Rob Fraser: 我坚信专注力是成功的关键。在过去的十年里,我作为一名职业运动员,每天都怀揣着清晰的目标和满满的动力。退役后,我经历了一段迷茫期,因为我的身份认同感消失了。然而,这段经历让我明白,成功源于内在的使命感和动力,而这种韧性需要经历磨练才能获得。在体育生涯中,我经历了无数的失败和挫折,但正是这些经历教会了我宝贵的教训,让我在商业领域取得成功。 我将体育训练的经验应用于商业,例如,我注重准备和定位,就像赛车一样,我总是尽力做到比其他运动员更充分的准备。我学习如何应对压力,如何与人沟通和谈判,如何建立人脉,以及如何在逆境中保持前进的动力。 创业初期,我和一位合伙人共同创立了公司,但由于我们对公司未来的发展方向存在分歧,最终导致他离开了公司。这让我意识到,在创业过程中,清晰的沟通和共同的愿景至关重要。为了收购合伙人的股份,我甚至贷款了15万美元,这体现了我对事业的坚定信念和决心。 在过去的几年里,我经历了品牌更名等一系列挑战,这让我更加深刻地理解了商业的复杂性和不确定性。然而,我也从中学习到了很多,例如,如何应对法律纠纷,如何与团队成员有效沟通,以及如何保持积极的心态。 我始终相信,成功需要长期坚持和韧性,而非捷径。我鼓励年轻的创业者们要专注于长期目标,不要被暂时的困难所吓倒。同时,也要注重自身的身心健康,将家庭、事业和健康视为人生的三大支柱,并努力在它们之间取得平衡。 在设计方面,我最初注重的是解决自身的需求,后来逐渐发展到根据市场需求和客户反馈进行设计。我始终坚持以客户为中心,不断改进产品,为客户提供更优质的体验。 总而言之,我的成功之路并非一帆风顺,而是充满了挑战和磨练。但正是这些挑战让我不断成长,最终取得了今天的成就。我相信,只要保持专注,坚持不懈,就一定能够在事业上取得成功。
