On the Train, an Author Makes His Own Success – NYTimes.com.
This is one of those great inspirational stories that needs to be watched whenever you’re feeling like there are too many impediments and obstacles along your path to achieving your goals in life.

It’s always heartening to see someone who shows that it is indeed possible.

Shine | The Trailers. This is a very powerful video piece, soon to be a full length feature based upon the real life stories of folks who for a variety of reasons bailed out of jobs in the 9 -5 world and started working for themselves. It is produced by biznik.

Another great movie trailer in the same category is “Lemonade.” This video piece comes from Chris Brogan’s blog this morning. If you’ve ever received a pink slip or think that the hand writing is on the wall with regard to your job security. You really should see these two vids.
