I wanted to share information about a cool contest that I received recently via press release.

Business consulting firm RSM McGladrey is holding an essay contest.  The prize?  The winner gets to hang out with LPGA Tour star Natalie Gulbis for a day.

Here’s a blurb from the release:

RSM McGladrey, a leading provider of accounting, tax and business consulting services, announces its “Who’s Behind Your Success?” nationwide essay contest, featuring LPGA star and Team McGladrey member Natalie Gulbis. Inspired in part by Gulbis’ own personal essay about her father, the “Who’s Behind Your Success?” contest launches June 24 and culminates with a grand prize package that consists of one lucky participant and a guest spending a day with Gulbis in her hometown of Las Vegas, including a morning workout and nine holes of golf, followed by a dinner with Natalie.

Could it get any easier?  Write 200 words, and get to hang out with Natalie Gulbis?  Get your keyboard cranking!

Click here to visit the contest website for all the rules and to submit your entry.  Entries will be accepted until August 4, 2008.

I think it’s a really cool contest idea.  Too often, we don’t recognize the people responsible for our successes in life.  Without a solid support network, many of us would not be where we are today.

On the website, you can read Natalie’s own essay about who is most responsible for her success.  If you’ve ever watched her show on The Golf Channel, then you probably guessed that her dad is at the top of her list.

You can access Natalie’s essay from the main contest page.  I found it very inspiring.  Not only was her dad dedicated to helping her achieve her dreams from the beginning, but he taught her the lessons about keeping things in perspective and cherishing life that helped her grow into adulthood with a positive attitude and an appreciation for where she is and how she got there.

Natalie Gulbis seems like a really cool person and I’m sure the winner will enjoy what sounds like a great day.  Put on your writing cap and tell RSM McGladrey in 200 words or less who is most responsible for your success, and you have a chance to win.

Once again, click here for the contest.  Good luck, and if anyone wants to share their essay here, feel free.  I’d love to hear who is behind your success.
