創(chuàng )業(yè)靈感源自哪里中英版
Attheheartofanysuccessfulbusinessisagreatidea.Someseemsosimplewewonderwhynobodythoughtofthembefore.Othersaresorevolutionarywewonderhowanybodycouldn'tthoughtofthematall.任何成功的企業(yè)都是以偉大創(chuàng )意為核心的。有些創(chuàng )意似乎很簡(jiǎn)單,我們不禁想問(wèn)為何之前沒(méi)人想到過(guò)。有些創(chuàng )意又太具突破性,我們會(huì )為創(chuàng )業(yè)者竟能有這等奇思妙想而嘖嘖稱(chēng)奇。
Butthosegreatideasdon'tcomeoncommand.Andthatleaveslotsofwould-beentrepreneursaskingthesamequestion:Howdideverybodyelsegetinspirationtostrike─andhowcanweworkthesamemagic?但這些偉大的創(chuàng )意并非召之即來(lái)。因此,許多想要創(chuàng )業(yè)的人都在問(wèn)同樣的問(wèn)題:其他創(chuàng )業(yè)者是怎樣讓靈感迸發(fā)出來(lái)的──我們怎樣才能創(chuàng )造同樣的奇跡呢?
Tofindout,weturnedtotheexperts─thestart-upmentorswhodiscusslaunchingbusinessesatourAcceleratorsblog,aswellasotherinvestors,advisersandprofessorswhohaveseenandheardcountlesssuccessstories,andentrepreneurswhohavewrittensuccessstoriesoftheirown.Theysawinspirationcomingfromallsortsofsources─everydaypuzzles,drivingpassionsandthesubconsciousmind.為了找到答案,我們征詢(xún)了專(zhuān)家們的意見(jiàn)──這其中有在我們的博客Accelerators上討論如何創(chuàng )建企業(yè)的創(chuàng )業(yè)導師,有其他見(jiàn)過(guò)、聽(tīng)過(guò)無(wú)數成功故事的投資者、顧問(wèn)和教授,還有親手書(shū)寫(xiě)成功故事的企業(yè)家。他們談到各種各樣的靈感源泉──日常生活中的難題、強烈的激情,還有潛意識。Here'swhattheyhadtosay.以下是他們的心得體會(huì )。LookatWhat'sBuggingYou設法解決糾纏你的問(wèn)題Ideasforstartupsoftenbeginwithaproblemthatneedstobesolved.Andtheydon'tusuallycomewhileyou'resittingaroundsippingcoffeeandcontemplatinglife.Theytendtorevealthemselveswhileyou'rehardatworkonsomethingelse.創(chuàng )業(yè)靈感的產(chǎn)生沒(méi)有什么神奇秘訣,也并非無(wú)章可循。本圖簡(jiǎn)述了九位著(zhù)名企業(yè)家各自的創(chuàng )業(yè)靈感是如何得來(lái)的。初創(chuàng )公司的創(chuàng )意通常始于一個(gè)需要解決的問(wèn)題。這些創(chuàng )意一般不是在你坐在那兒啜飲咖啡和思考生命時(shí)迸發(fā)出來(lái)的。它們往往會(huì )在你努力解決其他問(wèn)題的時(shí)候浮現出來(lái)。Forinstance,onecompanyofmine,earFeeder,cameaboutbecauseIwantednewsonmusicIlovedandfoundithardtoget.SoIcreatedaservicethatchecksyourcomputerforthemusicyouhavestoredthere,thenfeedsyounewsfromtheInternetaboutthosebands,alongwithticketdealsandotherthings.比方說(shuō),當初建立earFeeder這家公司是因為我想了解與我喜愛(ài)的音樂(lè )相關(guān)的消息,卻發(fā)現這類(lèi)消息很難找。于是我創(chuàng )立了一項服務(wù),它能在你的電腦里查找你存的音樂(lè ),然后向你提供來(lái)自互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的消息,有與樂(lè )隊相關(guān)的消息,還有折扣票和其他信息。You'reNeverTooOld創(chuàng )業(yè)永遠都不晚MarkZuckerbergwithFacebook,PaulAllenandBillGateswithMicrosoft,SteveWozniakandSteveJobswithAppleAAPL+1.42%─thosesuccessstoriesleadsomepeopletothinkthatcomingupwithbigideasisayoungperson'sgame.Butthetechentrepreneurswhorosetoearlyfameandfortunearejusttheoutliers.Thetypicalentrepreneurisamiddle-agedprofessionalwholearnsaboutamarketneedandstartsacompanywithhisownsavings.Facebook的馬克·扎克伯格(MarkZuckerberg),微軟(Microsoft)的保羅·艾倫(PaulAllen)和比爾·蓋茨(BillGates),還有蘋(píng)果公司(Apple)的史蒂夫·沃茲尼亞克(SteveWozniak)和史蒂夫·喬布斯(SteveJobs)──這些成功故事讓一些人認為偉大的創(chuàng )意是年輕人的專(zhuān)利。但科技行業(yè)年紀輕輕便功成名就的創(chuàng )業(yè)者僅僅是少數。典型的創(chuàng )業(yè)者是中年專(zhuān)業(yè)人士,他們會(huì )了解市場(chǎng)需求,并用自己的積蓄創(chuàng )辦公司。Researchthatmyteamcompletedin2009determinedthattheaverageageofasuccessfulentrepreneurinhigh-growthindustriessuchascomputers,healthcareandaerospaceis40.Twiceasmanysuccessfulentrepreneursareagedover50asunder25,andtwiceasmanyover60asunder20.