Anyone who has read this blog for awhile will recognize this face:

Drew Jones is one of my best friends, and his whole family has appeared on this blog many many times (here, here, here, here, here, here, and here).

Drew is also a fellow small business owner, so he’s one of my only friends who truly understand what my life is like sometimes. Starting a business – especially in your mid-20’s – is an overwhelming thing. The vast majority (I think something like 80%) of small businesses fail within the first 3-5 years, and to really make it, it requires a deep passion for what you do and fantastic business sense, and my buddy Drew has both of those things in spades. His custom tailored suit collection has been a huge hit in Texas, and he’s working on a new invention that will help guys be able to take more accurate measurements so that their suits will be the perfect fit, every time. I’m really proud of him and everything he has accomplished, so when I heard that he was a semifinalist for the Inc.com Newpreneur of the Year award, I knew I had to do something to help him win. First and foremost, Drew and I got together to create a promotional video for his business:

Now, I’m asking you for your help. From now until November 5th, you can vote once a day for Drew, to help him make it into the Top 5. You don’t have to log in or register or anything – you literally select his name, click “Submit Votes,” and that’s it. It takes less than five seconds, and it would mean a whole lot to me. If Drew wins, he will get $100,000 in business grants to help him expand his business, and some great press for his great company. So please, take a little time each morning for the next week, and vote!!
