Some of the largest, most successful businesses in the world aren’t staffed in their majority by the smartest people. They are actually staffed in large part by regular, average (and sometimes, stupid) people. These successful entities have just a few people who are smart enough to standardize, automate and delegate the majority of the tasks in a way that can’t be screwed up by their average employees.

许多全世界最大最成功的公司，并未将最聪明的人作为主力。事实上，这些公司大多数员工都是普通人，有时候甚至是有些蠢的人。这些成功的公司只需要少数聪明人，他们的任务就是将大部分任务标准化、自动化并进行授权，保证普通员工在工作时不会陷入混乱。

So, being smart or talented isn’t going to help you unless you can use those smarts to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful. This isn’t easy, because it goes against everything that you have ever done and is counter to how you were taught to think. However, it is necessary for a business to succeed and why smarts and talent alone don’t predict entrepreneurial success.

所以，如果你不能利用自己的聪明才智，找出一种简化工作任务的方法，最终实现成功，那么你的聪明就不利于你创业。当然，要做到这一点并不容易，因为这与你此前的行事和思考方式截然不同。然而，这是一家公司能否成功的关键，正因为如此，仅仅具有聪明才智并不预示着创业必然成功。
