Watch any news program or pick up any major newspaper and there will be another story about the slumping North American economy. Big names in business and investing are chiming in with predictions and ideas about how to boost the economy. Super investor Warren Buffett said that the economy could go into a recession if unemployment picks up significantly. Donald Trump's prediction is much more dire. He said, "I hope I'm wrong, but I think we may be facing an economic crash like we've never seen before-probably sooner rather than later."


Author and business mentor Glenn Dietzel believes that the best ideas for boosting the economy will come not from big names or big government, but from the average person.


He has created the Trump the Donald Contest, in which ten winners will receive a notebook computer and have their idea published in a book that will be published later this year by a major New York publisher.


Entrants will follow the system Dietzel laid out in his book Author and Grow Rich to create a table of contents and one chapter of the book they would write outlining their solution.


Judging will be done by a panel of experts including economists and businesspeople, Glenn's team at Awakened, LLC, and by popular vote. Winners must excel in five criteria, including economic soundness and likelihood of implementation of the idea. To submit ideas, entrants should visit http://www.trumpthedonaldcontest.com/ for details and to enter.
