Three Lessons Young Entrepreneurs Can Learn From The Movie Conviction Starring Hillary Swank!
Entrepreneur have you seen the feature film “Conviction” starring Oscar award winning actress Hillary Swank and veteran actor Sam Rockwell?
Minnie Driver, Melissa Leo,Juliette Lewis and Daniel Gallagher round out a solid all star cast.The movies premise (a powerful true story BTW), revolves around Betty Ann Waters (Swank’s character) a divorced mother of two and her beloved brother Kenny (played by Rockwell.)
Her entire world is literally turned upside down, and temporarily shattered when her beloved brother Kenny is falsely accused of a brutal 1980 murder of a young woman Katharina Brow in Ayer Massachusetts.
Although Swank’s character’s brother was originally charged and arrested for this brutal crime, he was later set free! But as fate would have it, two years after he was originally cleared of all charges!
Wouldn’t you know it , (a so called) new previously undiscovered witnesses surface and Rockwell’s character is rearrested, tried and convicted on highly circumstantial evidence! (That certainly hasn’t happened before, now has it!)
While in prison for the second time, and this time serving a life sentence! This series of life altering events, dramatically alters Betty Anne Waters (Swank’s characters) life!
Three Extremely Important Lessons Young Entrepreneurs Can And Should Learn From The movie Conviction!
Because Swank’s character is so extremely close to her brother, she courageously goes back to school, first to her GED!
Then goes on to graduate college in order to finally pursue a law degree. In order to hopefully finally free her brother by proving his innocence! (Now entrepreneur is that commitment or what?)
And as it turns out, her brother was in fact framed by a series of dirty cops and a complicit judicial system. Witnesses are either bribed or coerced and bullied into fingering Rockwell’s character as the perpetrator of this brutal crime! (That to date has never officially been solved!)
Swanks character faces a ton anticipated and unanticipated ups and downs, in her unrelenting mission to free her brother! Turns out her entire cash strapped journey would take in excess of 18 extremely long years of what if’s and if only’s.
Before all her hard work and junk yard dog like persistence and determination finally frees her brother for good!
If You’re Looking To Neatly Wrap Things Up In A Single Weekend! (Do Think Again!)
Her incredible journey and unrelenting search for the truth, reveals three incredibly powerful lessons, for any and all aspiring entrepreneurs, but especially young entrepreneurs.
1.) Entrepreneurial lesson #one: At one point during her investigation Swank’s character was told crucial evidence needed to prove her brothers innocence was some how mysteriously lost!
What’s the lesson you ask? She set a clearly defined goal (to prove brothers innocence) and no matter what obstacles she encountered during her all out pursuit of that goal, (and there were tons of them), she never ever gave up!
Even though she constantly faced a ton of temporary heartbreaking setbacks! She grew tired and frustrated! But she pressed on & on!
And even though she got extremely frustrated with the snails pace of the investigation and the entire judicial process in general, she realized she needed to stay laser focused and committed to the final outcome!
Which meant, whenever necessary, she needed to adjust her approach (in a major way) sometimes in order to ultimately solve the problem! She was married to the final solution, not to her temporary obstacles and approaches!
