A Mamalode contest! Mamalode loves Montana Community Development Corp (MCDC) and we want you to know about them.
MCDC partners with people and communities that want to prosper, providing innovative financing and business development products that create income opportunities for all members of our community.
They provide business consulting, loans and training.
Mamalode has used this service and can honestly say we would not be in business without them or their FastTrac® GrowthVentureTM course designed by the Kauffman Foundation.
This course is for entrepreneurs who have experience running their businesses and want to learn ways to improve performance and plan for strategic growth. During the course participants learn practical skills to:
- Analyze your business and understand the market
- Streamline operations
- Understand the best ways to access the resources you need to succeed
- Build and maintain competitive advantage
- Plan for strategic and sustainable growth
Well, Mamalode loved this course so much, we bought a spot in the next session for ONE OF YOU!
Yep, there is a slot waiting for one of you business-owning moms. The winner also will receive a ¼ page ad in the summer issue of Mamalode Magazine and $150 in online advertising on www.mamalode.com. TOTAL PRIZE VALUE is $1100.
How to enter:
Send us an essay. Up to 250 words about you, 250 words about your business history, 250 words about your business currently, 250 words about your goals and vision. Total submission cannot exceed 1000 words, and by all means if you can say it succinctly, please do.
We want to know what makes your business special and why it is in a great position to receive this award.
We will review and pick three finalists. At that point we will open up online voting and let Mamalode readers pick the winner. Finalists will be asked to submit a picture or video.
The winner must commit to attending the ten-week course on Wed evenings from 6-9 pm (includes dinner.) Course runs from mid-January to mid-March.
