It wasn’t long ago I was announcing that Yvonne Russell’s SmallBizMentor.com was chosen as a Best Small Business Blog by AmericasBestCompanies.com, and now, in a rare feat of one-upping herself, Yvonne has landed a spot on yet another prestigious list – the 41 Absolute Best Blogs about Entrepreneurship and Small Business, compiled by Ben Jones at Ben-Means-Business.com.

Regarding the 41 Absolute Best Blogs, Jones says “I have decided to create what I like to think of as ‘The A-List’ of entrepreneurship and small business blogs. The blogs listed in ‘The List’ are solely there on the basis of their knowledge and content… for the most part the 'must-reads' are all there.” And regarding SmallBizMentor.com in particular, Jones remarks, “Clever topics, tons of information.”

I couldn’t agree more. It is an honor and a great accomplishment to be included on this list, especially in the company of such successful and notable business bloggers as Seth Godin, Guy Kawasaki, and others. Congratulations to Yvonne Russell for creating and maintaining such an excellent blog on small business; we’re very proud!
