Today’s advice comes from Cory Levy, co-founder of the mobile app One:
今天MBA小課堂的嘉賓是做手機軟件的One公司的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)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.”
“如果沒有人驗證過你正在追求的目標是否值得去做，那么也沒有其他的方法可以知道結(jié)構(gòu)。我不建議學生為了一個沒有被驗證過的創(chuàng)意而離開學校去創(chuàng)業(yè)。"

His advice to other young entrepreneurs is to get unbiased feedback on?your idea or product before committing to it full-time.
Levy還建議其他的年輕創(chuàng)業(yè)者在全職投入前要先得到對自己的創(chuàng)意或產(chǎn)品的公正反饋。

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提出建立一個小型的測試組評估你的產(chǎn)品或創(chuàng)意，為你提供盡可能的客觀意見。這么做你就會知道，你是否能夠開始你的創(chuàng)意，還是要做一些修改，或者需要重新設計。

“Products speak louder than words. Build great things and surround yourself with people smarter than you.”
產(chǎn)品本身比話語更有說服力。做偉大的事，和比你聰明的人相處。
