5. Be Impulsive: In business, if you have a good idea, you need to move quickly to keep ahead of your competition. In the words of Bill Gates, “When you find a good idea act on it right away.”
5、保持進取。在商界,如果你有好的想法,那么你需要加快行動趕在對手前面。比爾蓋茨說過,“如果你有想法就立刻去行動”。
6. Get Ahead By Making It Personal: “Big businesses will always try to crush small upstarts. To beat big businesses, use the strengths of being small. Big corporations are impersonal; staff are often not treated well. At a small company, you can make sure your staff are proud of working for you and then they’ll work hard to be successful. And small companies are more nimble.” – Sir Richard Branson
6、通過人性化的管理走在前面。“大企業總試圖消滅小公司,想要打敗大企業,應該使用小公司的優勢。大企業通常不是個人的,員工們得到的照顧很少,而在小企業中,你可以通過人性化的管理使得他們以為你工作而驕傲,同時不斷地取得工作上的業績。同時小企業也更加靈活自如。”——理查德布蘭森爵士
7. Work Long Hours Now, Reap the Benefits Later: Ben Franklin knew the benefits of working long hours, as well as being known among his peers as being a person who worked long hours. This work ethic was essential for growing his printing business. He also had a routine of asking himself questions during the day. Ben Franklin asked himself each morning (at 5 am), “What good shall I do today?”; every night before bed (around 10 pm), “What good have I done to-day?”
7、先苦后甜。本富蘭克林知道長時間工作的益處,也成為了同輩中長時間工作的人。這個工作法則使得他的印刷事業蒸蒸日上,他經常在白天對自己提出一些問題,每天清晨5點,本富蘭克林都會問自己,“我今天最好要做什么?”,每天晚上睡覺前,大約10點,他又會問自己“我今天做了什么?”
