The lesson is good and true for us, IT guys. But the idea behind getting help is exactly that, to show success. If you can show success by yourself why you need then ? So even your trust grows up when you have a happy past, but the problem with new "good" guys is that they don´t have sufficient confidence to pursuit the success by the lack of a past success history. So maybe the big trick is to trust until the end that you can be a success by yourself and then get the world.
