如何判断你是否准备好自己创业？我想自己创业。我有很多好的创业点子，但是没有太多的实践经验。同样，我不确定我是否能够成功创业。你能不能给予我一些建议，在经验缺乏的情况下，我是否应该现在开始创业，或者我应该等待更好的时机？

How to determine if you’re ready to successfully start your own business? I want to start my own business. I have many good business ideas, but not much experience to implement them. As such, I’m not sure of my ability to start my own business successfully. Can you give me some advice if I should go for starting my own business now, even without much experience? Or should I wait?

你会发现中国市场有很多有很好创意的人，因为中国市场不如美国，欧洲那样成熟。伴随着这种情况的出现，创业的机会越来越多。因此，大部分想法并不是如你所想象的那样独特或特殊，也不是区分大多数创业成功或失败的最大的因素。决定一个新的事业或企业成功的更大程度上与对创业想法的执行力度有关。

You come across many people with good ideas since the market here is less mature compared to markets like the U.S. and Europe. With so many situations that are growing and developing, opportunities are everywhere. As a result, most ideas aren’t as unique or special as you may think, and aren’t the biggest factor that differentiates why most businesses succeed or fail. What determines the success of a new business and entrepreneur more is the ability to execute and implement your ideas.

实际上，对于那些有很好的想法并决定去创业但却缺乏实践经验的人有一个统一的称呼，那就是不成功的人。创业简单，但成功守业却非常不易，最终，那些能够坚定执行自己想法的人能获得创业的成功。

Actually, there’s a name for most people who have great ideas and decide to start a new business, but who lack experience at implementing things. They’re called, “unsuccessful.” Starting a business is easy, but building a successful one is very difficult. Ultimately, it’s the ones who are able to implement and execute their ideas who are able to build a successful business.

如果我是你，我会先花一两年时间在一家创业公司或小公司工作，从而获得一些第一手的经验并且开拓视野，明白创立并运行一个成功的公司需要哪些事物。这样做的优势是你可以学到并经历一切，包括一些错误，可能是以损失他人的利益为代价。但如果你选择去在零经验的情况下创业，你肯定会从你所遇到的各类情形以及所犯的错误中学习很多。而区别在于这些错误都是以损失自己的利益为代价的。只要你可以承担相应的后果，那可能会是一个不错的获取经验的好的方法。但是对于大多数人，我相信这一定是一个所承担代价严重的方式。

If I were you, I’d spend a year or two working in a start-up business or smaller company to gain some first-hand experience and a close up view of what it takes to build and run a successful business. The advantage is that you can learn and experience all this, including the mistakes, at someone else’s expense. If you choose to start your own business now with very little experience you’re also sure to learn a lot from your situation and mistakes. The difference is that these mistakes will all be at your expense. That can be just as good a way to gain experience, as long as you can afford it. But for most people, I believe it’s a very expensive way to learn.
