Dear Jim,
Congratulations on the 10 year anniversary of your nationally syndicated radio program....
The Small Business Advocate is Jim's baby, and has been a great resource for current and future business owners all across the world.
In Jim's weekly newsletter, here is what he said about his milestone:

10 Years of The Small Business Advocate Show
On November 17, 1997, I began broadcasting the Small Business Advocate Show for two hours Monday through Friday, and since that first day the program has been nationally syndicated. This week we will begin the celebration of our tenth anniversary and the beginning of our 11th year on the air.
In January 1998, we began simulcasting our show on the Internet, which makes us one of the pioneers of Internet steaming. Since 1999, we've offered multiple on-demand streaming options and in 20o7 added the ability to podcast all current and archived interviews.
This Friday will be my 2,600t broadcast since we began -- including all the holidays -- even when I was on the road. I've conducted just over 10,000 live interviews with small business experts and entrepreneurs and next week I'll broadcast my 11th consecutive live Thanksgiving Day show. When you hear me talking about making sure that you're passionate about the business you start, if you didn't already, now you know that I practice what I preach.
From the beginning, my primary programming goal was to focus on the fundamentals that are important to successfully starting, operating and growing a small business, and to make all of the things we do available to you for free. On that last note -- the free one -- I must say thanks to our outstanding corporate partners, without whom the free part would not be possible. We're going into our 9th year with Palo Alto Software, our 8th year with IBM, our 4th year with Administaff, and our 3rd year with Aflac.
Jim has been a wonderful supporter of mine, and invited me to be a member of his exclusive "Brain Trust." The Brain Trust is a group of small business experts who contribute their time and expertise to Jim's radio program. On The Small Business Advocate website, the entire Brain Trust is listed, along with their archived radio interviews with Jim. Here are my radio interviews with Jim. A podcast version is available there too.
Here's to 10 more, Jim!
As you know, the words you typically read in this space are very rarely self-referential.
But
if you will permit me, today I would like to talk about a couple of
milestones, and a few accomplishments, of which we're kind of proud.On November 17, 1997, I began broadcasting the Small Business Advocate Show for two hours Monday through Friday, and since that first day the program has been nationally syndicated.
