How to Start a Successful Business

成功創(chuàng)業(yè)者的八個素質

What does it take to start a successful business? While there's no such thing as the perfect entrepreneur-even Bill Gates has made mistakes-----a number of personal qualities can help you to build a successful business. If you pass muster on most of these traits, you're off and running

如何成功地創(chuàng)業(yè)?不存在十全十美的企業(yè)家一一即便是比爾·蓋茨也會犯錯，不過具備一些素質能幫助你成功。如果你在以下的大部分事項中做得足夠好，那么你就擁有了一個好的開頭。

You can delegate. No matter how smart and energetic you are, it's a mistake to try to attend to every detail yourself. Unless you're a solo act, you're going to have to trust employees to do their jobs so that you can run the business.

第一，會委派工作。不論你多聰明，精力有多旺盛，事必躬親絕對是錯誤的做法。除非你唱獨角戲，不然你就得信任員工，派他們去完成工作，這樣你才有空來經營企業(yè)。

You are a teacher. In order to delegate successfully, you will need people with appropriate skills——and they may have to learn some of those skills from you.

第二，老師型。要成功委派工作，你需要有具有合適技能的人，而他們也許要從你那里學一些技能。

You are self-motivated. As a small business owner, you won't have a boss to tell you when to get to work. If that's a problem, keep your day job.

第三，自我激勵型。身為小企業(yè)家，沒有老板會告訴你什么時候來上班。如果你的工作動力是個問題的話，那還是繼續(xù)打工吧。

You can work with numbers. You will spend a fair amount of time keeping track of money-expenses, revenues, taxes and the like. A math phobia won't help.

第四，能和數字打交道。相當一部分的時間需要跟蹤資金-一開銷、收入、稅款等等。懼怕數學可不行。

You don't mind making mistakes. You will make them; the trick is to learn from them and move on. Not everyone finds that easy to do.

第五，不怕犯錯。你一定會犯錯誤，關鍵在于能夠汲取教訓然后繼續(xù)努力。這不是人人都能輕易做到的。

You like to work. Contrary to myth, you don't need to be a workaholic to start a successful business. Many entrepreneurs find that it makes more sense to establish a reasonable working pace-one that lets them strike a balance between work and their personal lives. That said, don't start a business unless you enjoy work. There's going to be plenty of it.

第六，喜歡工作。和那些創(chuàng)業(yè)神話相反，并非一定要是工作狂才能成功。許多企業(yè)家都認為建立合理的工作節(jié)奏更重要，在工作和個人生活之間建立平衡。除非對工作熱愛，否則不要創(chuàng)業(yè)，因為今后會有很多的工作。

You don't mind selling. You'll have to sell products to customers, of course. You may also need to sell lenders or other financial backers on the prospects of your company. And you'll need to convince potential employees to accept jobs with your firm rather than going to work for the competition.

第七，不介意從事銷售工作。你肯定得將產品賣給客戶。同樣，你也許需要把你公司的前景"推銷"給借款者或其他金融資助方。你還需要說服潛在雇員為你工作，而不是給對手打工。

You don't quit easily. You'll encounter obstacles that might stymie some individuals. You'll have more success if you are the type of person who relishes such challenges. A dash of optimism helps; it will help you handle the uncertainty that is part of every venture.

第八，不輕易放棄。你將會遇到可能讓人止步不前的障礙。如果你是一個喜歡這種挑戰(zhàn)的人，那么你會取得更大的成功。擁有樂觀精神會有所禪益，它將幫助你從容應對存在于每個經營項目中的不確定性。
