Blockbuster didn’t fail because Netflix was smarter.
It failed because comfort felt safer than change.
They had the brand.
They had the audience.
They had the opportunity to evolve.
And they still chose short-term wins over long-term vision.
In this week’s Miss Biz episode, we break down why short-term thinking is one of the most dangerous habits business owners develop; especially when things are working.
When immediate profit feels good, it’s easy to ignore what the market is quietly telling you. Until one day… it’s too late.
This isn’t just a nostalgia story.
It’s a warning.
Because the same decision pattern that wiped out Blockbuster shows up in businesses every single day:
• Avoiding change because it feels uncomfortable
• Choosing quick cash over future stability
• Delaying evolution because “what we’re doing works for now”
If you’ve ever resisted a pivot, postponed a hard decision, or prioritized today’s relief over tomorrow’s growth, this episode is for you.
