Thinking about having a cozy movie night today? We recommend you watch one of the top 5 movies for entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Social Network <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The film drama “The Social Network” shows the story of Facebook and its founder Mark Zuckerberg. While still in college, Mark Zuckerberg, played by Jesse Eisenberg, programmed the social network Facebook and became one of the most famous entrepreneurs in the world. He is living proof that founding a startup at a young age can truly pay off for innovative minds. But everyone who thinks that one can only learn from Mark’s Zuckerberg success story is gravely mistaken. The most important lesson is taught by the Winklevoss brothers, who gave Zuckerberg the original idea for a social network: be careful in business! Due to digitalization and the crypto boom, more and more people are planning to start their own technology startup. However, they often lack the necessary programming skills to turn the idea into reality. Aspiring founders should exercise particular caution when choosing their partners. Otherwise, they are at risk of having their business idea snatched away by a clever programmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forrest Gump <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Forrest Gump has an intelligence quotient of only 75 and has to wear leg\nbraces because of a spinal condition. Nevertheless, he manages to become a\nsuccessful football player, tennis star and entrepreneur. He teaches company\nfounders to believe in themselves and not to give up too quickly. Not everyone\nfinds the perfect business idea right away, but that should not stop entrepreneurs\nfrom entering the business world. The second important lesson of the film is\nthat sometimes a pinch of luck is also part of success. After all, Forrest\nwould never have been able to build a shrimp empire if a storm had not destroyed\nthe competing fishing boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Erb Case<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After the Swiss Air Grounding, the bankruptcy of the Erb Group is the\nsecond largest corporate failure in Switzerland. The story of the Erb family\nbegins with a small car garage in Winterthur-T\u00f6ss. Despite the modest\nbeginnings, the entrepreneur Hugo Erb and later his son Rolf Erb managed to\nbuild a conglomerate through the purchase of a wide range of industrial\ncompanies and transactions in the real estate and financial industries.\nHowever, due to bad business decisions, the Erb Group soon fell into disrepute\nand eventually had to file for bankruptcy. The rise and fall of the Erb family teaches\nbusinessmen how, despite modest circumstances, an empire can be built through hard\nwork and entrepreneurial spirit, but also how quickly said empire may be\ndestroyed through mismanagement. The SRF documentary “The Erb Case”\ndetails the history of the family business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oceans Eleven<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Oceans Eleven, the crooks Danny Ocean, Linus Caldwell and Co. plan to\nrob the Bellagio Casino. Thanks to meticulous planning, the well-rehearsed team\nfinally succeeds in pulling off the big coup. The lesson entrepreneurs may\nlearn from this film is not that they should pursue a criminal career path, but\nrather that with precise planning and a good team, almost anything can be\naccomplished. Aspiring company founders are well advised to choose their\nbusiness partners wisely and to bring people with useful skills into the team. Moreover,\nit is important to work out a concrete business plan. This is especially true\nin the founding phase of a company when funds are scarce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intern<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In “The Intern” 70-year-old Ben Whittaker, played by Robert De Niro, starts a job as a senior intern at an e-commerce fashion firm in New York. At said company Ben must learn how to deal with the modern working world and his young boss Jules Ostin. In the film, Ben impressively proves that it is never too late to tackle a new challenge and enter the business world. The exact opposite is the case. Because older founders can draw on a wide range of experience and a broad network, they are often successful businessmen. This is precisely why young company founders are well advised to seek the support of experienced entrepreneurs. Just as Jules benefits from Ben’s knowledge, young entrepreneurs may learn from experienced mentors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
