Success in Motion
by Jon Tzou on March 22nd, 2007

When it comes to giving insight into getting something started from scratch, we here at Talkmatic want to bring you only the best firsthand experiences from industry professionals who seemingly created value out of thin air. Why?
Because we believe you can do the same.

But how do you get into the mindset of an innovator…an entrepreneur? Now that you have your idea, what is the best direction to take it? We don’t necessarily have all the answers to these questions, but we sure can point you in the right direction.
The following are a few online video streams to tap into when you need to remind yourself of what it means to be a mover and a shaker. If you envision yourself as a person who wants to affect change in this world, please continue on.
The best part? These videos are all very FREE and very useful.
- Inc.com - Providing interviews with the founder of World Poker Tour and the mastermind behind Zappos.com, Inc.com is a wonderful repository of both business-launching advice and firsthand experience.
- TED Talks - What many may consider the most diverse, yet interesting collection of speakers, TED Talks is an archive of presentations that come from all over the world to Monterey, CA to discuss their successes, stories, and predictions of the world. Just to name a few people who have spoken at TED: Al Gore, Will Wright, Bono, Steven Levitt (Freakonomics), and Ze Frank.
- Educators Corner - Run by Stanford students, Educators Corner provides important tidbits on precisely what entrepreneurship is and how to go about it from a practical perspective. This is a must-see for the more conservative entrepreneur.
Note: These are merely experiences of others who “made it.” Take what they say with a grain of salt and try not to blindly etch their words into your tablet of maxims without having tried anything on your own. Every person’s path to venture success is different, so think independently and keep an open mind when watching these videos.
