If you’re on the fence about joining the SHINE fundraising team with your contribution of $40, here’s 10 great reasons to support the film now:

  1. Because this economy needs more entrepreneurs to succeed.
  2. You’re tired of the word “entrepreneur” being defined in the media as venture-backed businesses, when the truth is that less than 1/10th of 1 percent of all new businesses ever receive venture funding.
  3. Have you ever had the opportunity to get YOUR picture in the title of an important film for $40?
  4. You don’t want big businesses like WalMart to completely take over the Earth!
  5. These powerful stories from entrepreneurs will help inspire the next generation of brave thinkers and creative doers
  6. You just might find the key to success in your own business hidden among these incredible entrepreneurial stories
  7. Because you’re more likely to be struck by lightening than you are to receive venture funding for your business.
  8. Because you want to hear entrepreneurs like Bruce Livingstone, the founder of iStockphoto, tell you in their own words the personal price they’ve had to pay to build a company from idea to sale for $50 million
  9. Because most entrepreneurs are invisible, and it’s time to change that
  10. Because you want the world to know why you work incredibly long hours, often for low pay, always facing great uncertainty … to create the business of your dreams
