SAVN.tv Successes and Accomplishments midway through 7-Year Success Cycle June 2011 - June 2015

Accomplishments

Small
Sampling)
The
7-­‐Year
Success
Cycle
June,
2011—
June,
2015

2. The
DREAM
(VISION)
A
lot
of
thought,
discussion
and
feedback
went
into
determining
the
mission,
purpose
and
direction
of
SAVN.tv.
It
was
decided
early
on
that
we
would
not
play
to
the
troops,
but
rather
create
an
appealing
and
non-­‐threatening
kind
of
21st
Century,
contemporary
cyberspace
street
corner
presentation,
designed
to
rethink
and
reinvent
the
Genius
of
the
army–-­‐its
unique
way
of
evangelizing.
According
to
a
Pew
Research
Study,
the
emerging
generation
is
cause
(mission)
oriented.
The
genius
of
the
army
is
that,
historically,
it
has
been
social
action
(cause)
oriented;
that's
what
sets
it
apart.
Thus,
social
action
causes
become
the
Oirst-­‐look
“hook”
that
attracts
and
engages.
Once
hooked,
the
viewer
digs
deeper
(follows
them
into
an
army
meeting)
where
the
gospel
message
is
presented
visually,
creatively
and
interactively.

3. The
DREAM
(VISION)
Because
content
is
king,
from
the
beginning
SAVN
was
committed
to
creating
professional,
attractive
content,
appealing
to
the
audiences
we
wanted
to
reach.
In
other
words,
it
had
to
be
externally
focused
with
the
ultimate
goal
of
winning
the
world
for
Christ,
its
mission
Oield
of
7
billion
souls
now
accessible
at
our
Oingertips.
The
next
challenge
was
to
design
a
personalized,
content
delivery
(distribution)
system,
easily
accessible,
available
to
all,
no
small
feat.
Become
the
resource
and
aegis
(umbrella)
site
for
a
host
of
online
customized
causes,
congregations,
recovery
groups,
missions
stations,
ad
inOinitum.
At
year
four,
the
delivery
design
was
in
place
and
functioning,
just
as
we
had
hoped
and
prayed
for,
bringing
us
right
to
the
cutting
edge—THE
DREAM
REALIZED!

4. The
SAVN
7-­‐Year
Success
Cycle
The
SAVN
dream
was
launched
midway
2011.
I
had
read
somewhere
that
overnight
successes
typically
take
about
seven
years.
This
was
later
conOirmed
in
a
Forbes
article,
“Why
Overnight
Start-­‐up
Success
Is
A
Myth,”
written
by
George
Bradt.
Following
are
quotes
from
the
article,
accompanied
by
my
annotations:
Forbes:
The
best-­‐kept
secret
in
the
start-­‐up
world
is
that
there
is
no
such
thing
as
an
overnight
success.
Success
typically
takes
six
to
seven
years
–
if
you
survive
the
?irst
three.
Noland:
And
therein
lies
the
challenge!
Forbes:
Year
I
is
about
the
dream…
the
keys
are
curiosity
and
risk-­‐
taking.
Noland:
It
was
here,
during
one
of
those
curious,
creative
moments,
that
the
Spirit
inspired
name
came
into
being:
SAVN.tv,
an
acronym
for
Salvation
Army
Vision
Network,
and
also
a
condensation
of
the
word,
“SALVATION,”—our
RAISON
D'ÊTRE.
And
the
risk-­‐taking
part
created
a
whole
lot
of
institutional
discomfort
(see
Forbes
parentheses
below).
[As
an
aside,
Kurnit
laid
out
the
difference
between
starting
a
business
inside
a
corporation
and
outside
one.
The
advantage
of
starting
inside
is
you
don’t
have
to
worry
about
payroll.
But,
almost
by
de?inition,
you’re
going
to
have
people
that
are
less
open
to
risk-­‐taking
and
extra
friction
with
the
corporate
people
around
you.
If
you
start
inside,
isolate
yourself
as
well
as
possible
so
you
don’t
get
caught
up
in
the
corporate
culture
and
endless
meetings.]
Noland:
Freedom
from
bureaucratic
constraints
critical
to
midpoint
successes
and
achievements..

5. Forbes:
Year
II
is
scary.
By
then
you
have
“built
it.”
Now
you’ve
got
to
get
the
customers.
Noland:
It
was
trial
and
error
to
begin
with
(scary
stuff),
the
product
evolving,
changing
dramatically
in
look
and
function.
Social
media
is
beginning
to
take
on
a
life
of
its
own
during
this
period,
becoming
the
cyberspace
street-­‐corner
gateway
to
our
customers.
Change
is
a
scary
thing!
At
this
juncture,
we
were
inspired
to
create
a
“Social
Media
Chaplain”
position.
After
some
experimentation,
we
began
to
think
that
ordained
ofOicers
would
be
a
perfect
Oit
for
this
component.
Now
it
really
starts
to
get
scary!
Forbes:
Year
III
is
the
break
point.
Either
your
business
is
working
or
it
isn’t.
If
it
is,
keep
going.
Keep
evolving.
Remember,
you’re
still
a
start-­‐up,
still
working
towards
that
“overnight
success”
several
years
down
the
road.
Noland:
With
a
lot
of
intervention,
innovation
and
hard
work,
we
were
able
to
begin
widening
our
social
media
circles.
Now
into
Year
IV
(having
survived
the
Oirst
III),
SAVN
has
made
excellent
progress
with
high
professional
quality
content
being
produced,
innovative
delivery
systems
developed
and
the
customer
base
beginning
to
expand
exponentially.
Following
is
a
selected
sampling
of
accomplishments
midway
through
the
SAVN
7-­‐Year
Success
Cycle:

