If it weren\u2019t so difficult, more people would keep their resolutions, and maybe more businesses would still be, well\u2026in business. Take Blockbuster for example.<\/p>\n<p>Blockbuster was created in 1985, and for a while, it had a monopoly on the video renting business. In 2000, Reed Hastings, the founder of Netflix, flew to Blockbuster headquarters to meet with Blockbuster CEO John Antioco to propose a partnership with the multi-million-dollar company. Hastings wanted Netflix to run Blockbuster\u2019s brand online and in exchange, wanted Netflix to be advertised in Blockbuster\u2019s brick-and-mortar stores.<\/p>\n<p>Antioco and his team turned down the deal. After all, they were the leaders of their industry.<\/p>\n<p>In 2004, Antioco realized his mistake. Seeing Netflix as a competitor, he tried to compete with them. Antioco removed late fees and invested heavily in Blockbuster\u2019s online platform. But in 2005, he was fired. His replacement, only seeing the $200 million dollars the company lost when Antioco banished them, reinstated the late fees.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, Blockbuster went bankrupt. As of February 2017, Netflix was worth over $61 billion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rsz_fotolia_99181923_subscription_monthly_xxl.jpg\" alt=\"Breakroom Options in Washington D.C.\" width=\"502\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rsz_fotolia_99181923_subscription_monthly_xxl.jpg 1650w, https:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rsz_fotolia_99181923_subscription_monthly_xxl-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rsz_fotolia_99181923_subscription_monthly_xxl-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sundun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rsz_fotolia_99181923_subscription_monthly_xxl-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/>A few lessons we could learn from Blockbuster are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Be open to new ideas<\/li>\n<li>Invest time, money, etc. in exploring those new ideas<\/li>\n<li>Maintain a healthy online presence<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>SunDun Office Refreshments isn\u2019t afraid to change with the needs of our Washington D.C. customers.
