Rob Walling: 本期节目探讨了创业过程中克服困难的重要性。Rob Walling 首先通过自身高中时期田径队的经历,说明持续的努力和克服困难才能取得最终的成功,并将这种精神与创业过程相联系。他指出,许多成功的创业者都习惯了应对挑战,而那些不愿付出努力的人可能并不适合创业。 即使在财务自由之后,找到有意义且不轻松的目标仍然具有挑战性,这需要持续的动力去克服困难。Rob Walling 认为,创业过程中会遇到各种挑战(风暴),与其逃避,不如积极面对,才能更快地解决问题。他建议创业者要直面那些令自己感到不安、压力山大、难以入眠的问题,积极想办法解决,而不是逃避或找借口。 Rob Walling 还提出了一个创业过程中的步骤:先让它工作,再让它正确,然后让它快速。他认为,创业初期应专注于让产品或服务能够运行,然后逐步改进,最终达到快速发展的目标。这与阶梯式方法相呼应,他建议创业者不要急于求成,应从小处着手,逐步提升。 此外,Rob Walling 还强调了“创始人直觉”的重要性。他认为,通过学习和经验积累,创业者可以培养这种直觉,这有助于做出更明智的决策。他建议创业者要不断学习,提升自我,了解自身的优势和劣势,才能更好地应对挑战。
