過去簡單式

And I started with, how do I make $100 million in 12 months?

我的出發點是，如何在 12 個月內賺到 1 億美元？

From what I remember from our conversations about drinks, you upped the goal to $1 billion in 12 months.

我記得在我們關於飲料的談話中，你把目標提高到了 12 個月內達到 10 億美元。

And so what I did about 10 years ago is I started journaling to envision like what it was I wanted to get out of my life.

大約十年前，我開始寫日記，設想我想從生活中得到什麼。

And I think where I made the biggest breakthrough, I wasn't using the journal no longer to write down what I wanted.

我認為我取得最大突破的地方在於，我不再用日記來寫下我想要的東西。

I was writing, I was using the journal process to write down how do I get what I want?

我在寫，我在用日記的方式寫下如何才能得到我想要的東西？

And I think that was the biggest breakthrough that I had.

Whereas, and you think about it a lot, is that a lot of people when they're thinking in their mind, they're always asking themselves, why?

而你仔細想想，很多人在思考問題時，總是問自己，為什麼？

為什麼我對自己的身體不滿意？

為什麼我對自己的銀行賬戶不滿意？

I deliberately bought a new notebook and I started with, how do I make $100 million in 12 months?

我特意買了一臺新筆記本，一開始就想，如何在 12 個月內賺到 1 億美元？

And when I first started, back to the point, like how?

當我剛開始的時候，回到正題，比如怎麼做？

It was not, why don't I have $100 million?

不是，為什麼我沒有 1 億美元？

比如，我怎樣才能拿到 1 億美元？

And I thought, let me be really cheeky with myself and say, in 12 months.

我想，讓我厚著臉皮對自己說，12 個月後。

And by the time when you saw me, I also thought it was a crazy, crazy thing to try and do.

當你看到我的時候，我也覺得這是件瘋狂的事情。

But the funny thing is that by doing three or four sessions like that, I actually figured out a way to do it and then ended up doing it.

但有趣的是，通過三四次這樣的訓練，我真的找到了方法，並最終做到了。

So when you saw me, I had no hope or belief whatsoever that it was possible, but it was just like a fun thing to do.

所以，當你看到我時，我根本不抱任何希望，也不相信這是可能的，只是覺得這是件有趣的事。

Like, I could watch something on Netflix, I could go to the cinema, or I could just sit in a cool cafe and try and solve this ridiculous, crazy question.

比如，我可以在 Netflix 上看一些東西，我可以去電影院，或者我可以坐在一家很酷的咖啡館裡，試著解決這個荒謬、瘋狂的問題。

And what surprised me is that the more and more I did this kind of exercise, I would start to solve these problems.

令我驚訝的是，這種練習做得越多，我就越能解決這些問題。

Okay, so you started out with $100 million in one year, you executed that.

好吧，你一開始就想在一年內賺到 1 億美元，你做到了。

I believe you then upped the goal, from what I remember from our conversations over drinks, you upped the goal to $1 billion in 12 months.

我相信你後來提高了目標，根據我記得的我們在酒桌上的談話，你把目標提高到了 12 個月內達到 10 億美元。

No, it didn't happen completely, but it came super close.

不，雖然沒有完全實現，但已經非常接近了。

So we started a company called iFlix, and literally within two years of starting the company, the company was worth $500-600 million within 24 months of starting the company.

於是，我們創辦了一家名為 iFlix 的公司，公司成立不到兩年，24 個月內身價就達到了 5-6 億美元。

But what was interesting is that when I was doing the journaling for iFlix, I literally set myself the goal of, how do I make this a billion-dollar company?

但有趣的是，當我為 iFlix 寫日記時，我真的給自己設定了一個目標：如何讓這家公司成為一家市值十億美元的公司？

如何在 24 個月內實現這一目標？

And at the time, I thought it was crazy, but I thought, you know what, if I'm not going to be crazy, I'm never going to figure this out.

當時，我覺得這太瘋狂了，但我想，你知道嗎，如果我不瘋狂，我永遠也不會想明白這一點。

If I just keep doing the same thing that every other entrepreneur does, then I'm never going to get a crazy outsized result.

如果我只是一成不變地做著其他創業者都在做的事情，那麼我永遠也不可能獲得瘋狂的巨大成功。

And what was interesting is that we came up with a crazy plan, shared it with the team, you know, they got behind it.

有趣的是，我們想出了一個瘋狂的計劃，與團隊分享，你知道，他們都支持這個計劃。

And so to the point, what was funny is that we didn't hit the billion-dollar goal, but we hit a $500 million goal.

說到這裡，有趣的是，我們沒有達到 10 億美元的目標，但我們達到了 5 億美元的目標。

Man, damn, that's pretty damn good to hit the goal.

天啊，能打進這個球真是太棒了。

So one of the things like you read, like sometimes like set the goal so far ahead that even if you only hit half your goal, it's still pretty damn good achievement.

所以，其中有一點就像你讀到的那樣，有時就像把目標定得很遠，即使你只實現了目標的一半，也是非常好的成就。

Right, it's like that quote, aim for the stars and maybe you'll land on the moon.

對，就像那句話說的，瞄準星星，也許就能登上月球。

And this is kind of how you play the game of life.

It's some people, their goal is to climb mountains, your goal is to take companies public.

