Ukusuka ekucwileni ukunyuka: Izifundo zeShishini ezivela kwiziQoqo
Fumana ibhinqa kwizithende eziphezulu emtshatweni womyezo kwaye uya kufumana ithikithi yokulungiswa kweembadada ekhwela kwikhredithi yakhe emva kweentsuku ezimbalwa. Izithende eziphakamileyo kunye neengca ezingekho mdlalo omhle. Le nto yayingumngcipheko uBacca Brown, umqambishelana wamaSolly, wathola ngexesha lokunyusa kwakhe esikolweni esiphakamileyo.
"Abahlobo bam noba ndifuna ukuthatha imifanekiso kwintshonkco kubazali bam indlu kwaye safuna ukubuyela emva kwangoko. Izithende zethu zazingena ezintsini kwaye izicathulo zam ezintsha zatshatyalaliswa nangaphambi kobusuku, "ukhumbula.
Lo ngowokuqala kweeninzi ze-goodbyes ukuya kwizicathulo ezintle. Ngenkathi ehamba kwiSikole se-Columbia Business, u-Becca watshela wakhe umhlobo, umlingana naye, kunye naye ngoku, uMnica Ferguson malunga nombono onokuthi uthintele izithende eziphezulu ukuba zingene kwindawo yengca. UMonica wayeneengqungquthela zeendinyana zakhe zeentendelezo ezonakalisiweyo, kwaye ke i-duo yanquma ukuthatha 'amanyathelo' okuqala ukudala isisombululo. UMonica wabhala isicwangciso soshishino sokuqala seSollemates njengesigqibo sokugqibela ngemali yezoshishino, eklasini babesithatha kokubili.
"Sibhale icebo elijikeleze umkhiqizo ovimbela izithende eziphakamileyo ukuba zingene ekutyeni kwaye zizinamathele," esho.
Emva kweshishini leshishini, bobabini bazimisele ukubuyela kwi-Goldman Sachs, umqeshi wabo wangaphambili, kodwa kungekudala ukunyanzeliswa kwamashishini kubetha nzima ukuba bangawunaki. Bayazi ukuba babekho into ethile kodwa ukuba inkampani yabo ayinakuphumelela ngaphandle kokuba basebenze ngexesha elipheleleyo.
Ngoko, nangona kwakungengozi, bayeka umsebenzi wabo okhuselekileyo kwiinkampani eziphezulu zeprojekthi ukuba bazincame. Abazange babuke emva.
Ukuphumelela kwangaphambili
Ngaphandle kokuthengiswa okukhulu phantsi kwebhanti labo, u-Becca noMonica babengenako ukuthengisa ii-Solemates njengeshishini elisebenzayo kubatyalomali . Ngoko ke, bazixhase ngemali yobunikazi besikhashana, ubunjineli bokuqala kunye neprototyping zakuqala.
Ngokukhawuleza babe nethemba lokuba kwakuya kutyalo-mali.
Kungekudala emva kokuba baqalise, bafumana ifowuni evela kwi-Gayle King, umlingani we- CBS Lo Mhla kunye nomhleli kwi- O, i-Oprah Magazine. UGayle wayesebenzise iSollemates kunye no- Oprah emtshatweni wangaphandle eCalifornia. Ngokuqinisekileyo, uBacca noMonica beye bawayeka iisampuli zeofisi yomhleli ngosuku ngaphambi kokuba abuyele emtshatweni.
"Wathi wayevuyiswe kakhulu ngokukwazi ukugqoka izithende ngotshani kule mtshato kwaye wayezama ukukhumbula igama lomkhiqizo awayesetyenzisileyo. Emva koko wangena eofisi waza wabona ibhokhwe enkulu yabo eofisini yakhe. Uthi 'nguMthetho woKhenketho' emsebenzini kwaye wathinteka kangangokuba wandibiza ngombala ukuba ndixoxaniswe naye ngomsakazo wakhe kwaye bafaka i-Solemates ku- O Magazine , "kuchaza uBacca.
UGayle King wayengowokuqala wabantu abaninzi abadumileyo ukusebenzisa le mveliso. UTara Lipinski wayegqoke umtshato wakhe ehlotyeni, njengoko kwenza uLauren Conrad, uAlyssa Milano, uFergie, kunye nezinye ezininzi. UDemi Lovato noRachel Platten bobabili bembatha iSigxina kwibala lebhola ye-baseball ukucula i-National Anthem ngo-2015 no-2016 World Series, ngokulandelanayo. UViola Davis noRobin Wright bobabini banxiba i-Solemates xa beka ukunciphisa ingxolo isithende esithe senziwa xa owesifazane ehamba ekhuni.
"Akuzange kudingeke sihlawule ukubekwa ukufumana abantu abasemagqabini ukuba basebenzise iSigungu. Njalo ixesha elidumileyo liye lagubha ngokuba lifuna ngokwenene umcimbi abaya kuwo, "kusho uBacca.
