出乎意料：创业者十大不同寻常的信念

3.Following your passion is bogus. Look for a good business model first. Your passion may be for a good cause, like curing world hunger, but it may not be a good business. In any young business, you inevitably find things that are not enjoyable, but need to be done, like cold calls or firing unproductive employees. Just doing fun things is a myth.

3.追随你的激情是不好的。首先要寻求一种良好的商业模式。你的激情或许出于一个非常好的动机，比如消除世界上的饥饿，但那或许并不是一桩好生意。在所有羽翼未丰的公司，你不可避免地会发现一些无趣的但又必须完成的事情，比如陌生推销或者解雇那些效率低下的员工。仅仅做有趣的事儿?那只是个传说。

4.It’s not about being your own boss. Great entrepreneurs aren’t interested in being bosses at all. People who crave the freedom to do what they want when they want generally make terrible entrepreneurs. In order to be a successful entrepreneur, discipline is a must, and accept your new bosses as investors, partners, and customers.

4.做自己的老板不见得是好事。优秀的创业者对成为老板压根没有兴趣。那些渴望为所欲为的人通常很难成就事业。对于成为一个成功的创业者而言，纪律是不可或缺的。你也必须接受那些新的老板，他们是投资者，创业伙伴，还有消费者。

5.Fire your worst customers. We have all had customers who take advantage of us, to the detriment of other good customers. The best entrepreneurs are quick to make the tough decisions to bypass bad customers, with proper respect, to minimize frustration, resource drain, and reputation loss. You can’t please everyone all the time.
