Starting a business is like building a boat from scratch and setting sail. Unless you build boats for a living, expect things to go wrong very quickly. 开始做生意就像从零开始建造一艘船到它开始航行。除非你以制造船谋生，（否则）你不会希望它很快就出问题 To continue the metaphor: The problem with many would-be entrepreneurs is that they only have experience on the open water. They know how to sail, navigate and survive at sea. They’re sailors, but they don't have the skills to build their ship. They just have sailing skills. 继续这个比喻：许多想成为企业家的人的问题是他们只有在开放水域的经验。他们知道怎么航行，驾驶和如何在海上生存。他们是航海家，但是他们没有建造自己船的能力，他们只有航行的技能。 I didn’t make the decision on a whim to start my company after I was fired from my last full-time job. I was already in the right industry, had learned from some of the best minds in the business and was freelancing on the side. In other words, I had a good sense of how to build a boat and captain my own ship 我不是在离开我的专职工作后一时兴起想创立自己的公司。我在合适的行业里待过，向一些商业精英学习过并且空闲时当过自由职业者。也就是说，我知道怎么去建造船并且指挥我的船。 |
