When the finger points to the moon, don’t concentrate on the finger, or you will miss all the heavenly glory…

No problem.
I love Python, and I particularly love this sketch for similar reasons to you.
As much as I can hear my Dad (and Grandads) in the sketch, I know it is true!

Bob – when you look down your family tree have you found any that came from Yorkshire?

Many thanks both. Working on it now.

This is the best response I’ve read in ages.
Stalk your clients!
It took me 3 years of telephone and email conversations to get our first job from our now biggest client.

Scott, that blog post has been discussed before and it is far more relevant to the big production houses around the uk and USA who have huge overheads and rely solely on post production work from film and tv. Also, that list includes some pretty established trades and is pretty subjective.
As for your analogy, I would never advise someone close to me on business. But if I had my arm forced on your question I would tell them not to be silly. Because, your scenario shows no immediate income, no guaranteed income, no experience and no skillset. If someone I loved had a good case for dumping life savings and their house on a business that had potential for growth I would offer them my money so I could make a profit. Let’s not get misty eyed about video production, we are running a business that has to make profit. Let’s twist that scenario back to you-if your loved one said they were going to dump all their money and house and take out loans to run a new plumbing business, but had no experience, no skills, no clients and no connections, what would you say?
Our industry has changed. You now can offer more, for less. -
I should add….

I’m not a leader, I have no sponsors and I don’t give two craps who I upset. I’m positive because I’m not built to be any other way. I believe in my business.

Excellent post Walter. This has been a fascinating debate, but I don’t agree with Andy or scott-this industry isn’t in terminal decline and attributing luck to those who succeed isnt right.