Abo babekwa, badibaniswe nezinye iintengiso zokuqala, banike abaququzeleli bebali ibali ababeyifunayo ukuba baphume kwaye baphakamise imali engaphandle ngaphandle kootyalo-mali . Injongo yabo yayikuphakamisa kuphela njengoko babenayo ngenkathi begcina ukulingana okungangoko kunokwenzeka kwi shishini. Kuza kube yimhla, baye bamkela i-$ 1.3 yezigidi ngaphandle kweenkunzi ezinkulu kwaye baye bachitha ezinye izibonelelo.
Imingeni yokuqala
Nangona bafumana ukushicilela okuphawulekayo kusasa, abo basunguli ababini bafumanisa ukuba banomsebenzi wabo owenzelwe wona. "Njengoko sakha le nkalo, kuthatha umsebenzi omningi ukuze abantu baqonde ithuba elikuMaslemates.
Sichitha ixesha elithile elichazayo lemveliso ukugcina abaphathi kunye nabaphathi kunye nokufumana igama kuluntu. Abafazi yonke indawo beyazi ukuba le nto yinkathazo, kodwa ukuthetha nabantu esasiye sakha isisombululo kuthatha ixesha, "kusho uBacca.

"Ekuqaleni, xa sasiqala ukukhangela i-injection molder, sabiza ngaphezu kwe-100, kwaye abaninzi babo bahleka xa besibaxelela ngcamango yethu," kusho uBacca. Abanye bathi akusebenzi kunye nabaqambi kwaye baxhoma ifowuni. Sasibekezela, sisazi ukuba siya kufumana umdlalo ofanelekileyo, kwaye sihlale sigxininise ekubeni senze njalo. Kuthatha inyanga, kodwa ekugqibeleni, safumana ezininzi ezabonakala lufanelekile, kwaye ekugqibeleni ludityaniswe kulowo esasizibona singenza umsebenzi ogqwesileyo. "
Isifundo ezimbini: Yiba lukhululekile ukuba ungakhululeki. Abashishini kufuneka bakulungele ukuzincama ngelixa befunda.

Kodwa sazi ukuba kufuneka sifumane ngubani ongasinceda ukuba ingcamango yethu kunye nezoshishino zifezeke. Ngoko saqhagamshelana nabafowunelwa nabo, sihamba ngokugqithiseleyo, sabizwa ngokubanda, kwaye sifuna ukuhanjiswa kude sifumane oko sikufunayo. Awusoze waba yingcali kwinto de uze uyenze. Xa sasiqala ukuqala iziqhelo, ezo ntsuku zokuqala, iiveki, iinyanga zokufunda zazixinzeleleke, kodwa samsheshe sifunde indlela yokubuza imibuzo efanelekileyo, kwaye sifunde ngokukhawuleza. "
Isifundo sesithathu: Fumana amandla kwinethiwekhi yakho. Ungesabi ukufuna abacebisi nokwakha isangqa sabantu abathembekileyo onokuya kuzo iingcebiso, inkxaso kunye nesikhokelo. Uthi: "Oku kuvela kumnye wethu osomali-mali, oye waba ngumsekeli kwasekuqaleni, ngeendlela ezininzi," utshilo u-Becca. "Ndixhomekeke kule ngqungqelo ngokuphindaphindiweyo kwiminyaka. Kungekudala, xa sasizama ukugqiba isigqibo sokuba sithatha ukuzaliseka kwethu ngaphakathi kwendlu, sathetha nabacebisi abaninzi kwaye safumana ingxelo yabo, kwaye sabelana ngokwabo. Kwaye kunceda ukuba ndikwazi ukuya kwabanye ba bantu, sabelane ngeenkxalabo zethu kwaye sixoxe ngezinto ezixhamlayo kunye neengxaki zokuhamba. Ekugqibeleni, senze isigqibo sokwenza oko, kwaye sesinye sezigqibo ezifanelekileyo kwi shishini lethu. "
Isifundo sesine: Musa ukwesaba ukunqatshwa. Kufuneka ube nokholo olupheleleyo kwingcamango yakho ngelixa ulungele ukugxeka. "Ngethuba sasisesikolweni seshishini, singene kwincintiswano shishini ukuba sinike iSecalates kwigumbi labagwebi. Emva kokuba sinike ingxelo yethu, indoda enye kwabaphulaphuli (ababeye bakhonza ixesha elithengiswayo), yenze igalelo kwigumbi elingenamnye umntu oza kubeka esithendeni sakhe. Sobabili sasiqhayisa, sazi ukuba loo nto yayiyinto esiza kujamelana nayo, kodwa sasiyakholelwa kwingcamango yethu kwaye sazi ukuba sinokuphumelela, "kutsho uBacca.
