Achieving the Impossible

The ever eloquent and piercingly prescient Ben Thompson penned a gem in Stratechery yesterday.

He elaborated on his comparison of Spotify and Netflix.

What really struck me though was his breakdown of how Netflix went from being a pipsqueak DVD purveyor worried about getting crushed by Blockbuster to being the global content behemoth it is today with a library of over 700 original shows.

You don't just flick a switch and become the latter.

Instead you need to be able to piece together a series of (orthogonal) steps from here to the future that build on each other.

Each intermediary step should be a prerequisite to everything that follows.

That is it. That is the formula for achieving the impossible.
