2012年早就过去了,连农历春节的爆竹硝烟也已经散去,每年写个人总结的事一直搁在脑子里,感觉上没什么太多可写的东西,但不写就断了这个习惯,总觉得不好。
2012年5月开始创业,忽忽一年将过,现在想起来当初刚出来时的状态,确实低估了创业遇到的困难,这期间遇到了产品延期、技术方向走偏、投资人撤资等等的问题,所幸团队一直很稳定,尽管有争吵和纠结。所以问题很多,但是我们没有遇到最致命的团队内讧,这为我们继续往前走提供了最好的基础。
所以创业者最初都是带着盲目的乐观踏上创业之旅,上路的人都相信自己只要复制过去在成熟公司的经验,把产品做出来,放上线,然后就等着收钱,等着公司扩大规模。当然每个人或早或迟都会被现实打醒,过去两年我已经目睹了不少团队解散。
看到这里也许你觉得我很悲观,事实上我很乐观,因为我们已经从这种盲目的乐观中清醒过来,继续对市场和产品、用户进行探索。每个市场都是剩者为王,在产品同质化严重的市场,我们要坚持的是做最好的产品和用户体验。产品是公司最重要的核心,在好产品的基础上谈市场和营销才有意义。
在坚持产品品质的同时,对创业团队最重要的是效率,之所以重要,是基于几个方面考虑:一、创业公司的新产品要尽快上线,不断听取用户的意见然后迅速迭代开发,拖久了对于团队士气、用户感受都会造成问题;二、创业团队基本都会拿一笔天使投资或者早期VC的投资,钱一般不会太多,这笔钱花不了太久,而且投资人一般也没那么多耐心等你慢慢来,所以在这个有限的资金和有限的时间内,要尽早做出点名堂来,做出来了就可以继续往下发展,做不出来就只能卷铺盖关门。而且一般不是产品一上线就能够一炮走红(摊上这种运气的人是上辈子积德了),需要各种调整,比如产品方向、市场方向、产品改进等等,效率高则能够留出更多的空间。
创业过程还有许多其它的东西,比如管理、财务、行政、工商、融资等等乱七八糟的事情,但是我觉得最重要的无非就是看好市场、做好产品,以及把做产品的事情做得够快。小平教导我们:要抓重点。
以上是2012年创业总结。
2012没有等到世界末日,所以我们继续努力前行,我的人生哲学是要经历真正丰富的人生,不管好的坏的对于我来说都是人生体验。《一代宗师》中说三种境界:见自己,见天地,见众生,很喜欢这句话,因为我也觉得只有见过了自己的内心,才能真正看清这个世界,才能理解众生。每每我在外面奔波时,遇到挫折时,从来不会想“”何苦呢,而是由衷地觉得自己正在奔着境界往前跑,人生正在不断丰富着、丰满着……
2013年,希望公司可以把产品做好,团队每个人可以一起成长,如果说2012年是播种,那么2013年则是要努力耕耘,争取早日丰收!

Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at siskatrance only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.
Liked how the post handled an objection I was forming as I read, and a stop at guidancehubpro similarly anticipated where my thinking was going next, the rare writer who can predict reader concerns and address them in advance is doing something most online content fails to do despite that being basic editorial work.
Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at progresswithpurpose carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.
Picked a friend mentally as the audience for this and decided to send the link, and a look at pixelgallery confirmed the send was the right choice, choosing whom to share content with is a small act of curation that I take more seriously than the public sharing most platforms encourage these days online.
Quietly the writers approach to the topic differs from the dominant takes I have been encountering, and a stop at visualharbor extended that distinctive approach, content that maintains a different perspective without explicitly arguing against the dominant ones is content with confident editorial identity and this site has that confidence throughout pieces.
Going to share this with a friend who has been asking the same questions for a while now, and a stop at peacefulstay added a few more pages I will pass along too, this is the kind of generous information that earns a small thank you from me right now and again later this week.
Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at focusforwardpath extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.
Genuinely changed how I think about a small piece of the topic, which does not happen often online, and a look at focusunlockspath added another nudge in the same direction, the kind of writing that earns a small mental shift rather than just confirming what you already thought before reading is a sign of careful thought.
