UPDATE! December 13th, 2014 - Have opened Reddit AMA in support of this campaign, go ahead, ask me anything!
For Every Door That Closes, Another Opens?
Well, I didn't win a nü Icon scholarship like I had hoped. But, I did get an amazing amount of positive feedback about my scholarship contest entry and a great boost of positive energy from just having followed through on something I really wanted to do.
Something else I've always wanted to do is run a successful crowd-source campaign and since there is still a chance that crowd-sourcing can save the day I decided to put my money where my mouth is.
The great news is that the nu Icon program is currently available at a contest sale price of $5997.
I'd also really like to see Laura Hollick's notes on my entry, but the only way to do that is by paying for the tuition! For tonight I would need only the first month's payment of $597 and then the whole $5997 by December 17th.

BRAND NEW PERK!
I put this collage (illustrating my life and entrepreneurial career) together at the very last moment. It took about 3 hours altogether. I didn't know what I was going to do before I started and then all of a sudden the ideas just started coming to me.
The thing I learned most from creating this reflection of myself is not only am I one handsome devil, but I also have a great story to go with each picture.
For a donation of $5 I will write and publish a short story based on one of the pictures that make up the Diary of a Chainman collage. In order to finish on time my limit was about 100 photos, so I'm limiting this perk to the 101 stories.
Each story will be posted publicly on Diary of a Chainman as I have time to write it and like a tasty burger is first come, first serve.
