有这10种毛病的创业者难成大器

    6.无计划性

    时间管理是成为一名企业家至关重要的一环。虽然一天有许多个小时，但为了更有效率，在开始一天的工作之前，你应该清楚自己有哪些目标和任务需要完成。如果每天你都在仓促地制定计划，就会遇到麻烦。请在每一天的结束前就定好第二天的任务清单。

    7.害怕作出改变和适应新环境

    你需要愿意并且有能力调整你的计划及整体策略，因为将来你有很大的可能会需要适应环境的变化，才能持续立于不败之地。想象一下，如果苹果公司（Apple）从不适应变化，只是埋头生产电脑，结果会怎么样呢？自从发售了iPod后，苹果就开始生产智能手机和平板电脑，现在又在推广自己的第一款可穿戴技术产品Apple Watch。这家曾经只经营电脑业务的公司，现在已然成为消费电子行业的巨头。

    8.雷声大，雨点小

    成功的企业家不会无所事事或夸夸其谈。他们制定、执行并努力完成计划。光说不做是无法获得任何成就的，光靠嘴皮子也无法给他人留下深刻印象。

    9.眼里只有钱和小数点

    不要一味追逐金钱，而要把注意力放在创造产品和服务上，这样才能让你别树一格，独具价值。如果你坚持创新，自然会财源滚滚。如果我说我开公司不为赚钱，那么我一定是在说谎。但专注于为顾客提供出色的服务，将会为你铺平生财之路。

    10.被失败打倒

    大多数数据显示，八成的新企业都以失败告终。成功的企业家在做任何事情时，都清楚会有失败的可能性。若真的失败了，他们也不会轻言放弃，而是将此视为自身成长的一部分，继续努力奋斗。

    詹姆斯•戴森就是一个绝佳的范例，他之前研制的5,126台吸尘器原型都宣告失败，但是第5,127台就成功了，这款机器最后成为美国最畅销的吸尘器。戴森现在身家45亿美元，因为他从不允许自己被失败击倒。（财富中文网）

    6. Wake up without a plan

    Time management is a crucial part of being an entrepreneur. There are only so many hours in a day, so to be efficient you need to know what your goals are and what tasks you need to get done prior to starting your day. If you are scrambling to create a plan of attack every day you are going to be in trouble. End each day by mapping out the following day’s to-do list.

    7. Be scared to make changes and adapt

    You need to be willing and able to adjust your plan and overall strategy, because there is a very good chance that you will need to adapt to maintain success in the future. Imagine if Apple AAPL -3.25% never adapted and just stuck to making computers? After releasing the iPod it started manufacturing smartphones, tablets and now are releasing its first wearable technology, the Apple Watch. Once just a computer company, it is now a consumer-electronics powerhouse.

    8. Let your bark be bigger than your bite

    Successful entrepreneurs don’t sit back and talk about what they are going to do. They plan, follow through and conquer. Nothing is going to get accomplished just by talking about it, and nobody is going to be impressed with words alone.

    9. Focus solely on dollar signs and decimal points

    Instead of chasing the money, focus on creating products and services that make a difference and provide value. If you do this, the money will come. I would be lying if I said the goal of my company wasn’t to make money, but focusing on providing a great service paves the path for the money to follow.

    10. Let failure stop you

    Most statistics state that eight out of every 10 new businesses fail. Successful entrepreneurs go into everything knowing that there is a chance of failure. If in fact they fail it is viewed as part of their growth and they keep plugging along.

    James Dyson is a perfect example, as his first 5,126 prototypes were failures, but the 5,127th one worked and went on to become the top-selling vacuum in the U.S. He is now worth $4.5 billion because he never once let failure stop him.
