Fun ‘freedom’ Contest
June 25th, 2009With Independence Day (July 4th) right around the corner - I had a brainstorm last night to give something fun a try.
So here goes…
I’m opening up a video contest all about ‘freedom’….
Personally, I believe the single biggest reason when you boil it all down for entrepreneurs to start anything is that word ‘Freedom’. Financial freedom, entrepreneurial freedom or whatever freedom you want.
So I’d like you to SHOW what FREEDOM means to you!
I’ll mention the cool prizes in a minute but for now here are the simple rules. Or as Secret Agent Oso on the Disney channel says there are “3 Special Steps” to be part of this. (Umm…If you don’t get that reference that means you don’t have pre-school kids) 
Step 1: Create a 3-minute video (max) about what freedom means to you and incorporate a creative mention of MaverickBusinessInsider.com in some way shape or form.
Step 2: Upload the video to YouTube.com and include one of these 4 title choices:
- “Freedom - What it Means to me” or
- “Financial Freedom - What it means to me” or
- “Independence - What it means to me” or
- “Entrepreneurship - The Ultimate Freedom”
Step 3: Email the link in to support@maverickbusinessinsider with the subject line ‘freedom contest’
That’s it.
We got a short fuse on this sucker because I want to get the top videos together for Independence day. So your deadline
is Monday, 6/29 @ 12pm (EST) I repeat the deadline is Monday, June 29th at 12 noon EST.