我的團隊2009年完成的研究發(fā)現,在電腦、醫療和航天等高成長(cháng)行業(yè),成功的創(chuàng )業(yè)者平均年齡為40歲。50歲以上的創(chuàng )業(yè)成功者人數為25歲以下創(chuàng )業(yè)成功者的兩倍,60歲以上創(chuàng )業(yè)成功者的人數為20歲以下者的兩倍。VivekWadhwa維韋克·瓦德瓦(VivekWadhwa)Vicepresidentofacademicsandinnovation,SingularityUniversity奇點(diǎn)大學(xué)(SingularityUniversity)學(xué)術(shù)和創(chuàng )新副校長(cháng)BePresentinLife專(zhuān)注于當下Startyourbrainstormingwithproblemsthatyouarepersonallyinvestedin.Buildingabusinessishardashellandtakesthekindofrelentlessdedicationthatcomesfrompersonalpassion.從你個(gè)人關(guān)注的問(wèn)題入手,展開(kāi)頭腦風(fēng)暴。創(chuàng )業(yè)是極為艱辛的,需要在個(gè)人激情的推動(dòng)下不懈努力。Thenextbigquestionis'How?'Greatideasandinnovationscomefromexecutingonyourideainadifferentwaythaneverybodyelseisattackingit,ifthey'reattackingitatall.Agreatwaytodothisistolookoutsideofyourindustrytoseehowothersaresolvingproblems.Approachesthattheythinkareroutinemightbeoutoftheordinaryforyou─andinspiregreatideas.接下來(lái)的一大問(wèn)題是“該怎樣做”。要實(shí)現偉大的創(chuàng )意和創(chuàng )新,就要用與眾不同的方式執行你的構想(假設別人也在執行他們的構想)。有一種很棒的方法是觀(guān)察你所在行業(yè)之外的情況,看看其他人是怎樣解決問(wèn)題的。別人認為老套的方法對你來(lái)說(shuō)也許不同尋常──而且能激發(fā)偉大的創(chuàng )意。Also,mostbusinesspeopletendtoignoreourcreativesideuntilwereallyneedit.Makingsurethatyourlifehasabalanceoftheartsisagreatwaytostayengagedcreatively.此外,大多數創(chuàng )業(yè)者往往會(huì )忽視自身創(chuàng )造性的那一面,直到真正需要時(shí)才會(huì )重視起來(lái)。要想富有創(chuàng )造力地進(jìn)行創(chuàng )業(yè),確保多方面均衡涉獵是個(gè)好辦法。Thislasttipwillseeminsanelyobvious.However,intheworldwelivein,it'seasiersaidthandone:Simplybepresentinlife.最后這一點(diǎn)小建議似乎毫無(wú)新意,但在我們生活的這個(gè)世界可謂是說(shuō)起來(lái)容易做起來(lái)難:活在當下。I'msureyoucanrelatetohowover-connectedweallare.Somethingassimpleashavingacupofcoffeebecomesajugglingactofreplyingtoemailsandmanagingschedules.It'seasytomissapotentialpiecetoyourinnovationpuzzlewhenit'srightunderyournoseifyouaren'tthere.我敢肯定,你對當今世界的過(guò)度互聯(lián)也深有體會(huì )。喝杯咖啡這么簡(jiǎn)單的事情也變得像玩拋球雜耍一樣復雜,你會(huì )一邊喝咖啡,一邊回電子郵件和管理日程表。如果你不專(zhuān)注于當下,有助于解決創(chuàng )新難題的潛在線(xiàn)索就會(huì )很容易從你的鼻尖底下溜走。AngelaBenton安吉拉·本頓(AngelaBenton)FounderandCEO,NewMEAcceleratorNewMEAccelerator創(chuàng )始人兼首席執行長(cháng)IdeasAreAbundant;DriveIsn't動(dòng)力比創(chuàng

)業(yè)者能否成功的最重要因素也許并不是商業(yè)創(chuàng )意本身,而是創(chuàng )業(yè)者通過(guò)努力(以及不懈努力)將創(chuàng )意變?yōu)楝F實(shí)的意愿。好的創(chuàng )意很多,但關(guān)鍵在于我們決定如何將這些創(chuàng )意付諸實(shí)踐。SamerKurdi薩默爾·庫爾迪(SamerKurdi)Chairmanoftheglobalboard,Entrepreneurs'Organization創(chuàng )業(yè)者組織(Entrepreneurs'Organization)全球理事會(huì

)受到刺激,使靈感迸發(fā)出來(lái)。我的情況就是這樣。我的公司ClearFit(為企業(yè)提供招聘員工及預測職位吻合程度的簡(jiǎn)單途徑)的商業(yè)模式就是在我以80英里時(shí)速開(kāi)車(chē)、完全不考慮工作時(shí)從潛意識里破殼而出的。Thesubconsciousmindrunsinthebackground,silentlyaffectingtheoutcomeofmanythoughts.So,takeabreakandsmelltheflowers,becausewhileyou'reoutdoingthat,yourmindmayverywellsolvetheproblemthatyouaretryingtosolveorsparkasolutiontoaproblemyouhadn'tconsideredbefore.潛意識是在后臺運行的,悄然影響著(zhù)我們對許多問(wèn)題的思考結果。因此,不妨讓自己停下來(lái),放松一下,因為在你這么做的時(shí)候,你的頭腦很可能會(huì )解決掉你正在嘗試解決的問(wèn)題,或者讓你想出一個(gè)之前從未考慮過(guò)的解決方案。BenBaldwin本·鮑德溫(BenBaldwin)Co-founderandCEO,ClearFitClearFit聯(lián)合創(chuàng
