Marc Randolph, who co-founded Netflix with Reed Hastings, has some simple advice for those looking to develop new business skills: Skip the books and classes.Instead, "if you really want to learn [business] skills, figure out a way that you can actively practice them by doing them," says Randolph, who served as Netflix's first CEO.
"You have to think in advance. What are my real selling points? What have they seen before. How are they are going to react?" "I want people to know that I wasn't doing anything special, that anyone could have done something like this," Randolph previously toldRandolph says aspiring entrepreneurs won't even find answers in his own book, "That Will Never Work."
