一位商界明星的忠告：不落窠臼，活出自我

    这是一个与过去的自己决裂的飞跃，但这番经历成了我接受过的最好的教育。

    今天，我想给那些职业生涯刚刚起步、像我女儿莉莎一般大的年轻女性们郑重地提一个建议：不要只关注今天摆在你面前的一切。恰恰相反，你应该构想一个全新的愿景，然后义无反顾地投身其中。

    与巴里•迪勒的午餐坚定了我的信念：勇于冒险和敢作敢为是人生变革的精髓所在。正如他再三证明的那样，最好的想法很少是显而易见的。我跨出了那一步。

    随后，2008年8月，我们从IAC零售公司中剥离HSNi，并将其公开上市。一个月后，市场崩盘。

    我给每个人传达的信息是：阻挡噪音，想一想你的愿景。不要只关注近在眼前的事物。

    所以，我们不断前行。经济陷入衰退以来，我们的公司每个季度都在增长。我们正在重新定义人们对购物体验的认知。（财富中文网）

    It was a leap. But it became the best education I ever had.

    Today I try to give young women at the start of their career -- women like my daughter, Lizzy -- this advice: Don't look only at what is in front of you today. Instead, conceptualize a new vision -- and leap into it.

    That lunch with Barry Diller reinforced my belief that risk-taking and boldness is the essence of transformation. The best ideas, as he has proven over and over again, are rarely obvious. I took that leap.

    Then, in August 2008, we spun out from IAC and took HSNi (HSNI) public. A month later, the markets crashed.

    My message to everyone was: Block out the noise. Think about the vision. Look beyond what is directly in front of you.

    So we kept moving forward. We grew our company every quarter through the recession and since. And we are redefining the experience of shopping.
