"There's this myth that you pound away forever and never give upthat if you just persevere long enough success will come. But that's just not right. The question I get asked all the time and one I ask myself too is how do you know when "this isn't working" meansstop doing thisversuswe just need to find the thing that unlocks it It's really hard. There's no specific point. What I look at is two things: First my enthusiasm level. Usually a problem is so intriguing that I'm not caught up in whether it's working or not. Each time I try something and it doesn't work I've learned something more"

"If your plan is to fill a gap in the market that the established players have missed first figure out why they missed it. In my experience the biggest players in a mature industry know their industry pretty well. Yet Ive seencountless business plans based on the notion that theres an opportunity that the established players have missed; often a neglected market or an overlooked efficiency. But heres the thing: it always looks easier from the outside. If the leader in a streaming media space isnt offering a certain kind of content well sure its possible that theyre unaware that theres demand"

Welcome to the Netflix Chronicles. Well start with the question I get asked more than any other: where did the idea for Netflix come from When people ask me this question they want an epiphany moment. Theyre looking for the story about two guys who cant make their rent and boom Theres AirBnB.They want the guy who cant get a cab on New Years Eve and ahaTheres Uber.Or the guy who gets stuck with a $40 late fee on a movie and eureka"

In the first few years after Netflix launched I was completely focused on figuring out how to get rental to work. I had no shortage of ideas; my problem was much worse: I was a perfectionist. Every test was a work of art with custom photography perfect copy and every link thoroughly stress-tested before launch. Each test would take weeks to put together only to fail.

Especially in an early stage company where leadership often requires that every few weeks you have to make a pivotal game-changing decision based on incomplete inconclusive or ambiguous information. In my book That Will Never Work I write about the brutal decision we made early on at Netflix to stop selling DVDs which at the time accounted for 95% of our revenue and focus entirely on making our nascent rental business successful.

"The thing about getting advice from a single entrepreneur.especially someone who knocked it out of the park on their first attempt: They dont actually know which of their principles made them successful. When youve only done something once you cant separate the signal from the noise. You cant tell what worked because of what you did versus what worked in spite of what you did. You dont know what was skill and what was luck. I waited sixteen years to write my book about Netflix for exactly this reason. It took me that long.and that much additional experienceto look back honestly and understand"

But learning about stories like this reminds me that Netflix did contribute something real to the world. Florence Rendulic was a longtime Netflix DVD member.

For every film she watched she wrote review notes on the red envelope and carefully saved them. After she passed her children sent Netflix a box with hundreds of those envelopes"
