译文摘录:
Here’s how to tell the difference between a fakepreneur and an entrepreneur:
下文将告诉我们如何分辨冒牌创业者和真正的创业者:
You might think it has to do with how much is in the bank: You’re wrong.
你或许以为真假创业者的区别在于银行存款的多少,但这种观点并不正确。
Being an entrepreneur is about being someone who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risk to do so.
创业者的职责是管理和经营一家或多家公司,为此,他们需要比正常人承担更多经济风险。
Almost all successful entrepreneurs will tell you a story of when they had no money in the bank. Success is a function of a moment in time. Some have claimed that success is not final and failure not fatal but it’s courage that’s crucial.
几乎所有成功的创业者都曾有过身无分文的经历。成功是一个适时的契机。有人认为成功无止境,失败也并非命中注定;重要的是要有勇气玩下去。
You might be thinking that true entrepreneurship has to do with how much staff someone has. Wrong again.
你或许认为,真正的创业者与员工人数有关。这也是错误的。
There’s the starting of Facebook. Probably most people would agree that Mark Zuckerberg was an entrepreneur before he hired a member of staff.
以Facebook为例。几乎所有人都承认马克•扎克伯格是一名创业者,即便早在他尚未进行招聘之前。
You might think you can discern the truth in a stunning paperweight filled with business cards, the square footage of an office or the dazzle of a corporate website. Again, incorrect.
你或许认为通过令人惊艳的、装满名片的镇纸、办公室的占地面积和炫目的公司网站,可以区分出真假创业者。这同样大错特错。
All these things are part of a show that can be bought by anyone. They do not give clarity to the differentiation between fakepreneur and real entrepreneur.
这些只是表象,任何人都可以用钱买到这些东西。它们无法明确冒牌创业者与真正创业者的区别。
Some might even say that if you have a day job, you’re not a real entrepreneur and I disagree with this, too. Risk is relative and paying rent is responsible. To me, someone with bills to pay and mouths to feed who keeps a day job while hustling to create a new venture on the side is as much an entrepreneur as the next guy. He or she just likely has some responsibilities or a different risk profile.
有人或许会认为,如果你有一份全日制工作,你就不算是真正的创业者,对于这种观点,我同样存有异议。风险是相对的,支付租金是负责任的表现。一个需要养家糊口的人,一边做全日制工作,一边努力开创新的事业,在我看来这就是创业。只不过,他或她要承担一些责任或面临不同的风险。
The real difference is the effort and the integrity of the intention to start something, adapt, sell, succeed, fail, pivot, get knocked down and rise up. The difference lies in the why behind the actions.
真假创业者之间真正的区别在于:在开始某件事、做出调整、出售、成功、失败、发展、被击倒和崛起的过程中,他所付出的努力及其意图的真实性。区别在于一个人行为背后的原因。
Are you seeking to select a title or solve a problem?
你追求的是一个头衔还是解决一个问题?
The truth in being an entrepreneur lies in the actions and problem solving a person does.
判断一个人是否为真正的创业者,要从其行动和为解决问题所付出的努力中寻找答案。
