Today’s advice comes from Cory Levy, co-founder of the mobile app One:
今天MBA小课堂的嘉宾是做手机软件的One公司的联合创始人Cory Levy。
“There’s no way you know if whatever [idea] you’re working on is worth pursuing if no one else is validating it... I wouldn’t advise a student to leave school with just an idea and no validation.”
“如果没有人验证过你正在追求的目标是否值得去做，那么也没有其他的方法可以知道结构。我不建议学生为了一个没有被验证过的创意而离开学校去创业。"
His advice to other young entrepreneurs is to get unbiased feedback on your idea or product before committing to it full-time.
Levy还建议其他的年轻创业者在全职投入前要先得到对自己的创意或产品的公正反馈。
Levy suggests having a small test group assess your product or idea and provide you with as objective an opinion as possible. This will tell you whether to run with your idea, make some changes, or go back to the drawing board.
Levy提出建立一个小型的测试组评估你的产品或创意，为你提供尽可能的客观意见。这么做你就会知道，你是否能够开始你的创意，还是要做一些修改，或者需要重新设计。
“Products speak louder than words. Build great things and surround yourself with people smarter than you.”
产品本身比话语更有说服力。做伟大的事，和比你聪明的人相处。
