Building up a company or enterprise as an entrepreneur is more than a job, it’s a lifestyle. If you’re to have the will and the determination to build your brand identity over many years, including through tough times, then it’s good to have a little inspiration sometimes.

Please note that some of these movies may only be temporarily featured on Netflix Canada. But the beautiful thing about Netflix is that some movies make a comeback—you just have to be patient.
