7 Movies Every Business Owner Must Watch

by Kevin Gardner

This article's collection of creative, cinematic masterpieces and documentaries would be fascinating and useful for both new and seasoned business sharks, as well as those pursuing self-development and actively scaling the corporate ladder. These incredible, unpredictable, and inspirational films will pique your interest. They express the details of the trading and advertising industry, reveal the secrets of profitable sales, and reveal the mysteries of famous entrepreneurs in an emotional and precise manner. They chronicle the lives and fortunes of billionaires.

1. Pirates of Silicon Valley

This tale about two young tech geniuses, a visionary and an engineer – Bill Gates and Steve Jobs – who transformed their utopian concepts into an excellent recipe for success and companies that conquered the world: Apple and Microsoft. They are able to make their visions of success come true. You will watch this fascinating process unfold and apply what you learn to your own goals, interests, and ambitions.

2. The Wolf of Wall Street

Jordan Belfort, a well-known American broker who amassed a large fortune but drew the attention of the FBI and was convicted of fraud and money laundering, is the subject of this dark comedy crime drama. This film is always at the top of lists of "the best industry, performance, and finance films." It has it all: ups and downs, sex and drugs, genius deals and financial fraud, opulent lifestyles, and the most incredible ways to waste money. Add in the protagonist's inexpressible charm (Leonardo DiCaprio), the insane dangers, the greed for riches, moral problems, and stock broker trade secrets, and you have one enthralling presentation.

3. Joy

This is a true story about Joy Mangano, the visionary who founded Ingenious Designs and invented the self-pressing mop. What challenges did she have to overcome? Finances, emotional strife, a family crisis, and betrayal of loved ones are all issues that people face. What's left when you've lost almost everything but your insatiable desire for success and have nowhere to go? Building a multi-million dollar enterprise, in the case of the film's main character.

4. Jerry Maguire

True performance is found outside of your comfort zone. To achieve it, you'll have to break free from your normal rut, withstand detractors' provocations and assaults, tackle obstacles, and persevere through setbacks. The feature film, starring Tom Cruise, consistently persuades you that it is critical to believe in yourself, remember the objective, and disregard the obstacles.

5. The Pursuit of Happyness

This is another true story drama, but this one is kind, optimistic, and inspiring. Will Smith plays the main character, who has a hard time getting his foot in the door and dragging himself out of abject poverty. For the sake of his young son, he does the almost impossible: he undergoes a complicated and long journey from poverty to millionairedom.

6. Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year

This contemporary Indian film will not enchant you with its enchanting special effects, but it will entice you with its inspiring storyline. Beginning entrepreneurs and managers will find it beneficial to watch this film in order to become familiar with the original methods of dealing with clients as well as to learn the subtleties of buyer-seller relationships.

7. The Billionaire

If you feel like your hard work isn't paying off, money isn't flowing to you, and you're on the verge of giving up, this film will serve as a great motivator and boost your morale. This story is based on true events, and it takes us through each step of the hero's arduous journey. Young Tom's determination, resourcefulness, and enterprise are not always rewarded in the real world, where adults demand that he receive the requisite education and force their ideals on him. Tom is not interested in school, university, or boring work; his ambition is to start a company. If you believe in yourself, you will never give up on the road to real change and billions of dollars, despite abandoned studies and mounting debts, victories and horrific troubles, intractable issues, and legal battles.
