《权力的游戏》第六季 开播
留学360介绍,这样一部奇幻的史诗巨著,在全球范围内积累了庞大的粉丝群,斩获了无数奖项和提名!到底《权力的游戏》与现实世界有什么联系呢?复杂的派系斗争离我们很远吗?还没有看过GoT的小伙伴们慎防前方剧透!
先来回顾一下前五季,从第一季到第五季描述的龙母丹妮莉丝Daenerys个人成长史是《权力的游戏》故事多条主线中最振奋人心的一条。
Daenerys的个人魅力,她貌美、勇敢、善良、谨慎,步步为营。这六季她走的很艰辛,可依靠的人总会带来失望,最终她学会了依靠自己的力量,即便这力量很小。
起步的重要性对于毕业生企业家签证(Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur) 的申请人来说,也是如此么?
好的创业想法是成功的一半
起步阶段,项目需要有足够好的创业想法,申请人需要think outside the box! Startup shall not be re-inventing the wheel ! 创业本身就不应该是单纯的重复别人的成功,“人无我有,人有我优” 是成功的法则之一。
Daenerys在《权力的游戏》中有好多quotes都是很有能量的,这也是其中之一。Tier 1 GE的申请人,你准备好要去“break the wheel”了嘛?
项目的核心资本是成功的关键
尽管Daenerys最终可能是权力游戏的赢家,但在第二季她就像是一个捉襟见肘的弱者。当时她龙群还很小,需要很长的时间长大它们才能成为生力军,引来投资。因此,这位王后艰难地试图从Qarth的商人之王那里筹集无担保贷款。
每一个创业者都需要有资本,你所享有的最宝贵的资本可能是核心的知识或技术、你的客源、供货渠道等等。仔细思考你的项目的三条龙分别是什么,充分展示你的申请项目(创业想法)的最宝贵的资本,这将是成功打动评委并获得他们的担保的重要部分。
强大的合伙人不会是鸡肋
《权力的游戏》描绘的王朝世界中,婚姻就是合并。除了龙群,单身是Daenerys最宝贵的资产,就是不轻易许人。这种谨慎得到了回报。Daenerys发现,那个曾许以她巨大财富、希望娶她的男人,那位虚伪的追求者金库里空空如也。这时,她懂得了严格审查一位潜在合伙人资产负债表的重要性。
这里给到Tier 1GE申请人的启示是:仔细审核你的合伙人并且向评审团展示合伙人的存在必要性是必须的。换句话说,你的合伙人必须是对你的申请项目有贡献的并且有价值的,Ta的存在是可以提高你的申请成功率的。因此,申请人至少要考虑三个W和一个H:
- Who is/are my business partner(s)?
- What does he/she do?
- What resources does he/she have?
- How does he/she contribute to this business?
详尽的商业计划书必不可少
话说回来,Qarth的商人没有欣然接受龙之母的推销,那也是情有可原的。一群参差不齐的追随者,渺茫的复辟希望,语焉不详的商业计划,这些都难以让风险投资人感兴趣。
这意味着,进一步能够打动评委的则是一份详细的商业计划,告诉评委你创业的动机,这个business是如何跟自己的背景相关联的,你已经做了什么,目前掌握了什么资源,日后将如何经营,财务预报是如何的,充分反映你的项目的真实性、可行性以及可持续性。
最后,当你的项目申请已经开始了,不管遇到什么困难,都不会再轻言放弃。
Then you will carry on and fight till the end
全力以赴,要打败你的目前面临的众多deadline大怪兽,然后一心一意的对待T1GE的申请。T1GE的申请并没有想象中难,想通过这个被誉为天使政策留英创业移民的小伙伴们,行动力是关键。
