about the success of entrepreneurship. For most people it is good to catch the concept if it is in
diagrammatic or audio form. Now i’m going to explain my concept from some movies that
inspires every start up buddies in business.
1. The Social Network (2010):
The Social Network was a Hollywood blockbuster.
It was based on the fairy-tale rise of Mark Zuckerberg and his startup – Facebook.
The Social Network remains a top choice for inspiration because of its deft
storytelling and brilliant background score.
This is a good movie on learning how to take your dreams and turn them into reality.
The movie also teaches us a lot on how to scale a company from a dorm room to
the most successful social media platform the world has ever seen!
Although the accuracy of this movie has been questioned, it doesn’t matter, it is a
great source of inspiration for all entrepreneurs.
2. Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999):
Pirates of Silicon Valley is another well-crafted movie covering the successes of Bill
Gates’s Microsoft and Steve Jobs’s Apple.
Both were no doubt “great pirates” and this movie does a great job of detailing that.
The movie is a take on the rivalry between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates from the very
early days.
Noah Wyle did a great job of portraying young Steve Jobs in this made-for-television
movie.
3. The Pursuit of Happyness (2006):
Yes, it’s spelled like that.
This is one of my favorite motivational movies, and one of the best movies ever
on never giving up.
2. Will Smith’s amazing portrayal of Chris Gardner will give you goosebumps.
This is a movie based on Chris’s memoirs. It was a best-selling book and then became
a blockbuster movie.
It adds in a gripping sense of reality that you don’t find in a lot of cheesy Hollywood
movies.
The movie features a powerful, yet simple message:
Never give up.
4. The Shawshank Redemption (1994):
It’s one of IMDB’s all-time top 10 movies.
Two imprisoned men bond over a period of many years, finding solace and eventual
redemption through acts of common decency. The protagonist Andy Dufresne (Tim
Robbins) manages to make the best out of a very bad situation (being imprisoned for a
false murder). Through perseverance, he manages to achieve more than he ever
thought possible.
Morgan Freeman plays the other main character, and their chemistry is unmatchable.
5. Forrest Gump (1994):
This is a beautiful story about a simple man with good intentions, who accidentally
becomes a phenomenal success just by living his the life he feels is right.
He wins medals, becomes a professional ping-pong player, takes up running, owns a
huge shrimping company, and inspires people all across the country.
The story revolves around the simple nature of Forrest (Tom Hanks) and how he
proves that you don’t have to be a genius to achieve something. All you have to do is
try
6. Moneyball (2011):
This movie is about the Oakland Athletics and its general manager Billy Beane (Brad
Pitt).
The team is an underdog and is losing a lot of money. All of their star players have
been picked up by bigger teams. Now, Billy needs to look at how to create a winning
team without the kind of talent that money can buy.
This movie shows how entrepreneurs can take an innovative approach to an existing
way of doing business, and beat out the competition with little to no money.
7. The Godfather (1972):
3. The Godfather is another one of IMDB’s all-time top 10 movies, and it’s also one of
the most critically acclaimed films of all time.
This is a story about the growth of a small family business and the fighting off of the
opposition. The business changes through time until it finally becomes the largest
organized crime syndicate in New York City.
The father and son who run the operation show what it takes to get to the top and stay
there.
It’s a great watch for those who want to learn how to stay on the top. Note: Don’t do
anything illegal, just find some inspiration in these shrewd business operators.
8. Wall Street (1987):
This a movie about business and greed.
The story is about an ambitious young stockbroker, Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen).
He has and does everything in his power to succeed, even if that means a little insider
trading. Insider trading is a highly reprehensible and punishable crime, and yet, he has
no fear. He meets with Gordon Gecko (Michael Douglas) and starts doing business
with the motto “greed is good”.
You don’t have to succumb to greed to draw inspiration from this movie.
9. Something Ventured (2011):
If you happen to be an entrepreneur looking forward to exploring the VC avenue, this
documentary has some great insight.
Something Ventured is a documentary based on the perspective of the first venture
capitalists in Silicon Valley.
It’s a really great way of looking at how things get funded, and what’s on the line for
big time investors. It’s also a great look at how to be brave and push through
innovative ideas in a market that always likes to be complacent.
10. Boiler Room (2000):
Although this movie is most likely inspired by the original Wall Street, there are few
great salesman tips to inspire you here!
Let this movie guide you to find that inner business spirit.
It’s a total must-watch to get you motivated. Also, it’ll help you stay true to your spirit
and not become morally corrupt.
