Rambo First Blood part 1, is a movie all entreprenuers ought invest 2 hours watching.
The key lessons is simple: The ultimate resource is creativity. It’s game winning. John Rambo single handedly defeats an army choc full of resources, through ‘creative boostrapping’. Bootstrapping which then invented new tactics the competitors didn’t even consider. Key words that come to mind are; Insight, Passion, Risk, Mind Control, Tenacity, Belief and Courage. This film should be the first lesson in any entrepreneurial learning forum. Be like Rambo and win.
25 years on this film still rocks. There are so many cool scenes I won’t ruin it here by explaining them. Better yet, go watch it, then tell us your favourite scene and why in the comments below.
My favourite scene for Boostrappers is when the Police Sargeant tells him he isn’t welcome in their town (assume this is a market place) – he ignores this advice after he is driven the city limits and turns around to walk right back into town. Classic – “Screw you”. A sentiment all entrepreneurs can relate to.
