The video is the work of creative director Janet Giampietro, with motion graphics by Gestalters, llc. and audio production by Al Fritsch.

I also want to give another shout out to Grasshopper whose video, Entrepreneurs Can Change the World, inspired this one. They used a video to inspire interest in starting a company or nonprofit (yes, for me nonprofits are as entrepreneurial as for profits). Ventureneer uses its video to let small business owners and nonprofit executives know that they can’t do it by themselves and assistance is available if you know where to look.

Every small business and nonprofit leader needs outside assistance so share the video with your network as reminder to them to continual build their support system.

Not into naming things, I’d still like to hear from you. Tell me what you think about the video and who's in your support system.
