Only a few days to go now - entries close October 15th. We’re getting some great entries through our website, now. For example, this one from Nicholas Shugg: I would like to set up a web-site showing videos that I have made starring myself, my brother and sister and friends. I want to be a movie maker when I grow up.

The entries are starting to come in through the Cash-Smart Kids website - great work, everyone, keep them coming! Three weeks until the competition closes … Describe your business or business idea, and submit your entry to us.

On the subject of lining one’s own pockets under the pretense of helping needy kids: The Las Vegas Sun reports that Willa Chaney, a candidate for the State Board of Education, owes the Nevada Education Department more than half a million bucks for funds she misused while running a program to provide aid to needy students.

We’re into the final stretch now for the Cash-Smart Kids competition. Now is the time to turn those good intentions into entries! Describe your business or business idea, and submit your entry to us. You can post a 2-minute video to YouTube, tagged “cash-smart kids”, or make a Hub on HubPages, tagged “cash-smart kids”, or you can submit text and a photo at the Cash-Smart Kids website.

Hi all, My apologies again - I still have a house full of sick people! However, life must go on … A number of people have told me that they are having trouble making videos and Hubs at HubPages, and that is why their entries are still not in.

Sorry this post is so late - I came home to house full of sick people! A better update next week, I promise … But for now, I am still waiting on some promised entries, and hopefully will have some Renegade CEO stories for you soon.

I’m back from a lovely relaxing tour of the Swedish country. It’s just like the picture books. Honestly, every single farmhouse is painted red-brown, with clean white eaves. Apparently, the government owns everything and tells people what colors they are allowed to paint their houses.

I’m still in Stockholm, with my work commitments over, and I am about to do some touring around the Swedish countryside. I must admit I overindulged a little in the food department this week - it’s incredible what the Swedes can do with cheese! Basically, cheese and crackers makes up the foundation of both breakfast and lunch in Sweden, along with a bit of caviar.

I am writing this post from sunny Stockholm - well, actually, Stockholm in summer isn’t necessarily sunny. The locals claim that there are three weeks of summer, spread across May, June, July, and August. The other 80% of the time it is overcast and cool, and often misting with light rain.

It’s a rushed week this week, as I am preparing to go overseas this weekend. I’ll be flying to Stockholm to speak at a conference, and then on to Washington to attend another conference. In Washington, I’ll be catching up with Shonika Proctor, who is coaching those remarkable business kids from very underprivileged backgrounds.
