Jen Glantz:我并非一开始就计划多元化经营,而是因为好奇心和高效的工作方式,在全职工作之余发展多个项目。大学学习诗歌专业,毕业后不希望过标准化生活,渴望多元发展,但最初并不知道具体方向。我的第一个副业是一个博客,虽然最初没有盈利,但它为后续发展提供了机会。保持内容创作的持续性对建立品牌信誉至关重要。自我负责和按时完成目标能带来成就感和验证,即使没有外界的赞扬。在情绪低落时,灵机一动在Craigslist上发布了“婚礼伴娘出租”的广告,由此开启了我的事业。“婚礼伴娘出租”服务并非婚礼策划,而是提供婚礼当天及之前的各种个人助理和情感支持服务。通过这项工作,我对人性、爱情和婚姻有了更深刻的理解,观察到“婚前恐惧症”是真实存在的,许多人结婚并非纯粹出于爱情,还可能包含其他因素。为了婚姻的成功,应该在婚前进行充分的沟通和准备。寻找副业的关键在于思考自己经常被要求做的事情、擅长的事情以及自己喜欢做的事情。关注日常生活中遇到的问题,可以帮助找到商机。最初定价过低,建议根据自身价值和市场行情调整价格。成功的营销需要差异化,利用新兴平台和媒体,并创造有价值的免费内容。参加James Altucher的“Make You A Millionaire”节目,让我尝试了更多新的事物,拓展了视野。Kickstarter平台是一个不错的产品发布平台,但仍然需要进行有效的营销推广。拥有导师的指导对创业者至关重要,一位86岁的导师教会了我坚韧和抗压能力。不要过度思考,而是先行动起来,边做边调整。一个成功的婚礼需要注重音乐、食物和酒水,并且避免债务。婚礼致辞应该简洁明了,重点突出新人的关系,并考虑听众的感受。伴娘伴郎有权拒绝一些力所不及的要求。 Chris Hutchins:多元化经营,而非专注单一目标,可以获得成功。
