P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 45

P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导

In the winter of 1829-30, my lottery business had so extended that I had branch offices in Danbury, Norwalk, Stamford and Middletown, as well as agencies in the small villages for thirty miles around Bethel. I had also purchased from my grandfather three acres of land on which I built a house and went to housekeeping. My lottery business, which was with a few large customers, was so arranged that I could safely entrust it to an agent, making it necessary for me to find some other field for my individual enterprise.

白话

巴纳姆的彩票生意越做越大,在几个城镇设了分点,还买了地盖了房。因为生意主要靠几个大客户,流程稳定,可以放心交给代理人打理。他发现自己不必亲自盯着,于是开始寻找新的创业方向。这告诉我们:当业务模式成熟、能委托他人时,就该抽身去开拓新领域,而不是守着现成摊子。关键是要先建立可复制的流程和可靠的代理人,自己才能腾出手来。
