Will I Be the First Elevator Pitch Idol?

If you're willing to get out there and vote for me, it's possible! :) So, I discovered yesterday, as I mentioned, that my little radio appearance, which I've also learned wasn't live (this may be helpful next time I do this), was an entry into an American Idol-like contest....which means that although the judges have a say in the final outcome, you can make a big difference as far as my chances for winning!

The original airing of my first attempt will occur on August 12 at 7p.m. EST/4p.m. PST (I'm going to guess those of you in the central and mountain time zones are good with math and can figure out when it's on in your neck of the woods!). You can listen to it via live feed or via the radio by finding a station close to you or if you can't make either of those work, you can listen to it via a previously recorded thing here beginning Monday, August 14. Now here's the deal, though - whatever way you listen, you have to help me out by going to www.startupnation.com and signing up to be a community member so you can vote for me prior to August 20 so I make it to the next round!

What's in it for you, you say? Well, first the warm fuzzies that come from helping me out. :) Second, if you've ever thought of starting your own business or even have one now, you'll gain access to a wealth of information on a variety of business related topics (this site has been great for me while starting up my little ol' business!). Third, you'll have my undying gratitude.

I'm not exactly sure what the prize is for this contest yet, but the added exposure being on the show can have for my business is priceless. :) Hope you all have a great weekend!
