'雙語擴展閱讀：你不能成為一個成功的企業家的5個藉口'

1. I don’t have enough capital

我沒有足夠的資本

Many entrepreneurs start their journey to success even before they are ready to embrace the positive reactions they will receive. They know that what is important is taking action rather than sitting or waiting. A great idea and the right motivation push you to find and discover what will come out of your venture. You will never hear a successful entrepreneur say he doesn’t have the money to start out. Actually having enough capital sometimes could force you to be less creative and even nonchalant on what should be done right.

許多成功的企業家開始他們的旅程之前就已經準備好了接他們將接受的積極的反應,。他們知道,重要的是採取行動,而不是坐著或等待。一個偉大的想法,正確的動機推動你找到和發現你將面臨的風險。你永遠不會聽到一位成功的企業家表示,他沒有錢來開始自己的事業。實際上有足夠資本有時可能會迫使你那麼沒有那麼多創意,甚至對應該做什麼漠不關心。

2. I have to wait until…

我必須等到…

This sounds boring. Being a successful entrepreneur is not about waiting or taking chances. It is an independent task and along the lines you have to accept responsibility for your destination and take charge of the situation. Most times those excuses you make are just a reason not to fulfill what you really want to go after. Successful entrepreneurs don’t procrastinate. They go after what they want because they know there will never be a perfect time to start what they want and to pursue their dreams. They know that the perfect time to start is now.

這聽起來無聊。作為一個成功的企業家不是等待或冒險。它是一個獨立的任務,你必須接受為目的和情況負責任。大多數時候你那些藉口只是不去實現你真正想去的一個理由。成功的企業家不拖延。他們追求他們想要的東西,因為他們知道永遠不會有一個完美的時刻開始他們想要的東西和追求自己的夢想。他們知道現在是完美的開始。

3. What if I fail?

如果我失敗了呢?

Well what if you fail? Staying and waiting in the comfort zone of mediocrity and security is not an exact fit for an entrepreneur! They know the importance of taking chances and pursuing goals. Actually there is more thrill in the journey rather than in the rewards whether it is failure or success. Successful entrepreneurs love to take risk and try new things. They want to test waters first. With failure comes learning and experience. And this is vital to becoming the success they will certainly be.

如果你失敗了呢?住在舒適區和等待平庸和安全是完全不適合一個企業家!他們知道冒險和追求目標的重要性。實際上旅程有更多的刺激比獎勵不管是否成功或失敗。成功的企業家喜歡冒險和嘗試新事物。他們想先測試水域。失敗是學習和體驗。這是他們肯定會成功的關鍵。

4. I am too old to start

我太老開始了

Why this excuse is so terrible is that it doesn’t paint the real picture of those who started out late and still became success stories. Colonel Sanders started his journey to become the success story of KFC at age 60. Mary Kay started her success story to becoming the cosmetic giant of Mary Kay at age 45. This excuse can be so terrible because being late comes with its advantages. You have to be more creative, think faster and act better. Being late means working hard and going after your dreams with everything you have got. Because when you are late you have almost nothing to lose.

為什麼這個藉口很可怕的是,它沒有描繪出真實事實對於那些起步晚,仍然成為成功的故事。桑德斯上校在60歲開始他的事業併成功創立肯德基的故事。玫琳凱在45歲成功開始她的事業成為玫琳凱的化妝品巨頭。這個藉口可以那麼可怕,因為遲到有其優勢。你必須更有創意,想得更快,更好。遲到意味著努力工作,追求自己的夢想與你擁有一切。因為當你遲到幾乎一無所有。

5. I don’t know the right people

我不知道正確的人

Well this excuse will never be heard from a successful entrepreneur who was nurtured and grew into a digital age. No one started out knowing the right people. You had to start first and get noticed by the right people. If you sit down waiting for the right people to flock to you, you will never get started. Get on social media. There is Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Attend conferences, reach out and gain knowledge by attending seminars and workshops. Somewhere in between if you have the right energy and fire to keep on going, you will meet the right people.

這個藉口永遠不會成為一個培育和發展成為數字時代的成功的企業家。沒有人一開始知道正確的人。你必須先開始,然後再注意到合適的人。如果你坐下來等待合適的人湧向你,你將永遠不會開始。發展社交媒體。有Twitter、Facebook和LinkedIn。參加會議,接觸和獲得知識通過參加研討會和講習班。介於兩者之間,如果你有合適的能量和激情繼續走下去,你會遇到合適的人。
