Soap Opera Radio Contest

Are you a fan of the soap opera, Days of Our Lives?  If so, which character is your favorite? 

I have been given the opportunity to interview one of the actors from the long-running soap opera, Days of Our Lives. If you are, here’s your chance to be a part of the upcoming show, The Boomer Beat, on WCOM Radio. 

Please let me know who you would be interested in hearing on my radio show and what question(s) you would ask.  If that actor (or actress) is chosen, I will read YOUR questions(s) on the air and identify you as the person who asked the question.  If more than one person chooses the same actor/actress, I will read their question(s) as well.

The Days cast members are  promoting the iconic soap opera’s 45th anniversary and accompanying book, “Days of our Lives 45 Years: A Celebration in Photos.”  Days has the distinction of dedicating many of its storylines to a mature audience and focusing on characters who are grandparents, matriarchs and patriarchs, and who have been on the show since or near the beginning, including John Aniston, Louise Sorel, Suzanne Rogers, Peggy McCay, Joseph Mascolo, and real-life couple Susan and Bill Hayes.

The deadline for submission is Friday, Feb. 18 at 5pm.  Feel free to post your responses here or you can send your suggestion to:  beverly@talk2bev.com.   The listener will be invited to the station to ask their questions on their air.  If you can’t make it, I will read your questions during the interview and identify you as the person who asked the questions.  You will also receive an autographed copy of the newly released book, “Days of our Lives 45 Years: A Celebration in Photos.”

The winner will be notified by email.

We'll be picking one luckybusiness every month between October and March 2011. We'll also bepicking one 2nd place winners every month and FREE Tax Review servicesand discounted bookkeeping services available to everyone just forentering!

You Owe It to Your Business to Enter!

In late 2002, I received a phone call from someone saying they wanted to nominate me as one of the US Small Business Administration's Home-Based Business Advocate of the Year. I had only been leading the Indie Beauty Network for two years at the time, and I wondered why anyone would consider me a worthy candidate for an award. I answered her questions and submitted a package of information by the deadline. A few months later, I was walking (really, waddling since I was several months pregnant at the time) across a stage accepting the award for the SBA Washington, DC office Home-Based Business Advocate of the Year.

Working_at_computer

Through that experience, I learned that, no matter how unqualified you think you may be for an award or honor, you have nothing to lose by applying for it anyway and putting your best foot forward. In fact, one could say you owe it to your business to give it your best shot. And like they say, there's no time like the present, right?

So, here's your chance. StartupNation is now accepting nominations for their annual Home-Based 100 Competition. Why don't you enter??! There are 10 categories:

You must submit nominations and votes by midnight on September 30. I know tons of great Indie Business owners out there working from home, and so many of you qualify to win this competition. So why not enter today??!

And if you've already entered, please let us know in the comment section below so we can check out your entry and perhaps vote for you!
