Looking for an incentive to get your personal finances in order? Black Enterprise is hosting a Financial Fitness Contest, through which a lucky applicant will be awarded $2,000 to help start or build his portfolio and a one hour personal consultation with a certified financial planner -- plus, the story of the winner's financial improvements will be published in Black Enterprise.Now let's be clear - this is not a simple sweepstakes where you just enter your name and email address. It is going to take some time to fully analyze your assets, liabilities, financial goals and financial challenges in order to make the most of the $2,000 prize. To fully understand your personal finance situation, you will need to envision the individual challenges that you face and your goals for financial empowerment.