有些人，他們的目標是翻山越嶺，而你的目標是讓公司上市。

I believe right now you have taken five companies public.

我相信現在你已經讓五家公司上市了。

Now, there was a moment though when the dot-com bubble burst.

現在，網絡保麗龍破滅的時刻到了。

When you had started, so Patrick started a search engine in Asia, I believe it was called Catcher.

當你開始創業時，帕特里克在亞洲創辦了一個搜索引擎，我相信它叫 "捕手"。

Catcher, and when the dot-com bubble burst, he basically was on the verge of losing everything.

當網絡保麗龍破滅時，他基本上處於失去一切的邊緣。

Tell us that story, how you rebounded, because that's a pretty cool story.

給我們講講這個故事吧，你是如何反彈的，因為這是個很酷的故事。

Okay, so what happened is that we woke up one day literally with four million dollars in debt.

好吧，事情是這樣的，有一天我們醒來時，真的欠下了四百萬美元的債務。

The three, whatever, 300 staff went to 30 staff within one afternoon.

在一個下午之內，300 名工作人員就減少到了 30 名。

We had to cut four countries, cut all the staff.

我們不得不裁掉四個國家，裁掉所有員工。

You know, it's really tough saying, I'm like, I'm really sorry, like, I don't know what's happened to your life savings.

我真的很抱歉，我不知道你的畢生積蓄怎麼了。

你知道，我當時的心情真的很糟糕。

You know, I would go to bed every night, literally hoping that like my building that I lived in would blow up while I was asleep.

你知道，我每天晚上睡覺時，都希望我住的那棟樓會在我睡著時爆炸。

Like I wouldn't have to wake up to face the world tomorrow.

就像我明天不用醒來面對這個世界一樣。

And I stumbled across a book called Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins, bought the book, went home, read it like literally, it was one of those, you know, you ever have a book where you just can't, you just can't put it down.

我偶然發現了安東尼-羅賓斯寫的一本叫《無限力量》的書，我買了這本書，回到家，就像字面上的意思一樣讀了起來。

And the book was kind of exactly what I needed at that point in time because I hadn't given up, but I just didn't have the mental and the physical strength to keep going anymore.

而這本書正是我當時所需要的，因為我並沒有放棄，只是我沒有精神和體力再堅持下去了。

Like, you know, my dream had to be an entrepreneur and I'd seen that completely collapse.

比如，你知道，我的夢想是成為一名企業家，但我看到這個夢想徹底破滅了。

I was on the front page of the newspaper, you know, there was literally a headline saying dot-com bust, big photo of me.

我上了報紙的頭版頭條，你知道，頭條上赫然寫著 "網絡保麗龍破滅"，還有我的大照片。

And, you know, my poor mother had lost her life savings backing me.

而且，你知道，我可憐的母親為了支持我，失去了畢生的積蓄。

And so you just didn't have the mental strength or clarity to even like, how do you get out of this?

是以，你沒有足夠的精神力量，也不清楚該如何擺脫困境。

And then I read the book and, you know, straight away, it just gave me such a great blueprint on how to be more effective in the way that you use your brain, the way that you vision things, the questions that you ask, the way you communicate with yourself.

然後我讀了這本書，你知道，它直接給了我一個偉大的藍圖，告訴我如何更有效地使用你的大腦，你看待事物的方式，你提出的問題，你與自己溝通的方式。

And I literally went from there and executed everything and kind of over an eight-year period, you know, now we have 3,000 people across 30 countries.

我從那時起開始執行一切，歷時八年，現在我們在 30 個國家擁有 3000 名員工。

My mom got back all her savings, you know, and it's been such a beautiful experience.

我媽媽拿回了她所有的積蓄，你知道，這真是一段美好的經歷。

If you've never journaled, then just first get out all the bullshit in your life in the journal and then start to like, what do you want out of life?

如果你從來沒有寫過日記，那就先在日記中寫出你生活中所有的廢話，然後開始想，你想要什麼樣的生活？

And then start to how do I get that life?

然後開始思考如何獲得這種生活？

Put on some good music, go to a beautiful place, and just commit to just do one session in a cool cafe somewhere.

放點好聽的音樂，去一個美麗的地方，在某個涼爽的咖啡館裡，只做一節課。

And I think that you'll start to get addicted to it and you'll find it such a beautiful therapeutic experience.

我認為你會開始沉迷於此，你會發現這是一種美妙的治療體驗。

And what you start to find is really different.

而你開始發現的東西真的與眾不同。

You start to write the story of your life.

And I'll tell you what's been mind-blowing because I've been doing this process now for 10 years.

我來告訴你什麼讓我心潮澎湃，因為這個過程我已經做了 10 年。

Sometimes I would write like, okay, what is like, what is Patrick's life in 10 years look like?

有時我會寫，好吧，帕特里克十年後的生活是什麼樣的？

And I just write it, blah, blah, blah, like just crap, right?

我就這麼寫，胡說八道，就像廢話一樣，對吧？

And it's so freaking scary because I'd go back and read what I wrote and like, it's like a 90% success rate.

這太嚇人了，因為我回過頭來看我寫的東西，好像成功率只有 90%。

Like all the crazy things that I've written down have actually ended up coming into my life.

就像我寫下的所有瘋狂的事情最終都進入了我的生活。
