Who is a business owner in Oklahoma who was considered to have fallen to the Heisman curse?
White is currently a business owner in Oklahoma.
Title: Absentee business owner
Passage: An absentee business owner is one who does not personally manage the business he owns, or who does not live in the community in which the business operates.  Studies show that money spent locally re-circulates in the community three times as much as it does when it is spent with an absentee-owned business.  Local currency has been implemented in some communities as a countermeasure to this effect.  Neighborhood investment, in which members of the community are given opportunities to become partial owners of new developments, is another method.  In Brazil, studies found that more than a third of the profits generated from tourism were exported to absentee business owners.  In Vietnam, the economic expansion of the 1990s was associated with a rise in absentee business owners.  There has also been concern that tourism profits in southern Africa go to absentee business owners.
Title: Solo 401(k)
Passage: A Solo 401(k), (also known as a Self Employed 401(k) or Individual 401(k)), is a 401(k) qualified retirement plan for Americans that was designed specifically for employers with no full-time employees other than the business owner(s) and their spouse(s).  The general 401(k) plan gives employees an incentive to save for retirement by allowing them to designate funds as 401(k) funds and thus not have to pay taxes on them until the employee reaches retirement age.  In this plan, both the employee and his/her employer may make contributions to the plan.  The Solo 401(k) is unique because it only covers the business owner(s) and their spouse(s), thus, not subjecting the 401(k) plan to the complex ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) rules, which sets minimum standards for employer pension plans with non-owner employees.  Self-employed workers who qualify for the Solo 401(k) can receive the same tax benefits as in a general 401(k) plan, but without the employer being subject to the complexities of ERISA.
Title: Terry Neese
Passage: Terry Neese is an entrepreneur, public policy strategist, women's equality advocate, and award-winning small business owner.  She has been a mentor to women nationally and globally in their careers and political involvement.  Neese has created several non-profit organizations and businesses, and has been involved with state and federal legislation.  In 1990, Neese was the first woman nominated by a major political party for lieutenant governor of Oklahoma.  Neese has spent time in Afghanistan mentoring the women there and advocating for their right to equality in both business and political spheres.  She is also a wife, mother, licensed pilot, and a member of the Ninety-Nines.
Title: Heisman curse
Passage: The Heisman curse is a term coined to reference a two-part assertion of a negative future for the winning player of the Heisman Trophy.  The "curse" supposes that any college football player who wins the Heisman plays on a team that will likely lose its subsequent bowl game.  The trend of post-award failure has garnered the attention of the mainstream media.  Talk of a curse in relation to bowl results was particularly prevalent from 2003 to 2008, when six Heisman Trophy winners compiled a cumulative 1–5 bowl game record, and five of those six led number one ranked teams into the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) National Championship Game as favorites (Heisman Trophy winners, including Reggie Bush, who gave back his Heisman Trophy, are 4–8 overall in the BCS National Championship Game and College Football Playoff National Championship, although prior to 2009 they were 1–6).  Additionally, the Heisman curse asserts that in most cases a Heisman winner will have either a poor career in the National Football League (NFL), or in fact not even see such a football career at all.  Although many Heisman winners have not enjoyed success at the professional level, including players like Matt Leinart, Andre Ware, Jason White, Rashaan Salaam, Eric Crouch, Ty Detmer, Troy Smith and Gino Torretta, proponents of the "curse" rarely cite highly successful players such as Barry Sanders, Charles Woodson, Eddie George, Tim Brown, Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen, Earl Campbell, and Tony Dorsett among the notables.
Title: Home business
Passage: A home business (or "home-based business" or "HBB") is a small business that operates from the business owner's home office.  In addition to location, home businesses are usually defined by having a very small number of employees, usually all immediate family of the business owner, in which case it is also a family business.  Home businesses generally lack shop frontage, customer parking and street advertising signs.  Such businesses are sometimes prohibited by residential zoning regulations.
Title: Curse
Passage: A curse (also called an imprecation, malediction, execration, malison, anathema, or commination) is any expressed wish that some form of adversity or misfortune will befall or attach to some other entity: one or more persons, a place, or an object.  In particular, "curse" may refer to such a wish or pronouncement made effective by a supernatural or spiritual power, such as a god or gods, a spirit, or a natural force, or else as a kind of spell by magic or witchcraft; in the latter sense, a curse can also be called a hex or a jinx.  In many belief systems, the curse itself (or accompanying ritual) is considered to have some causative force in the result.  To reverse or eliminate a curse is sometimes called "removal" or "breaking", and is often believed to require elaborate rituals or prayers.
Title: Small business financing
Passage: Small business financing (also referred to as startup financing or franchise financing) refers to the means by which an aspiring or current business owner obtains money to start a new small business, purchase an existing small business or bring money into an existing small business to finance current or future business activity.  There are many ways to finance a new or existing business, each of which features its own benefits and limitations.  In the wake of the financial crisis of 2007–08, the availability of traditional types of small business financing dramatically decreased.  At the same time, alternative types of small business financing have emerged.  In this context, it is instructive to divide the types of small business financing into the two broad categories of traditional and alternative small business financing options.
