Can you help?

-by Jaime Willis

We're working on several behind the scenes projects here at Velocity that I can't wait to share with you all soon. In the meantime, there are lots of ways you can help us help you.

I've opened up the comments today so that *anyone* can comment -- you don't need to be registered. Here's what we're gonna do:

1) If you CAN help out with any of the following bits below, please respond either in the comments or via email.

2) If you NEED help with any of your goals, please post your need in the comments or shoot us an email. Later on this week, we'll do a round-up post of "Needs and Leads" for you all.

Sound good? Excellent!

Velocity Needs:

1) If you are a graphic designer we have a small, but critical, project for you.

2) If you have some specific advice, quotes, or a inspiring story about overcoming physical challenges, that would be awesome. We are particularly looking for stories about people with height-issues (a la Napoleon) who have become successful in life. (We promise - we'll tell you the whole story later!)

3) Remember our posts on mission commitment? We're looking for stories of people who overcame incredible odds to reach their goals. (Think Carl Brashear from "Men of Honor"). The stories can be real or fictional.

4) Would you be willing to post a flyer for our upcoming class in your break room at the office? Email me!

5) Do you have the perfect location for us to hold a class in Grand Rapids, Michigan in April? Please let me know!

6) Does your business offer personal development workshops? If so, would you be willing to present our materials to the decision maker? We'd love to come on-site to work with you and your team!

Jaime Needs:

1) Do you have some really motivating music I can add to my workout playlist? My music is getting stale, and I have 41 50Ks left to run, so I need some great music!

2) Do you know someone who works at the central office of the NYC Department of Education (specifically the Tweed building)? I'm looking for an introduction.

3) Are you a member of toastmasters? If so, I'd love to chat with you.

Matt Needs:

1) Do you know any certified professional coaches? I'm looking to speak with any life coaches or executive coaches that have created a sustainable business for themselves.

2) Do you know of any great networking events in the DC area? If you've got some ideas, I would love to hear from you.

3) What is the most inspirational movie(s) you've ever seen?
