Say it ain't so! :-)

Gutted to hear you'll be discontinuing the SMB Conference Calls - with all sincerity, I can't tell you how much those calls have contributed to me as a business owner growing my business through the advice you've given and the introductions you've made.

If you never do another Conference Call, the back-catalogue of calls should be required listening for anybody in the SMB Community looking to grow their business.

But let's hope you can find the time and energy to keep the concept alive in some way. :-)

For all those hours you've spent helping peers like myself, many thanks Karl!

Will also be sorry to see the end of the Conf Calls, possible that a monthly show might draw even more listeners though.

As others have said your thoughts are very gratefully received and always thought provoking. I've lost count of the amount of times your blog has kicked me into action on all aspects of my business.

Your blog and books on their own are a fantastic contribution to the community, anything above that is a big bonus.

Karl - thanks for all you've done and continue to do for the community. I'm sad to see the SMB Conference Call go, but understand that all things need to evolve. I'm certain there will be a deeper void felt for all those who have enjoyed it but never participated, commented, blogged, etc. on it (remember that Poison song "Don't know what you've got 'till it's gone).

Anyway, I know you'll come up with something equally beneficial to the community, and I look forward to taking part in it.

I will be sad to see the SMB Conference calls go. I love listening to them and do my best to get the live shows when I can.. I do however fully understand why you are pulling them..

Perhaps we can find some volunteers (on this side of the pond) to take them over :-)

Thanks for all you have done for the community Karl, its great to have a guy like you on our side.

"Just shut up and stop pushing my views on the rest of the SMB/MSP community. Hmmmmm."

I deplore that idea! I get more help information between the blah,blah,blah comments in your blog than I do in a dozen other blogs that I check.

No, keep your opinions (insights is a better word) coming. They are a lifeline for many of us.

We are not going to be asking any more non-Shockey-Monkey subscribers to listen to our show. It's your choice not to be a Shockey Monkey subscriber but you just won't get the full value of the SPAM Show. We'll still ask you for your money and parade you to vendors and all, but you just have to ask yourself if it's worth it.

What's actually happening is that The SPAM Show is entering into a strategic agreement with SMB Conference Call. We feel it's in the best interest of our common listeners to have a choice, and it is a choice, whether to listen to our show or go play outside in the dirt.

While we still want you to tune into the SMB Conference Call, you have to ask yourself if you will receive full value of it even when it's not broadcasting anything.

Sounds familiar :)
