Business Lessons from Nightcrawler

Now, this is not a review or a critique – I am extremely late to that party. I only watched the movie sometime last month. And I had never even heard about it prior to that, so I must have missed whatever brouhaha there might have been over it back in 2014.

Well, Nightcrawler is a 2014 thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal as the protagonist. The movie also features Rene Russo and Bill Paxton, amongst others.

At the beginning of the movie, I felt pity for Louis Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal’s character) – dude was just looking for a break, a chance to prove his worth.

As I went through the different emotions the movie had taken me through, I came to respect Louis and what he had accomplished. This led me to review his tactics and I realized the dude was quite business savvy for all intents and purposes.

These points are more like reminders that could be applied in our business lives.

By harnessing these traits, Louis Bloom went from being a petty thief to being the CEO of Video Production News and being recognized for his work.

So, there you have it…my business lessons from the movie Nightcrawler.

Like I pointed out earlier, you already know this stuff but sometimes, it’s good to have a reminder, especially from an unlikely source.

Do you agree with them? Do let me know what you think.
