That said, you only have three days to make submissions to Intuit’s ‘Just Start’ contest.  Per the Just Start web site:

Enter the contest, it’s easy. Tell us what you’ll Just Start. Fact, fiction or fantasy. What have you always dreamed of doing? What are you resigning from and moving towards? And, how will the Just Start grant ($50k) help you strike out on your own?

Hey, I’ll take $40,000 in cash and $10,000 in assistance to get a business off the ground. Oh, who am I kidding, I’ll take the $5,000 prize too. I’m not picky! While winning is likely a long shot, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and made four of my own submissions.

• Fantasy Camp and Adventure Planning

• Going to the Dogs

• Connecting with the Elderly

• Solutions for Seniors

For anyone that is interested, you can click on the above links to find out more about each submission. If you are feeling extra generous, you can go ahead and signup, rate my submissions and even comment on them. The evaluation of entries is being conducted by a panel of three judges and the five finalists will be announced on January 7th.

Whatever the outcome, it was a fun exercise. You have until December 15th (11:59:59 p.m. PT) to make your own submissions, so get going! Oh, and read the rules.
