A Real Challenge. http://blog.grokmedia.com/2009/01/16/a-challenge-a-real-challenge/ http://blog.grokmedia.com/2009/01/16/a-challenge-a-real-challenge/#comments Fri, 16 Jan 2009 17:36:22 +0000 admin http://blog.grokmedia.com/?p=316 Sorry I’ve been a bit distant of late…I’ve been working (feverishly) on wrapping up the crafting of a business plan for the Amarillo EnterPrize Challenge. It’s a yearly contest to find – and fund – a number of worthy entrepreneurs’ ideas. I have one (www.guitarfurniture.com) that’s in the running. The winners will be announced in late March.

This is a big honkin’ deal, people…the winners will receive a check for $75,000. (!) If my idea is selected, it means that I could, in one fell swoop (or one swell foop) get enough funding to launch our products, and not have to go out and get a loan or shill for angel funding. That’s HUGE. So I hope you’ll forgive me if I’ve been a little lax in posting to the ol’ blogs.

The contest deadline is Monday at 5PM, so bear with me, please.
