I watched another Action Hero video this week. This one was about a guy who is in the real estate business. He probably isn't an emotionally compelling as the previous ones I have watched. He did have trials like bankruptcy and divorce, but not quite as amazing as a man who moved into the dorm of his college to keep personal costs down with the intent to give more of his money away. Paul Robshaw, the action hero this week, was very driven and has had a lot of success and a lot of failure in his life. It is nice to be reminded that even if we lose everything monetarily, we can still recover and succeed in life.
I also read about some tips for starting a business. The article I read was a bit hard to follow because he would tell you to one thing but then tell you not to do it in the same breath. The underlying theme seemed to be to have mediation in all things. The writer seemed to want you to walk a fine line and know where it is at all times. This is probably why a lot of start ups fail.. there just is no way to see this line all of the time and constantly be on top of it.
I think the case study I read this week about Heather Evans was interesting. She is a designer of womens professional apparel in New York City. Through the case study I learned about perseverance, and hope. Heather was very close to beginning her new business, but had not secured funding. She was nervous that things would not line up in time. I can't imagine putting out that much personal money with the great potential to lose it all so quickly.
