當(dāng)你沉思自己為何還沒(méi)開(kāi)始探索掙錢(qián)的方法時(shí),沒(méi)準(zhǔn)你的理由(借口?。┚褪巧鲜鏊姆N里的一種。你也許會(huì)自言自語(yǔ)道:
?
"Starting?a?business?is?too?complicated."?Nope.?That's?the?"no?expertise"?excuse.
"創(chuàng)業(yè)太復(fù)雜了。" 其實(shí)不然。說(shuō)實(shí)話,這個(gè)理由真是太不專(zhuān)業(yè)了。
?
"But?I?work?insane?hours,?have?eleventeen?kids,?and?a?4-hour?commute."?Granted,?you?mighthave?limitations?on?your?time,?but?you'll?always?make?time?for?the?things?that?are?mostimportant.?And?20-30?minutes?a?day?is?something?you?can?carve?outespecially?if?it'll?changeyour?life.
"我每天要瘋狂地工作,上下班就要花四個(gè)小時(shí),還有群十幾歲的孩子要看管。" 的確,時(shí)間或許很有限,但你總能為最重要的那些事留出時(shí)間。我想,一天20-30分鐘你還是可以抽出來(lái)的,尤其是當(dāng)它可能改變你的生活之時(shí)。
?
"But?I?don't?have?$10?grand?to?fund?a?business."?OK,?go?back?to?the?top?of?the?article?and?re-read?it.?Done??OK.?Repeat?after?me: "I?can?start?a?business?for?under?$100."?Say?it?again.?Andagain.?Know?that?there?are?many?ways?to?do?any?task.?Sometimes?the?first?thing?that?comes?tomind?is?some?high-falutin',?expensive?way.?Dig?deeper.?Focus?on?exactly?what?the?outcome?is,?and?brainstorm?all?the?crazy?ways?you?could?get?to?it.?I?guarantee?you'll?find?ways?to?get?itdone?on?the?cheap.
"可我連10美元都沒(méi)有,如何創(chuàng)業(yè)?"好吧,如果是這個(gè)問(wèn)題,那么請(qǐng)你回到文章的開(kāi)頭,重新閱讀一遍吧??赐炅??好的,跟我念,"100美元之內(nèi),我照樣可以創(chuàng)業(yè)",多說(shuō)幾遍。要知道,條條大路通羅馬,雖然有時(shí)候腦子里總是會(huì)先想到一些不切實(shí)際又昂貴的方法。繼續(xù)鉆研下去,將焦點(diǎn)集中于產(chǎn)出,頭腦風(fēng)暴一下你所能想到的各種瘋狂辦法。我向你保證,你一定會(huì)找到白手起家的妙招的。
?
"But?I?don't?have?any?ideas?for?a?business."?Try?this:?train?yourself?to?look?for?problems.?That'sright?—?look?for?problems?throughout?the?day,?every?day.?Jot?them?down?in?a?notebook.?Remember?that?every?problem?is?an?opportunity.?Successful,?sustainable?businesses?solveproblems.?Don't?want?to?cook?dinner??Go?to?a?restaurant.?Problem?solved.?Hate?to?iron?yourclothes??Take?them?to?a?dry?cleaner.?Problem?solved.?Want?to?find?&?stay?in?touch?withfriends??Join?Facebook.?Problem?solved. (You?get?the?idea.)
"但是我還缺少創(chuàng)業(yè)的想法"。不妨多練習(xí)練習(xí)發(fā)現(xiàn)問(wèn)題——每天的每時(shí)每刻,試著去發(fā)現(xiàn)問(wèn)題,然后記錄下來(lái)。你一定要認(rèn)識(shí)到,任何一個(gè)問(wèn)題都有可能變成機(jī)會(huì)。那些成功且持久的事業(yè)都是為人解決問(wèn)題的。不想做飯?那去餐館,問(wèn)題解決了;不想熨衣服?送去干洗店,問(wèn)題解決了;想和朋友保持聯(lián)系?注冊(cè)臉譜網(wǎng),問(wèn)題解決了。(你明白了吧?)
?
It'll?take?hard?work,?but?the?payoff?is?worth?it
雖然創(chuàng)業(yè)很艱辛,但是回報(bào)很豐厚,值了!
?
Starting?and?building?a?successful?business?takes?hard?work.?But?since?you're?reading?this,?youand?I?both?know?you?have?an?urge?for?something?better.?You?daydream?at?work?about?quittingyour?job.?You?curse?your?commute?and?wish?you?could?ditch?your?day?job.?You?feel?stuck?at?ajob?you?hate.
成功的事業(yè)在開(kāi)始建立的過(guò)程中,不下苦功夫是肯定不行的。但是鑒于你都已經(jīng)閱讀到此,你那份憧憬著更美好事物的急切心情也已經(jīng)顯而易見(jiàn)。也許你在工作時(shí)會(huì)想象自己離職的畫(huà)面,你咒罵著每天往返耗時(shí)之久,渴望有朝一日能擺脫這種生活。這份討厭的工作讓你不知所措。
?
While?starting?a?business?may?not?solve?all?your?problems,?it?can?give?you?a?completely?newworldview?that's?empowering?and?full?of?possibilities.?It?took?me?a?long?time?to?get?past?mymental?barriers?and?excuses?before?I?started?my?own?business,?but?when?I?began?taking?action,?I?started?seeing?things?change.?A?few?years?down?the?road,?I?earn?much?more,?have?morefinancial?security,?more?flexibility,?and?have?no?reason?to?complain?about?work.?It's?been?anamazing?turnaround.
也許創(chuàng)業(yè)并不能解決你所有的問(wèn)題,但是它會(huì)帶給你全新的世界觀,使你更有主見(jiàn),也帶給你無(wú)限可能。就我而言,在創(chuàng)業(yè)之前,光破除心理的藩籬就耗費(fèi)了我大量時(shí)間。但是當(dāng)我決定付諸行動(dòng)之時(shí),我驚覺(jué)很多事情在發(fā)生改變。數(shù)年之后,我賺了不少錢(qián),經(jīng)濟(jì)上有了更多的保障,處事也更加靈活多變,對(duì)工作的抱怨自然也就煙消云散了。難道說(shuō)這個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)變還不能稱得上神奇嗎?

And?while?I've?learned?a?thing?or?two?about?how?to?do?things?on?the?cheap?since?I?started?mybusiness,?I?was?still?able?to?start?my?business?inexpensivelyand?so?can?you.?Now?though,?youhave?the?advantage?of?tons?more?free?and?low-cost?tools?for?starting?your?business.?The?mostimportant?things?in?your?toolbox?are?a?bootstrapping?mindset,?a?focus?on?experimentation,?and?providing?value.
創(chuàng)業(yè)之時(shí),我還學(xué)會(huì)了一些白手起家的小竅門(mén)。即便是現(xiàn)在,讓我白手起家闖出一番天地,也未嘗不可,那么你也一樣。雖然現(xiàn)在出現(xiàn)了更多免費(fèi)或廉價(jià)的工具,讓你握有優(yōu)勢(shì),但對(duì)于創(chuàng)業(yè)來(lái)說(shuō),最重要的還是步步為營(yíng)的理念、對(duì)反復(fù)試驗(yàn)的注重、以及提供有價(jià)值之物。
