第2單元 創(chuàng)造屬于你自己的成功
The year was 1993 and due to the recession people were losing their jobs and their homes. Katy Stiles was one of these people. She had to find a cheaper apartment and figure out a way to get back on her feet.
一九九三年時(shí)，因?yàn)榻?jīng)濟(jì)衰退，許多人丟了飯碗、妻離子散，凱蒂·史提爾就是其中一人。她得找間便宜的公寓，想辦法重新振作。
Katy was a talented graphic designer and should have had no problem finding work, but no one was hiring. She decided to start her own business. She sent a proposal to Focus, an agency that helps people start up small businesses. The agency is funded by the government and doesn’t require its clients to pay any fees for their services. This was great news for Katy. She had 15 sessions with a counselor who gave her information on finance planning, writing a strong business plan and instructed her on good business practices.
凱蒂是個(gè)有天分的平面設(shè)計(jì)師，本來(lái)找工作應(yīng)該是不成問(wèn)題的，可是卻沒(méi)人肯雇用她。她決定自己創(chuàng)業(yè)，她向一家專門在幫人開創(chuàng)小型企業(yè)的機(jī)構(gòu)“焦點(diǎn)”提案，“焦點(diǎn)”是一個(gè)政府基金會(huì)，因此他們的服務(wù)并不需要客戶付任何費(fèi)用，這對(duì)凱蒂來(lái)說(shuō)是個(gè)好消息。她與一位顧問(wèn)開了十五次會(huì)，顧問(wèn)提供她許多資訊，如財(cái)務(wù)規(guī)劃、撰寫有力的企業(yè)計(jì)劃書，并指導(dǎo)她哪些才是好的企業(yè)實(shí)例。
Now Katy has a successful graphic design company that gives its clients fantastic results. Katy had the talent but not the skills to make her own business. With a little help from the right people, Katy has been successful in meeting her goal.
現(xiàn)在，凱蒂的平面設(shè)計(jì)公司很成功，帶給顧客出色的結(jié)果。凱蒂雖然有天分，但卻沒(méi)有創(chuàng)業(yè)的技能，找對(duì)人幫上一些忙，凱蒂終于能夠成功達(dá)成目標(biāo)!
