埃隆·马斯克(ElonMusk)分享了几个追求成功的秘诀,有些你们或许已经听过,但却很值得再次强调。
第一,非常努力地工作:想创业的人,尤其如此。
我跟我弟弟成立第一家公司Zip2的时候,我们租了一间办公室,直接就睡在沙发上,每天跑到YMCA洗澡,而且两人只有一台计算机。
我们的网站只能在白天上线,因为晚上我要写程序。
就这样,每周工作七天,只要是醒着的时候都在工作。
第二,吸引顶尖人才与你共事:企业其实就是一群人集合在一起,创造产品或服务。
不论你要创业或进入企业工作,最重要的关键,都是与顶尖人才共事。
你应该设法加入一个优秀团队,跟那些让你佩服的人一起工作。
创业的话,更要想尽办法,找到最厉害的人才。
第三,聚焦在讯号,而非杂音:有很多企业混淆了焦点,他们花很多钱去做一些不会让产品变得更好的事情。
所以在特斯拉(Tesla),我们从不做广告,而是把钱投入研发和生产设计,不断改进产品。
我认为,每家公司都应该问自己,我们做的这些事情,到底有没有让产品或服务更好,如果没有,就应该停止了。
第四,不要盲目跟随潮流:不要以模拟方式来推理,应该从最根本的真理开始思考。
多利用这个原则来判断,你做的事情是否真的合理有意义,还是其实你只是在跟随别人?
如果你想开创新事业、开发新产品,这是最好的思考方法。
第五,年轻人,现在正是你们冒险追梦的时候:年纪越大,要承担的责任越多。
有了家庭后,你在面对可能会失败的风险时,往往还要考虑到身边的其他人,变得比较犹豫。
所以,我会鼓励你们,现在是冒险的最佳时机,有梦想就去做,保证你们不会后悔!
