Biz Skool Business Plan Competitions

So there are two business plan competitions--One at MICA and the other at IIT-Mumbai.
The deadline for MICA's is 28th and for the other is 1st October. I've decided to submit a BP to both but the best part is I havent gotten down to writing one.I've already got enough work to do with changing the front page,finish writing the content for the site, put up a "About Us" page ASAP since the place I am going to advertise is waiting for my moolah and I'd rather have the new content up before going live.
I should mention that the plan I am going with for the Biz Skool is not the idea on which this blog is based :-). I've decided to keep that to myself and go with the other. For the other, I even ran a survey on Surveymonkey but I dont need it yet. What I really liked about that survey was that in filled in a very short time.

Ok enough rambling.

Over the past few weeks, as my site builder got busy and vanished completely, I realised I had to start learning sooner or later how to do what I wanted done to the site. So I did! I fixed the links, I got the Social Media tags working and I started writing more for content(Ok, so the onus of writing content for the site was always on me but :-P ). Plus, I found a new place to advertise and they were more than happy to knock $25 off their set-up fee if only I'd link to their site. Done!! :-D

Also new is my job hunt. I've grown tired of working at the same place, where I realise what I considered important was not considered important by the management(I was drawing on my experience as an entrepreneur and failed online marketeer) so they preferred to continue fixing the Online Leave Management System for the office and I continued to push to optimise the company's product website
Not to mention we had no perks, pay was lousy, and motivation at an all time low. Really, going there to work was a drag and hopefully I'll get out of there soon. I'm talking to somebody for a job and really, if that comes through there's a lot I can now pursue so am really praying for that!

I forgot to mention that I have a somebody who's paid up but hasnt utilised the service available to her.I think I'll be waiting for a few days before writing to her :-)
