Alright, alright, let’s yak about them movies about entrepreneurs on Netflix, ya know, the ones about folks startin’ their own businesses and such. I ain’t no fancy movie critic or nothin’, but I know what I like, and I reckon these flicks got somethin’ to say to anyone thinkin’ ’bout makin’ somethin’ of themselves.
First off, lemme tell ya, these ain’t always happy-go-lucky stories. Some of ’em, like that Pursuit of Happyness one, they show ya the grit, the grind, you know? This fella, he’s down on his luck, sleepin’ in bathrooms with his kid, tryin’ to sell them bone density scanners. It ain’t pretty, but it shows ya gotta hustle, gotta keep pushin’ even when things look bleak. That’s somethin’ any fella tryin’ to make a livin’ can understand, entrepreneur or not.
Then you got them movies about big ideas, the ones that change the world, or at least try to. Like that Fyre Festival one. Now, that weren’t a success, not by a long shot. But it shows ya, even with all the money and fancy talk, if you ain’t got the goods, you ain’t got nothin’. That fella, he was a smooth talker, promised the moon and the stars, but he couldn’t deliver. A good lesson there, I tell ya. Don’t go makin’ promises you can’t keep, that ain’t the way to do good business.
- Important thing is to keep tryin’. Don’t give up just ’cause things get tough.
- Be honest with folks. Don’t go sellin’ them snake oil, ya hear?
- You gotta have a plan. Can’t just go jumpin’ into things without thinkin’ it through.
Some of these movies, they make ya think, they really do. They ain’t just about makin’ money, they’re about followin’ your dreams, about buildin’ somethin’ from nothin’. That’s somethin’ special, ain’t it? Like that movie, I can’t quite recall the name now but it was about that fella who started McDonald’s or somethin’. He had a vision, see? He saw somethin’ nobody else saw, and he went for it. And look at ‘em now, they’re everywhere!
Now, I ain’t sayin’ it’s easy. These movies, they show ya it ain’t easy. You gotta work hard, you gotta be smart, and you gotta be lucky, too. But if you got the fire in your belly, if you got that somethin’ special, well, then maybe you got what it takes. And watchin’ these movies might just give you that little extra push you need, you know? Seein’ other folks struggle and succeed, it kinda makes you think, “Well, maybe I can do it too.”
Leadership, that’s another thing these movies talk about. You can’t do it all by yourself, ya gotta have good people around ya, people you can trust. And you gotta treat ’em right, too. Can’t be bossin’ folks around and expectin’ them to do good work for ya. It’s like farmin’, ya gotta tend to the land, nurture your crops, and then, maybe, you’ll get a good harvest. It’s the same with people, gotta treat them right if you want them to do right by you.
And innovation, that’s a big word, but it just means doin’ things different, doin’ things better. Thinkin’ outside the box, like they say. These movies, they got plenty of examples of that. Folks comin’ up with new ideas, new ways of doin’ things, and changin’ the world while they’re at it. It don’t always work, mind you, but ya gotta try, gotta keep that fire burnin’.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a little inspiration, a little somethin’ to get you goin’, I reckon these Netflix movies about entrepreneurs are a good place to start. They ain’t perfect, mind you, some of ‘em are a bit too fancy for my taste, but they got somethin’ to say, somethin’ worth hearin’. Just remember, it ain’t all glamour and riches, it’s about hard work, dedication, and a little bit of luck. But if you got that, well, then you just might make somethin’ of yourself.
And don’t forget, even if you fail, it ain’t the end of the world. You just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and try again. That’s what these fellas in the movies do, and that’s what you gotta do too. Life’s a long road, full of bumps and turns, but if you keep your eyes on the prize, you just might get there in the end. And if you learn something along the way, even if you don’t reach that prize you first set your eyes on, then I’d say it’s all been worthwhile. After all, we ain’t nothin’ but learners in this world, ain’t that the truth?
