In every market where SmallBusinessSchool is on the air, we will initiate collaboration events after each local broadcast where a local small business advocate reviews the key ideas within the Case Study Guide with the people who gather online. The weekly half-hour broadcast will be followed by a half hour local review to address the question, "How do we apply these ideas here?"

With an hour block, each advocacy group could begin pushing their memberships to tune in. That would push the ratings like nobody has ever seen on public television.

Our motivation. A simple motivation is that we want viewers. However, we have discussed deeper motivations thoroughly on the web.

These are the primary documents:
1. A mission statement guides all activites.
2. Four open letters to our viewers
3. The vision statement brings this show into the future
4. The diversity of small business owners is as great as anywhere
5. There are several online and "on-the-air" schools

Every business has a story and this one does as well.l

There are, however, many other motivations. As a people, we spend too much of our life, time and money looking for new heroes within our culture when they are right in our midst. One of our goals is to have people recognize the heroes in their community, their neighborhood, and their home, and even when they look into the mirror. Many people have compelling stories and they should be lifted up as one of the MasterClass teachers of our culture. As a culture, we need to encourage all people to be "today's pioneers and quiet heroes."

If there are many more local episodes, we can then begin looking through all this local content and find the best stories to lift up within the national and international syndications of the series.

The key evocative question: What is possible? With whom might we discuss these pages, and dream dreams about a kinder, gentler world, nation, and people?

These are our Goals for 2007 - 2008.
