虽然企业的员工往往会关注一种特殊的技能或者角色,但是企业主必须为企业尽其所能。尤其是单打独斗的创业者必须是多面手,发挥多种作用,从销售、会计,到市场营销、收款,他要无所不能。如果在许多角色之间不断转换不适合你的话,创业可能也不会适合你。最近的经济衰退更使企业主深谙企业财务变得无比重要。虽然你无疑将会从实践中不断学习财务知识,但是你提前知道的越多,你就越有准备。. 5. Will I be able to avoid burnout? 我能够避免身心透支吗? Working seven days a week, losing touch with friends, abandoning old hobbies and interests and not making time for loved ones can quickly lead to burnout in the midst of starting up— and ultimately to business failure. That's what happened to James Zimbardi, an entrepreneur in Orlando, Florida, who says he didn't know any better when he started his first company in 1997 and worked as hard as possible, for as long as possible, until his creativity, enthusiasm and energy were sapped. By 2002, he was a broken man— the business took a downturn, and so did his personal life. Now Zimbardi is at work on his second company, Allgen Financial Services, and sticking to better habits to maintain work/life balance, such as not working on Sundays, making time for hobbies such as sailing and salsa dancing, and building close ties with other business owners through a faith-based support network. 一周七天整日忙于工作,与朋友失去联系,放弃原来的爱好和兴趣,无法为自己所爱的人抽出时间,这些都可能会很快导致创业过程中的身心透支──并且最终导致企业破产。这正是佛罗里达州奥兰多的创业者詹姆斯 辛巴迪(James Zimbardi)的经历。辛巴迪说,他在1997年成立自己第一家公司的时候懵懵懂懂,只会拼命努力工作,废寝忘食,直到他的创造力、热情和精力消失殆尽。到2002年的时候,他已经是一个散了架的人──企业陷入了低迷期,而他的个人生活也遭遇了挫折。如今,辛巴迪正在组建他的第二家公司Allgen Financial Services,这次他坚持保持良好的习惯维持工作、生活平衡,比如说周日不工作,为帆船和风情拉丁舞等爱好留出时间,通过一个宗教信仰支持网络与其他企业主建立密切的关系等等。 Take some time to mull over these questions, do some soul-searching, and then if you think you have what it takes, go for it. 花点时间想想这些问题,不妨进行深刻的自我反省。如果你还是认为自己具备创业所需的条件,那么就放手去干吧。 中国另有话说“读书百遍其义自见”,读书多了,一些很难懂的道理自然就会明白,这对于考生们打开思路、解答题目很有帮助。希望大家平时能够养成阅读的习惯,提高自己的托福阅读水平。 (编辑:罗伟) (责任编辑:admin) |