6. DOCUMENTARIES
http://savn.tv/video/Bayanihan-­‐The-­‐Spirit-­‐of-­‐Community
Review:
“What
a
fantastic
production
by
SAVN.tv!
The
picture
and
sound
quality
are
superb.
The
music
tugs
at
the
heartstrings.
The
Dilm
was
very
emotional
and
moving…
there
should
be
a
warning
label
to
have
tissues
nearby.”

7. ~A
Documentary
Feature~
The
General
of
the
Salvation
Army
returns
to
his
roots.
Premiered
at
the
International
Congress
in
London.

8. THE MOVIE
"Powerful,
gripping,
riveting
and
challenging.
Exposes
a
global
problem
in
ways
you
wish
you
never
had
to
be
confronted
with
it.
This
is
a
must
see
for
everyone"-­‐-­‐Josh
McDowell,
Christian
Apologist,
Evangelist
and
Author

9. The
bottom
line
is
that
Hard
Corps
is
a
new
standard.
It
will
set
the
pace
for
other
Christian
Dilmmakers
worldwide
will
aspire
to.
As
a
Christian
media
producer
myself,
this
Dilm
has
challenged
me
to
think
about
what
other
dark
areas
of
our
culture
need
to
be
exposed
through
a
Dilm
like
this.
I’m
not
content
anymore
to
accept
what
mainstream
media,
major
cable
networks,
or
feature
Dilms
say
about
issues
like
this.
I
think
it’s
time
Christians
began
inDluencing
the
story
in
our
culture.
And
Hard
Corps
is
a
powerful
start
—

“This
is
the
best
?ilm
I've
ever
watched
on
this
subject.
It's
graphic
and
explicit
and
the
most
powerful
tool
I've
seen
to
help
men
see
that
the
problem
is
so
much
more
than
just
looking
at
dirty
pictures.
What
an
amazing
job
of
showing
the
connection
with
pornography,
prostitution,
and
sex
trafDicking.
Women
are
victimized
every
day
in
every
town
and
I
hope
and
pray
this
Dilm
will
make
a
difference.
If
you've
ever
wondered
if
you
are
doing
something
wrong
in
looking
at
pornography
you
need
to
watch
this
Dilm.—

Hard
Corps
starts
as
a
fun,
quirky
journey
and
ends
at
the
bottom
of
a
deep
dark
secret
well
of
pain
and
slavery.
What
is
painted
in
our
culture
as
fun
and
harmless
through
the
sex
industry
turns
out
to
be
the
very
tool
of
enslavement
itself.
Thanks
Guy
Noland
for
taking
us
on
the
journey
and
showing
us
the
truth!
Now,
to
spread
the
news!

"HARD
CORPS
is
a
documentary
that
valiantly
tries
to
expose
the
seamy
side
of
the
sex
industry
and
present
efforts
to
rescue
women,
children
and
men
trapped
in
pornography,
prostitution
and
sex
trafDicking.
HARD
CORPS
builds
a
good
case
for
the
seamy,
tawdry,
sad,
evil
nature
of
the
sex
industry,
which
depends
on
abuse,
trafDicking,
brutality,
and
drugs.”-­‐-­‐Ted
Baehr,
Movieguide
Now
more
than
ever,
we
are
called
to
stand
for
what
is
right
and
abolish
what
is
wrong.
I
Dirmly
believe
we
need
to
understand
the
paths
of
traf?icking
and
I
Dirmly
believe
pornography
is
an
entry
point.
"Hard
Corps"
explores
the
world
of
porn
and
discovers
how
pervasive
this
problem
is-­‐-­‐Christine

10. Hard
Corps
is
a
diversely
informative
documentary
that
sheds
much
needed
light
on
the
connections
between
pornography
and
the
sex
industry.
This
Dilm
not
only
gives
relevant
information
into
the
harsh
reality
of
the
sex
industry,
but
it
also
provides
a
call
to
action
that
everyone
can
connect
with
on
some
level.
Hard
Corps
will
change
the
way
you
view
sex
trafDicking
and
how
it
is
clearly
not
a
victimless
crime—Annie

After
a
6-­‐month
sabbatical
of
prayer
and
meditation,
I
have
been
Spirit
led
to
carry
on
the
SAVN
dream,
free
from
bureaucratic
encumbrances,
albeit
in
a
different
style
and
format.
Its
theme
and
challenge
being
MORE!
The
MORE
of
Mercy,
the
less
of
evil;
it's
as
simple
as
that.
Its
goal
to
maximize
the
majority
for
MORE!
It
