Netflix’ CEO and co-creator worked through and rejected over 100 business ideas before coming up with Netflix

Two years on the fledgling company had $47m in losses and Blockbuster were still dominating the scene with $60b in revenue

CEO Marc Randolph:

“When you have an idea, you have to recognize that nobody can tell in advance whether it’s a good idea or a bad idea”

“You have to take that risk and you have to do something. You have to start something, you have to build something, make something, test something, try something”

“You’ll learn more in an hour of trying something than in six months of thinking about it or building a business plan about it”

A handful of people with no experience in the video industry took down a billion dollar, 60,000-employee company inside 10 years

Randolph’s final piece of advice to aspiring entrepreneurs:

“Just remember, if this was easy, everybody would do it!”
