I’m off to the Cinema this weekend (finally) 🎬 Watching the new Alien movie, and let’s be real, scary movies hit different as an adult. 👀
But it got me thinking; Building a Business is kinda like starring in your own movie too: 😱 Here’s how;
Popcorn not included 🍿
1. Watching A Scary Movie = Building A Biz:
Both start with sheer excitement, then BAM 💥—everything (sometimes) goes wrong.
And just like that monster lurking in the dark, problems will pop up. But remember, it's not if they come, but how we face them! #EntrepreneurLife
👻📈
2. Horror Movie Rule #1: Don't go in alone.
Business rule #1: Same! 😱
Whether it’s a jump scare or a sudden market shift, having a team helps you handle the chaos.
Outsource when needed - even when Solo.
No one survives alone in the woods...or in Business! 🏃♂️💼 #Teamwork
3. In Horror Flicks, the flashlight always dies...
(at the worst time) 🔦Just like bad business tools!
Be prepared for things to break down at the worst possible moments...
Always have a backup plan, because "winging it" doesn't end well in movies...or startups! 😅
4. The Villain Always Looks Invincible, Right?
Your competition might feel the same. 😈
But remember: Even Michael Myers trips sometimes.
Your job? Keep running, keep innovating, and outlast the boogeyman of the market! 💪💼 #Resilience
5. In Horror Movies, they always split up: BAD IDEA.
😬 In Business, splitting focus is just as dangerous.
Stay on track, don’t chase shiny objects, or you’ll be left screaming into the void of distractions.
Focus = survival! 🧠🔥 #BizSuccess
6. Ever Yell At The Screen: "Don't open that door!"
🚪 In Business, there’s always a “door” that looks tempting but hides disaster. (or a bad deal)
Learn to trust your gut, and don’t open opportunities that look too good to be true! 😱 #EntrepreneurialMindset
7. That Creepy Music Always Builds Up First:
-Before the scare, but you know it's coming. 🎶
Same with Business risks, if you can sense it, you can prepare for it.
Anticipate the worst, act before it happens, and you'll outsmart the "jump scares" of entrepreneurship. 🔮
8. Horror Movie Heroes Are One Step Ahead
(Of the monster) 🏃♀️ That’s the startup grind -surviving one challenge just in time for the next!
Eventually you will thrive not simply survive peeps!
Keep moving, keep adapting, and never let the fear catch up. 🏃♂️💼
9. Ever Notice The Ones Who Make It Out Alive?
-Are nearly always the most resilient? 💀
They refuse to quit, even when zombies are breaking down the door!
In Business, be relentless. Persistence beats talent when talent gives up! 🧟♂️🔥
10. Final Dude Syndrome:
The one who survives is the one who keeps their cool.
In Business, panicking is the enemy !
Stay calm, think smart, and you’ll outlast the chaos, whether it's zombies, market changes or tax bills. 🧟♂️📉
11. THE END// 🎥
Building a Business might feel like starring in your own horror movie some days, But rewards?
Totally worth it !
Face the fears, embrace the challenges, and don’t forget to enjoy the ride, because the hero always comes out on top. 🎬💪
