$50,000 Contest from Intuit for starting a business

[Blaine Moore]

Pledge to quit your job and start a business, and Intuit might give you $40,000 cash and $10,000 in services and consulting fees (or a $5000 second prize). You just record a video of how you would quit your job, start your own company, and what you would do to make money through it. They will judge the entries and award the three prizes.

Sounds like a great opportunity for people in Blog MasterMind as you already have the business idea or you wouldn't be here in the first place! Entries are due by December 15.
