I've never been more proud of the small business community. While the businesses of many of our fellow economic heroes have fallen, the vast majority have made it and learned volumes.
We will never be the same.
The reason I am so proud is because through these tougher times, the community has made extraordinary efforts to support small businesses. Membership continues to grow at ASBA, SCORE, EO, Enterprise Network, and the Arizona Chamber of Commerce. These organizations are proactively reaching out to provide information, connections, and resources, much of which are absolutely free.
And new businesses such as NetworkingPhoenix.com were started to provide innovative services to help us connect. Microsoft's BizSpark program emerged to provide thousands of dollars in free software to support technology start-ups. AZIGG, the Arizona International Growth Group, was founded to put Phoenix on the world stage and help local companies expand globally. The growing power of social media has made it possible to connect with our customers better than ever before.
The small business community wasn't beaten by the recession, it was made stronger.
We learned that we are more powerful together than we are separated. We learned that others do care if we succeed; in fact, the entire US economy is depending on it.
The John Adam Show is proud to be the media hub for our community, and 1510 KFNN has offered us an unprecedented opportunity to broadcast every day of the business week. Right now, our business community leaders and cast of business experts are working to raise the funds from major corporate partners. If you'd like to stand with us and help, please contact us immediately. Our goal is to provide daily support to small businesses beginning this August.
