Got a dream?
The folks at the Munir Abdul Lalani Center for Entrepreneurship and Free Enterprise in the Dillard College of Business Administration at Midwestern State University, along with the support of the city’s business sector, have come up with a plan — i.d.e.a.wf (imagine/design/engage/act) — to help someone achieve his or her dream of starting his or her own business. The competition is open to anyone, anywhere, who wants to start a business, or even expand an existing business in Wichita Falls. To be eligible, the entrepreneur must agree to be located in Wichita Falls for at least three years. Also, the business must project that more than 75 percent of its revenue will come from outside of Wichita, Archer, and Clay counties, and that it must create at least five new jobs. The first-place winner will receive $5,000 in cash and $15,000 in in-kind services, such as legal, accounting, marketing, and Web design. For a complete story, click on http://news.mwsu.edu/dream.
