As a young entrepreneur, I always question the relevance of advice from older businesspeople. Though I certainly believe in learning from experience, I feel advice can quickly become outdated, especially in the current connected environment. Nowadays there are several new tricks we can use to manage our time more wisely and glean only the usable information. 作为一名年轻企业家,我总是质疑老一辈企业家们所给建议的意义。虽然我确实相信可以从经验中学习,但我感觉建议这东西很快就会过时,尤其是在目前联系如此密切的环境。现如今有许多技巧可以让我们更明智地管理时间并且只收集有用的信息。 To gather relevant tips, I recently spoke with Nathan Resnick, a 22-year-old entrepreneur who currently serves as the co-founder and CEO of Sourcify, a marketplace for the world’s top manufacturers. In the past couple of years, Resnick has brought dozens of products to market, launched several Kickstarter campaigns, started a few successful ecommerce brands and been featured in leading publications such as the New York Times, Bloombergand Fast Company. Resnick started out like many other wannabe entrepreneurs, eager to apply new innovations to other industries. For example, when he was twelve, he helped implement the Autism Society ofAmerica’s awareness wristband, raising over $200,000 for the noNPRofit organization. This idea was sparked by the rise in popularity of Livestrong bracelets. |
