NEW YORK, Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Relay, the official banking platform for Profit First, invites small business owners to share the why behind their entrepreneurial drive and enter the Reasons To Be Profitable Contest for a chance at $100,000 in cash prizes.
No matter where you are in your business journey, Relay wants to hear from you. The Reasons To Be Profitable contest will reward entrepreneurs for sharing the motivations behind building lasting, profitable businesses. The contest will be hosted by Mike Michalowicz, Author of Profit First, and adjudicated by him and a panel of four more judges.
"This contest gets to the core of building a permanently profitable business: the impact that you can create not just in your life, but for your employees and your community. Small business isn't the backbone of the economy, small business IS the economy. I'm excited to reward entrepreneurs who are committed to building a permanently profitable business. Their success impacts us all," said Mike Michalowicz.
Prizes are designed to help winners get closer to achieving their goals—whether that be business growth, financial freedom, or community impact.
