I'd like to share a great new website that offers entrepreneurs a unique way to interact with investors. BusinessMic.com is an online platform that allows entrepreneurs to post a short video giving an overview of their ideas and/or business plan. Meanwhile, there are numerous large investors that look through the videos and contact entrepreneurs who they are interested in. Right now they are allowing you to upload a video for only one penny! 
The higher the rank of your video, the more likely you are to be seen. So you can market your video to others, boost your rating, and show investors that you already have community support for your business. Hi Neil,

It's definitely good to learn from your own mistakes, but you might as well take advantage of those that have gone before you, specifically if it relates to an issue you're currently dealing with. While it might not give you the answer, it will definitely tell you where NOT to go! Good post... I particularly like #5.
