Movies for startups

So I watched Shawshank Redemption again last night. The guy spent twenty years working on that tunnel! And one day he escaped and redeemed himself. What can (or cannot) a startup accomplish in twenty years if it sticks to its vision?

Rocky is another favorite. When Stallone talks about his desire to “Go the distance” and prove that he was not “just another bum” on the street, isn’t he speaking for every bootstrapping startup guy who has his heart set on something wonderful.

I Love Movies! For the way they can inspire you and even help you see a bad sales call in the right perspective.
