The 3/50 Project

Want to join the army of small business owners who have mailed The 3/50 Project Valentine to the network morning shows but fear it’s too late to go with the postal service? No sweat. We’ve included email addresses for three of them, making it possible to share the love right up to the last minute.

So…what are you waiting for? Click, save, and email…done!

(Forward the Valentine to your customers and friends, asking them to do the same—just one small business can touch a whole lotta hearts.)

As C.S. Lewis put it,

“Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn, my God, you learn.”

In light of the past two years living in a rough economy, I say it’s time to honor to all those wonderful, locally owned, independent brick and mortars who earned a crash-course MBA along the way. You deserve our respect and awe. Boatloads of it.

To celebrate their achievement, The 3/50 Project continues to push for national network morning air time, in hopes of introducing our “Pick 3, spend 50” message to the masses. If you haven’t already, please print out our free Valentine, then send it along to your favorite show (Today, Good Morning America, The Early Show, Fox & Friends) as soon as possible.

It’s simple-—click, print, and send. We even include all the addresses.

C’mon folks. We’re down to the last week…..

A big high five to our friends at WRDW-TV (CBS) in Augusta, Georgia for the terrific piece about The 3/50 Project. It’s nice to see stories popping up about our success, now that the holiday season is behind us and our work continues on.

Thanks to all you wonderful independent brick and mortars who fight the good fight. It’s your passion, determination, and loyalty to the community that makes our cities and towns richer, in a myriad of ways.

Well done!

Have you mailed your Valentines to the major media outlets yet? You know…the one reminding them that small businesses have big hearts, and that The 3/50 Project would love, love, love a little airtime on their morning programs.

If you haven’t, scurry right over to The 3/50 Project website asap, and join the Valentine Campaign. All those consumer eyeballs in the morning are hungry for a little small business joy, after all.

Yesterday morning, Jim Blasingame rolled out the red carpet for The 3/50 Project again, on his nationally syndicated radio program The Small Business Advocate. As always, he’s proven what a true believer he is in independent, locally owned businesses, fully committed to better educating their owners on how to succeed.

If you missed it, no sweat. Jim keeps a copy on his server so you can listen later.

As a bonus, the piece ran on Forbes.com too (yes, I’m dancing around the room as I say that).

Thanks, as always, to Jim for being such a wonderful champion of small business. I suggest everyone take a moment to peruse the other recordings provided on his site, then tune in regularly to this terrific program.
