Learning（译文）延时符从成功企业家那里我们所学到的当我们开始我们自己的小生意时，哪些挑战是我们真正需要面对的，我们怎样才能克服这些困难呢？如何才能坚定信念？成为企业家又将收获什么呢？

我正在为我的博客“相信自己”采访成功的企业家们。迄今为止，我已经为这个系列采访了十三位企业家，写了十篇文章（其中三篇每篇写了两位企业家）。他们都创建了极具个人色彩的盈利企业。他们大多有自己的博客，或至少有自己的网页，但是他们所处的行业却大不相同，从电子商务到宠物保险公司。他们当中有男人也有女人，有年轻人也有老人。12Text

Learning（译文）延时符

这些企业家有共同特点吗？我想是的。这篇文章回顾了他们对于我的两个标准问题的回答，探究他们之间的主题，这样我们就能够从他们如此坦率地拿来与我们共享的错误和成功中学到一些东西。

当作为新的企业家开始创业的时候，你面临的最大挑战是什么？

缺少资金，缺乏销售/营销知识和自我怀疑是他们面临的三大挑战。接下来就是缺乏商业规划，有关员工和商业伙伴的管理问题，时间管理和多重任务，等等。根据所从事的商业的种类不同，投入到商业的资本也不同。不过，即使是一个人的企业，钱都是一个大问题。一些我采访的对象向我描述了白手起家、自力更生的艰辛，我猜想，没有提到这个问题的那些人可能也面临过相同的挑战。3456Text

Learning（译文）延时符由于缺乏销售和营销知识，资金的问题变得更加严重。许多新的企业家有从事所在行业的技术，但是没有把他们的产品和服务通过有效的方式带到他们的目标客户跟前的销售技巧。他们努力去界定自己的目标客户（斯蒂芬），找到合适的定价（苏珊娜）。他们可能没有太多人脉（莫尼卡）。哈里说：“我们有自己需要的技术和商业知识，但对于怎样付诸实施却知之甚少。”

自我怀疑是阻碍许多有抱负的企业家的一个大问题，即使在他们勇敢创业后，它仍在继续干扰着许多人。克里斯蒂娜说：“我认为自己还不够好。”贾森说：“很容易有片刻的自我怀疑。‘你疯了吗’是我的脑子里经常反复冒出的一个问题。”78Text

Learning（译文）延时符

我们怎样才能扭转局面、克服恐惧呢？

克里斯蒂娜说，缺少资金对她来说实际上帮了她的忙。她说：“我想开始兼职经营手头的生意好多年了，但是因为我没有想要它们成功，它们就没有成功。当我辞去工作别无选择时，我知道我必须成功。”她利用匮乏的条件激励自己，并把精力集中放在生意上。斯基普建议道：“钱在起步阶段是统治者，但把重点放在筹资上从来不是我所喜欢的方法。我宁愿‘自力更生’，这表明我能够在没有投资者的情况下也能争取到客户，创造价值。”

销售需要很大的勇气和技巧。资金匮乏并由此产生做大生意的迫切需要，让新的企业家鼓起勇气，并谦虚学习新的销售和营销技巧。詹姆斯说：“作为一个企业家，不仅仅为了谋生而工作。突然间你需要身兼数职，成为每件事的专家，从销售人员到客户服务代表……”1211109Text

Learning（译文）延时符

克服自我怀疑也是这样。从来没有完全有保障的事情。从商是一个持续不断的挑战，甚至成功的企业家也会经常自我怀疑。然而，成功的企业家能把恐惧放在一边继续前进，因为他们知道回报大于恐惧。

对你来说，作为一个企业家的最好地方是什么？

尽管采访嘉宾们提到创业时各抒己见，但关于创业的回报，他们的看法很一致。他们可能会用不同的词汇描述，但大多可以归结为三点：自由、信心和贡献。

大多数采访嘉宾都提到了可以随心利用时间的自由，可以做自己喜欢做的事情并将其做好的自由。托尼说：“自由是一种驱动力……我喜欢在做我选择的工作的时候，我也喜欢成功到能拒绝我不想做的事情……”他继续表达对自由和责任的看法，他说：“如果我必须为一个傻子工作，我还不如为自己工作。”13141516Text

Learning（译文）延时符信心来自真正地克服困难。作为企业家，我们逐渐认识到我们能够做我们梦想的事情。詹姆斯说：“知道我们能够实现我们想要的任何目标并且有信心去这样做，是世界上最好的感觉。”我们把以前不知道的潜能拓展出来。克里斯蒂娜说：“作为一个企业家最好的一面是你能看到商业和生活中的更多可能。突然间，一切皆有可能。”

能够帮助别人，通过工作或其他能对社会有所贡献的感觉，对许多企业家也是必要的。他们当中的许多人通过创业去帮助别人，而贡献感本身就是给他们的最大回报之一。劳拉说：“这是老生常谈，但从无到有进而解决人们的问题的成就感，无与伦比。”1718Text

Learning（译文）延时符我们怎样快速步入企业家的行列？

我想借用娜奥米曾经说过的一句话来结束这篇文章：“我曾经从一本杂志中读到，你永远也不会做好100%的准备去要孩子。如果你认为你100%地准备好了，你就会错过一些东西。这同样适用于企业，如果等你100%地准备好，在你动手之前你已经死了。做好80%的准备，尽最大的努力去追求。”企业对于企业家来说就像一个孩子。我们需要做好准备迎接挑战，如果我们真的想要拥有一个企业，就必须在那个时间点放手一博。希望这篇文章能在你通往成功企业家的征途中激发你的灵感，指明你的方向。192021Text
