Netflix Co-Founder Says You Don't Need MBA Or Investors To Start A Business: 'Search For Pain... And Fall In Love With Trying To Solve Problems'
Netflix Inc. co-founder Marc Randolph on Friday shared his unique perspective on the key ingredients for business success.
Netflix公司聯合創始人馬克·倫道夫週五分享了他對商業成功關鍵要素的獨特見解。
What Happened: Randolph took to X, formerly Twitter, and in a series of posts shared his thoughts on entrepreneurship. He argued that an MBA degree, being based in Silicon Valley, or having investors are not essential for success. "What you need is a tolerance for risk. You need passion. And above all else, you need an idea," he stated.
發生了什麼：倫道夫選擇了X（前身爲Twitter），並在一系列帖子中分享了他對創業的看法。他認爲，工商管理碩士學位、在硅谷工作或擁有投資者並不是成功的必要條件。“你需要的是風險承受能力。你需要激情。最重要的是，你需要一個主意，” 他說。
Stop thinking you need an MBA.

Stop thinking you need to be in Silicon Valley.
Stop thinking you need investors.
What you need is a tolerance for risk. You need passion.
And above all else, you need an idea.
別再認爲你需要工商管理碩士學位了。
— 馬克·倫道夫 (@mbrandolph) 2024 年 5 月 31 日
別再認爲自己需要去硅谷了。
別再認爲你需要投資者了。
你需要的是風險承受能力。你需要激情。
最重要的是，你需要一個想法。
When a user asked him about how to come up with a good idea and develop the skills required, Randolph's advice was, "Search for pain. View the world as an imperfect place. And fall in love with trying to solve problems — the skills will come through action."
當用戶問他如何想出一個好主意並培養所需的技能時，倫道夫的建議是：“尋找痛苦。將世界視爲一個不完美的地方。並愛上嘗試解決問題——這些技能將通過行動來實現。”
The Netflix co-founder also said that an individual can build a functional prototype, research the market and competition, and even create a decent initial website alone, but "no matter how much you can get done on your own, at some point, you need to ask for help."
Netflix聯合創始人還表示，個人可以構建功能原型，研究市場和競爭，甚至可以單獨創建一個不錯的初始網站，但是 “無論你能自己完成多少工作，在某個時候，你都需要尋求幫助。”

Why It Matters: Randolph's latest comments align with his previous views on entrepreneurship. In April, he said that the primary motivation for working in a startup should not be about making money, but rather about solving intriguing problems.
爲何重要：倫道夫的最新評論與他先前對創業的看法一致。他在4月表示，在初創公司工作的主要動機不應該是賺錢，而應該是解決有趣的問題。
Previously, he also shared his secret to work-life balance, highlighting the importance of maintaining a personal life alongside professional commitments. "I've worked hard, for my entire career, to keep my life balanced with my job ... for over 30 years, I had a hard cut-off on Tuesdays. Rain or shine, I left at exactly 5 p.m. and spent the evening with my best friend ... nothing got in the way of that."
此前，他還分享了平衡工作與生活的秘訣，強調了保持個人生活和職業承諾的重要性。“在我的整個職業生涯中，我一直在努力保持生活與工作的平衡... 30多年來，星期二我有一個艱難的截止日期。無論風雨無阻，我正好在下午 5 點離開，和我最好的朋友共度了晚上... 沒有什麼阻礙的。”
