Accept Help Graciously

Accept Help Graciously from Mickipedia on Vimeo.

Part 2 from the startup video series.

Show Links: WePropel & Sparky Rose

Sparky not only made my awesome video bumpers, he also came up with some great potential titles for the video series. And now I don’t know what to call it. Basically, my plan for this series is to share my experience of running a company. Not just tips and tricks but really what it’s like. What am I learning and how does it feel? I might even talk to other CEOs or show you around the office or something. Like a web startup, I’m giving it room to grow however it may. So I want to make sure the title allows for some transformation. Which of these titles do you like best? Can you think of a better one?

UPDATE: Thanks, y’all! Startup Stories is the winning title!

Hey Mickispeedia,

You’re pretty good on video, almost like you’ve done this before ….
I like the point about relationships: they mattered before web2.o and will be cont. to matter long there after.
Anywho, how are you liking this thesis theme?
I think the blog looks good, nice n’ cleeeeen.
Speaking blogs, I need to go resurrect mine from the ashes….

You left out something REALLY important.

The wrong business relationships / mentors can RUIN you.

You could do a segment on that alone. Doing your homework on “associates”, asking them the right questions, and listening to your gut feelings and instincts about people.

Most of all, talk to as many people in your industry as possible, before putting too much faith in one person or business to partner with.
