Doing the Happy Dance


Today is a very happy and exciting day for me.  Naturally Me is a finalist in a contest sponsored by Office 365.  ThiToday is a very happy and exciting day for me.  Naturally Me is a finalist in a contest sponsored by Office 365.  This contest is huge.  We beat out over 400 contestants and made it to the top 10.  We've already received Office 365 for a year for up to 25 users and a Kodak video camera.  5 of the finalists will receive $25,000 in cash, $25,000 in advertising dollars and a day with a Microsoft Executive (can you say "HUGE").

I am sooooooo excited that I can hardly work.  I have been smiling ear to ear every since I found out.  Winning this contest would be a dream come true.  It will not only allow Naturally Me to grow, it will allow us to finally bring on part-time staff.  I will finally be able to get more than 4 hours of sleep a night :-).

As an entrepreneur, we are usually limited on the amount of money available to grow our business.  There are hundreds of contests available to entrepreneurs.  That’s money that you don’t have to pay back.  Now you know Uncle Sam will have his hand out in April wanting his portion.  

I know a lot of us don't apply because we feel that we would never win.  If I had taken on that frame of mind, I wouldn't have made it to the finals.  It takes less than 30 minutes to apply for most of these contests.  Don't let opportunities slip through your hands because you feel that "I will never win".

Apply for as many contests as possible so that you can make your dream become a reality quicker.  Please take a moment to vote for us. https://www.facebook.com/office365?sk=app_177440328974903.  You have a chance to win a Samsung Notebook just for voting.

Have a super fantabulous day.
