This is David Hoffman, filmmaker, oftentimes running clips, sometimes just giving my point of view or my feelings about something.

Present continuous

I'm going to be talking in this short clip about Ignasi.

Oh, he's a friend of mine and he's in trouble.

He came from an upper middle class family and he was very successful in business, built five companies I t companies and in one married, had two Children living a good life and lost it all.

Something went south with his business at the same time as he had some medical issues that were really bad.

I didn't know how to deal with what happened.

That changed from very, very good that not very, very good in a very short period of time.

Because first of all, I come from the blue collar class.

My dad barely made enough money to survive for our family, so I learned how to deal with no money.

Second, I've had my medical issues and he knows me for a long time.

So I gave him this advice and then it occurred to me that it also might be helpful to you.

The first thing that I do when these things hit me is I re evaluate everything.

I tried to turn something bad into something good.

So in other words, I'm looking at myself.

Where I want to go Because this is an opportunity.

What does the world around me once that I could offer Then I do what we used to call Search my roller, Dex.

But every single friend, colleague relative is a potential contact.

And can I make contact with that person and ask something from them.

I don't have any work right now That works for some people.

Other people rejected me when I said that.

If I'm not successful, so you pick the ones.

I did this with a filmmaker friend of mine.

And just let me be there again in the space of TV.

So I use my friends, and many of them want to help.

They've been in the situation I've been in.

You know, your real friends are in my case, in my business, I by the Wall Street Journal and I read every day.

What companies are having problems when the company is doing great and everything is going booming.

They don't really want me because I could help solve a problem.

And I look at who's stating the problem, and then I make this is the hardest thing to do.

Two or three cold calls every day, two or three cold coals ain't easy.

Sometimes I talked with assistance and assistance or great.

They always kind of a more sympathetic to me.

When I say I can do this, I think I can help this problem.

Go down and you will find yourself in a place where somebody wants you because you can solve their problem.

Not because you're pitching your own talents, your own skills.

Them least, that's what I find in Silicon Valley.

There's this phrase low hanging fruit lying.

This is the person most likely to give you work to give you an opportunity to give you a chance because you solve something for them.

Something they need done, something that helps them.

But there's another idea in Silicon Valley, which is really helpful to my friend Ignacio and has been helpful to me, which is people like people who have failed.

They trust you if you have failed, if you just succeed, if you just fail.

But if you have some successes and some failures, you know what it means to be on the underside, where your thing isn't working and you don't even know why we have lost your money.

And the fact that you know makes you stronger.
