To Provide Enhanced Resources and Support Network for
the Small Business and Emerging Growth Market
Small Business Gets Big Boost as Nation's First 24-Hour Entrepreneurial Support Community Secures Sponsorship by World's Most Widely Used Internet Email Solution
NEW YORK, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Let's Talk Business Network, Inc.(TM) (LTBN), the nation's first 24-hour entrepreneurial support community, today announced that it has secured sponsorship by QUALCOMM's Eudora(R) division. With 18 million users, the Eudora family of software products is the world's most widely used Internet email solution. QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) is a leader in wireless communications and advanced electronic messaging solutions for the Internet.
"This partnership between two industry leaders brings enhanced resources to the nation's 62 million small business owners representing the fastest growing business segment in the U.S.," stated LTBN founding principal and Webmaster Christian Winter. "LTBN and Eudora email provide a perfect kinship of business communications and entrepreneurial support as the small business and emerging growth market learns to make the most of today's exciting new technology tools."
LTBN -- home of business audio "pearls of wisdom" on the Internet at (http://www.ltbn.com/library.html) -- boasts the only nationally syndicated radio show focused exclusively on the issues facing today's entrepreneur. Heard in markets across the country as well as "live" on the web through AudioNet (http://www.audionet.com), the show has featured many of today's entrepreneurial visionaries, including Bud Hadfield (Kwick Kopy), Wally Amos (Famous Amos Cookies), and Fred DeLuca (Subway Sandwiches), as well other thought leaders on issues affecting the small business and emerging growth market.
"We are delighted with the opportunity to sponsor LTBN's initiative to support the burgeoning small business market," stated Ed Knowlton, sr. manager of Marketing Communications of QUALCOMM's Eudora division. "Eudora email is an effective technology tool for helping entrepreneurs and small business owners enhance their productivity, and LTBN's strong audience increases our reach into this rapidly growing market."
LTBN was founded as the crucial interactive support component to Let's Talk Business Radio, the voice of entrepreneurship. LTBN supports entrepreneurs through its "Mastermind" networking meetings, one of a kind website, "Ultimate Mastermind" newsletter, radio talk show, toll free phone services and much more. LTBN provides both a unique means and environment for business owners and entrepreneurs to work together toward the common goal of succeeding in business. By developing trust and receiving guidance from other kindred spirits who are there with them and have been in their shoes, the home-based and small business market has an invaluable personal support network.
The "Mastermind" theory at the heart of LTBN, holds that the thinking of the group is more powerful than the thoughts of the individual. The Mastermind concept developed by Napoleon Hill applies the same to entrepreneurs of today as it did to industrialists of the 1800's and early 1900's. Corporations call it "best practices". Recent books such as Co-Optition herald the value of partnerships and working for a common cause. LTBN makes working smarter instead of working harder a reality for entrepreneurs. Mastermind work groups are incorporated into the business building workshops.
QUALCOMM's award-winning Eudora family of software products is available for the Windows(R), Macintosh(R) and Newton(R) platforms.
