It is the same thing in the business world. You can beat your head against a brick wall trying to introduce your product by being David in a Goliath world or you can find a partner who is already where you want to be. Be willing to share the spoils of war and you can always find help.

Good post. I bought a copy of the 1991 National Organization for Victim Assistance
Directory of Victim Assistance Programs and Services back then and probably wrote 4000 of the 8000 providers listed there asking them what they would like to see in libraries of all sorts for survivors of crimes. This took me ten years or so but I did share all this information with many. Especially after I got on the Internet around 1999.
I did try to enlist an army for battling the Godzilla like problem I had. As far as 2014, I am hoping that the e-mails I sent to the Sumter County Court Administrator will make a bridge.
I am on Facebook too trying to build allies.
