Not pushing hard enough for your project
沒為項目付出足夠努力
Asana's Justin Rosenstein could have launched Google Drive in 2006, but didn't push hard enough for his project. At 22 years old, Rosenstein was working at the company and had the idea for "Gdrive," which was developed to sync files across your computers, but the idea was turned down by Larry Page.
團隊任務管理軟件Asana的創始人賈斯汀·羅森斯坦本能在2006年推出谷歌云端硬盤,他卻沒為這個項目付出足夠多的努力。當時22歲的他工作時有了云端硬盤的構思,研發出后能同步電腦里的文件,但這個想法被拉里·佩奇否決了。
Rosenstein was so intimidated, he didn't have the confidence to fight back. He writes: "I didn't have enough confidence I was right. I also didn't have the organizational capital to influence the Google Docs team, and so when I was asked to join Facebook in 2007, I left Google without completing the project. Google eventually launched an integrated Gdrive five years later."
羅森斯坦非常害怕,他沒有反擊的信心。他寫道:“我沒有足夠信心相信自己是正確的。在組織里我也沒有能力影響谷歌團隊,所以當2007年我加入臉書時,我沒有完成這個項目就離開了谷歌。谷歌最終在5年后推出了整合版的云端硬盤。”
Rosenstein learned that if you're "living and breathing" a project, you need to "understand and articulate the marketing positioning and strategy that’s unique to your project." Then, you need to fight your hardest for it.
羅森斯坦明白了如果你為一個項目付出心血,你需要“理解和明晰它特有的市場定位和戰略。”然后,你要為它付出全部努力。
