I actually found a lot of similarities between running a collaborative short film project and starting a business, and started learning about business start-ups a while ago. There's been a lot of relevent parralels. <br /><br />I've noticed that my technique to many things is to alternate between shot gun approaches, and narrowing down and refining what works. So try lots of things, explore lots of ideas, then when you start to notice some working the the overall project needs more attention in key areas, I focus down on the things that are most needed. Between each phase I return to the big picture and prioritize what's needed.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for that post Keith.Michael Cawoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10405307592282794201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005242.post-81375088155640328952010-09-03T02:23:00.321-05:002010-09-03T02:23:00.321-05:00What a coincidence.

I've been thinking the same thing.<br /><br />As it turns out - I've been reading startup blogs like 37Signals, Startup Quote and Seth Godin.<br /><br />http://37signals.com/svn/<br />http://startupquote.com/<br />http://sethgodin.typepad.com/<br /><br />From what I can tell, starting your own business has a lot in common with making your own short film.<br /><br />Especially when it comes to selecting ideas, cutting out unnecessary "features", overcoming fear, embracing constraints and working to a deadline.<br /><br />Lot's of great parallel lessons to be learned.Phil Willishttp://AnimationIdeas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005242.post-12740380128967638202010-09-03T01:23:01.408-05:002010-09-03T01:23:01.408-05:00oops!
