我是如何成为一名创业者的？
|
记住，没有哪家公司能无限期地发展下去。对于大多数行业来说，不同的规模会带来更高的效率——比如，成立一家两个人的管道公司很容易，但要成立一家1,000人的管道公司几乎不可能实现。提前充分了解公司的发展极限。软件是一个很容易扩大规模的行业，所以，这里才会诞生如此多年轻的亿万富翁。 最后，创业从来没有如此容易。你可以在学生宿舍开发出一款畅销产品，甚至无需填写任何注册文件——而对Facebook来说，这已经足够了。 我认为，创业就是一种文明的赌博。能力和不屈不挠的精神是重要因素，但运气也很重要。然而，只要你能在遭受打击过后重新站起来，进行不同的尝试，坚持学习，幸运女神终将眷顾你。你只需要有敢于冒险的勇气。 布里奇特•布拉德福德的回答，市场营销人员 成为一名创业者，更多的是一种心理状态，而不是具体的商业创意。我同意里德•霍夫曼和本•卡斯诺查的观点——创业者是把自己看作一家初创公司的人。你就是一家公司。 创业精神不仅指创立一家公司，也是指以不同的方式发展自己的职业。接受对创业精神的这种理解，也会帮助你挖掘自己的潜力，让你对自己的职业生涯产生最大的影响。 需要牢记的几点： • 进行自我投资——你可能想学习编程，但如果你的心在别处，那就不要学习编程。 • 挖掘自己与其他人的差异和长处。 • 适应市场的变化。制定计划，但要不断修改。 • 考虑周到，但不害怕风险和失败。 • 阅读《人生如创业》（The Startup of You）。 • 以创业的态度生活会助你找到最有效的方式，将自己的能力和志向应用到市场当中。 阿林•莫契斯，移动应用开发公司Mobiversal.com联合创始人 这是一个很好的问题，尤其是最后一句话。 你在问题最后提到的事实，已经让你找到了一半答案。 当其他人看到问题的时候，创业者会看到机遇，所以首先你要从发现机遇开始。一旦你发现了机遇，一定要抓住它，并开发出一套能够从中获利的系统。但在此之前，你需要有正确的态度，以下是我的一些建议： 如果执行失败，再绝妙的创意也毫无价值。因此，创意本身的价值要远远低于执行。 将最糟糕的情景作为A计划，而不是B计划。至少如果出现不好的情况，你不会感到沮丧和气馁，你将来或许会有继续挖掘另一个创意的力量。 |
Remember no business can grow indefinitely. Most industries are more efficient at different sizes – it’s easy to be a two-man plumbing company, but near impossible to build a 1,000-man plumbing corporation. Know the limits of your company well in advance. Software is an example of an industry that scales exceedingly well, which is why it creates so many young billionaires. Finally, it has never been easier to start a company. You can create a killer product in your student dorm without even registering any paperwork – that was enough for Facebook. I think entrepreneurship is a form of enlightened gambling. Skill and tenacity are big factors, but luck plays a big part. However, as long as you can keep picking yourself up when you get knocked down, try different things and keep learning, the odds are in your favor. You just have to dare to chance them. Answer by Bridgette Bradford, marketer Being an entrepreneur is more about a state of mind than having a specific business idea. I subscribe to the Reid Hoffman and Ben Casnocha philosophy that an entrepreneur is someone who thinks of themselves as a startup. You are the business. Entrepreneurship is not exclusively about starting a company. It is about approaching your career in a different way. Embracing this philosophy of entrepreneurship will help unlock your potential and allow you to make the greatest impact in your professional life. Things to keep in mind: • Invest in yourself- you may want to learn to code, but don’t learn to code if your heart is somewhere else. • Discover how you are different and better than other people. • Adapt to changes in the marketplace. Have a plan, but always be revising it. • Be thoughtful, but unafraid of risk and failure. • Read The Startup of You. • Approaching life this way will enable you to discover the best way to apply your skills and aspirations to the marketplace. Answer by Alin Merches, co-founder of Mobiversal.com What a great question, and even greater the last sentence in your question. The very fact that you mentioned this in the end at least gives you half the answer. Entrepreneurs see opportunities where others see problems, so you have to start by seeing an opportunity. When you see it, just grab it and invent a system that makes money out of that opportunity. But before you do that, you need to have the right attitude and here’s some advice: Even a brilliant idea is worth almost zero if the execution fails. So the idea itself has much less value than the execution itself. Expect the worst-case scenario as plan A, not plan B. At least if something bad happens you won’t be depressed or discouraged and possibly you will have the power to move on with another idea in the future. |
