\"Small<\/p>\n

I am happy to say that Lisa Barone<\/a>\u00a0AND I were both awarded a spot in the list of Top 100 Small Business Champions. We are in rare company with the likes of Aaron Wall<\/a>,\u00a0John Jantsch<\/a>,\u00a0Inc. Magazine<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Intuit<\/a>\u00a0and a ton of others, many of whom I am not familiar with but would like to learn more about.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all of you that voted for me and better, thanks to those who took my advice to vote for Lisa.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Groucho Marx once noted<\/a> that he wasn’t sure that he wanted to be a member of any club that would have him as a member. That is not the case for me in this situation UNLESS they sit me between the Better Business Bureau and Google at the award dinner, both award winners as well. (For those of you that don’t recall, I have offered up criticisms of both over time and I once even managed to criticize both in the same post <\/a>\ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n

Thanks again!
