Small Business Stimulus Package

I think small businesses need all the help they can get when first starting out. I was recently contacted by the owner of MoneySmartLife.com and asked if I would run his "small business stimulus package" contest on my blog (Empowering Mom)

After finding out what the idea of the package was I thought not only would I throw a link his way to help people find out about it, but that I would become a sponsor of his package, because it's a really nice idea.

Prizes range from a $250 cash prize and a business action plan (sure, not a lot but it's enough to start a website, newsletter or join an annual subscription to something you've been wanting to do but haven't had the extra money, right?) to promotion of a blog to graphic design services.

If you don't already have a small business up and running, but have had an idea for one you've been wanting to start - this might help you take action. Personally, I think the business action plan portion of this package is the best option. You'll get to discuss your ideas and business with the 1500+ regular readers of Money Smart Life, and probably gain a lot of support from people who have been where you want to be.

If this is something that interests you, you can get your application for the Small Business Stimulus Package on Empowering Mom.
