你必须是一名善于自我激励的人。

　　When you're an employee, other people tell you what to do, either directlyor indirectly. You get used to having your actions directed by others.But you have to direct your own actions as a small business owner. Youcan't just sit there and hope that maybe some clients stroll in or thatsomeone will drop by out of the blue with inventory for your retailstore. No one's going to drop work on your desk or point out what needs to be done. For many people who try to become self-employed and start businesses after having a long-term full-time job, this is the hardest adjustment to make。

　　当你是员工的时候，别人会直接或间接地告诉你该做什么。你习惯了在别人的指导下行动。但是作为小企业家你必须指导自己的行动。你不能只坐在那里，幻想着有客户会自动上门，有人会下订单将你零售商店的库存都买走。没人会将工作放在你面前，为你指出哪些事情是必须做的。对于大部分习惯了长时间的全职工作，突然想自主创业的人来说，这是最难跨越的一个难关。
