Jeff Husacker of The Freestyle Entrepreneur takes home the prize!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had one final entry before the deadline on Monday from <strong>Service Untitled</strong> titled <a href="http://www.serviceuntitled.com/seth-godin-on-customer-service/2007/02/23/">Seth Godin on Customer Service</a>. That brings the total to 6. The other 5 can be found <a href="http://startupspark.com/5-entries-in-the-business-book-contest/">here</a>.</p>
<p>With such a few number of entries each person had great odds for winning.</p>
<p>I used a random number generator to pick the winner&#8230;drumroll please&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Jeff Husacker</strong> of <a href="http://www.thefreestyleentrepreneur.com">The Freestyle Entrepreneur</a> takes home the prize!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be sending Jeff a copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FEntrepreneurial-Imperative-Americas-Economic-Miracle%2Fdp%2F006084163X%2Fsr%3D8-1%2Fqid%3D1172585374%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks&#038;tag=whereisbasi05-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325">The Entrepreneurial Imperative</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=whereisbasi05-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> by Carl J. Schramm along with a <strong>$25 gift certificate from Amazon.com</strong>.</p>
<p>Jeff&#8217;s muse for his article <a href="http://www.thefreestyleentrepreneur.com/blog/2006/12/forbes_head_to_.html">Forbes: Head To Head: U.S. Congress’ Small Biz Agenda</a> was <strong>Maureen Farrell</strong> at Forbes.com. I&#8217;ll be sending Maureen a copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FChocolates-Pillow-Arent-Enough-Reinventing%2Fdp%2F0470043555%2Fsr%3D8-1%2Fqid%3D1172585492%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks&#038;tag=whereisbasi05-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325">Chocolates on the Pillow Aren&#8217;t Enough</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=whereisbasi05-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> by Jonathan M. Tisch and a 2nd <strong>$25 gift certificate to Amazon.com</strong>.</p>
<p>The outcome was disappointing &#8211; I expected a lot more submissions since it&#8217;s so common for people to find something interesting online and blog about it. Maybe it was the prizes, or the short timespan and the lack of pre-promotion I did for it. Ah&#8230;lessons learned.</p>
<p>In the meantime John and Maureen get a couple of interesting books and some money to spend at Amazon and the rest of us were treated to a handful of interesting, entrepreneurial stories.</p>
<p>You can expect more contests in the future &#8211; but any feedback is always appreciated as well!</p>
