How did you get to Netflix?
I’m constantly being asked, “How did you get to Netflix?”
And my answer is always simple… we worked.
No shortcuts. No overnight success story. Just consistent, intentional, behind-the-scenes work when nobody was clapping, watching, or even aware of what we were building.
But when I sat down with the beautiful Ms. Kayla Thompson of CBS WJTV in Jackson, I actually walked her through the process, and what people don’t see is this: it wasn’t one moment. It was a thousand small decisions, a thousand sacrifices, and a commitment to keep going even when it didn’t look like anything was happening.
Here’s what I want people to understand:
• Stay focused on your craft. Not the applause. Not the likes. The craft. Because your gift will make room for you; but only if you’ve actually developed it.
• Be consistent when it’s quiet. The rooms that matter are built on what you do when nobody’s calling your name.
• Stop chasing opportunities and start becoming prepared for them. What’s for you will not miss you, but you can miss it if you’re not ready.
• Protect your process. Everybody doesn’t need access to what you’re building while it’s still being formed.
• Trust divine timing. What’s for you is already aligned, you don’t have to force it, just stay in position.
Netflix didn’t happen because we wanted it.
It happened because we were ready for it.
And that’s the part people don’t always want to hear… but it’s the truth.
