Sports teams spend hours every day watching film for a reason. You have to study the problem you're facing in order to figure out the best way to handle it. Business is simply solving one problem after another until you've got a profitable company.
You learn a ton by starting and running a business, but a formal education can give you a more encompassing framework on how to think and approach specific situations.
I'm going to an undergraduate business school right now, and I'm also a web developer and entrepreneur. Sure, some stuff is common sense, but I've also learned a lot that was under the surface that I've already found to be invaluable in my endeavors.
- thwarted 17y agoI think the films being referred to were more along the lines of "how to spend your millions", "what it's like to show off your superbowl ring", or commercials where sports stars are asked "What are you going to do now?" and they respond "Go to Disney Land", as if these somehow indicated HOW to win. The films you're referring to are the proper ones to watch to, as you say, study the problem area and come up with winning strategies. It's not watching movies like Big to find out how to become an executive at a toy company or Gung Ho to determine how to run an auto manufacturing plant.
