readers
to the heart and spirit of entrepreneurialism. He lifts
up entrepreneurs and speaks to them on a level that can
only be achieved by one who knows the world of small
business."
Glowing review, wouldn’t you say. Jim’s nationally syndicated radio program is called "The Small Business Advocate", which can be heard live via the internet, or on radio stations all over the world. For awhile, Cleveland’s WELW carried it, but has since moved towards some local programming. {Maybe another Cleveland radio station can pick it up..}
Jim has a varied list of Small Business experts on his show, which is geared towards current and future entrepreneurs. As a matter of fact, I have been on his show, live, several times, and enjoy it immensely. Here is a link to an interview in which Jim asked me to talk about 2007 franchise trends. Listen
"The Small Business Advocate" radio program is a great resource for future and growing Small Businesses. More folks should have access to it, or at least know about it.
On Jim’s website, there is also an archived section, in which you can listen to past interviews, and a section which Jim calls his "Brain Trust."His Brain Trust is an exclusive club of renowned experts from the Small Business community, who are resources for future and current Small Business owners.
If you want to get better at what you do, I suggest you take an hour and learn what you can from his experts. You will get better at Small Business!
