It’ll take hard work, but the payoff is worth it

虽然创业很艰辛,但是回报很丰厚,值了!

Starting and building a successful business takes hard work. But since you’re reading this, you and I both know you have an urge for something better. You daydream at work about quitting your job. You curse your commute and wish you could ditch your day job. You feel stuck at a job you hate.

成功的事业在开始建立的过程中,不下苦功夫是肯定不行的。但是鉴于你都已经阅读到此,你那份憧憬着更美好事物的急切心情也已经显而易见。也许你在工作时会想象自己离职的画面,你咒骂着每天往返耗时之久,渴望有朝一日能摆脱这种生活。这份讨厌的工作让你不知所措。

While starting a business may not solve all your problems, it can give you a completely new worldview that’s empowering and full of possibilities. It took me a long time to get past my mentalbarriers and excuses before I started my own business, but when I began taking action, I started seeing things change. A few years down the road, I earn much more, have more financial security, more flexibility, and have no reason to complain about work. It’s been an amazing turnaround.

也许创业并不能解决你所有的问题,但是它会带给你全新的世界观,使你更有主见,也带给你无限可能。就我而言,在创业之前,光破除心理的藩篱就耗费了我大量时间。但是当我决定付诸行动之时,我惊觉很多事情在发生改变。数年之后,我赚了不少钱,经济上有了更多的保障,处事也更加灵活多变,对工作的抱怨自然也就烟消云散了。难道说这个转变还不能称得上神奇吗?

And while I’ve learned a thing or two about how to do things on the cheap since I started my business, I was still able to start my business inexpensively–and so can you. Now though, you have the advantage of tons more free and low-cost tools for starting your business. The most important things in your toolbox are a bootstrapping mindset, a focus on experimentation, and providing value.

创业之时,我还学会了一些白手起家的小窍门。即便是现在,让我白手起家闯出一番天地,也未尝不可,那么你也一样。虽然现在出现了更多免费或廉价的工具,让你握有优势,但对于创业来说,最重要的还是步步为营的理念、对反复试验的注重、以及提供有价值之物。
