事業(yè)剛剛起步時,你會覺得在這個位置上的并不是自己。但你獲得的經(jīng)驗往往會帶來一些更有意思的東西。

莎拉·羅勃·歐哈根30歲前被解雇過兩次。

第一次是她在百貨公司Virgin Megastores擔任營銷負責人一年后,理由是“過于自大”。第二次被解職是在游戲主機廠商雅達利的營銷部門。

她說:“我甚至都不喜歡游戲。”

實際上,歐哈根在自己的領(lǐng)英主頁上以令人難以置信的坦白描述了自己的失敗經(jīng)歷。對于在雅達利的工作,她的第一句話就是“一敗涂地。”

作為Equinox健身俱樂部前總裁、動感單車健身連鎖Flywheel Sports現(xiàn)任首席執(zhí)行官,歐哈根說當時她陷入了困境但不愿尋求幫助,不過在雅達利的經(jīng)歷讓她意識到自己的可轉(zhuǎn)移技能很有價值。

不久前,歐哈根在加州Laguna Niguel的《財富》下一代最有影響力女性峰會上接受了《財富》雜志編輯帕特里夏?塞勒斯的采訪,她提出了一條簡單的職業(yè)發(fā)展建議,那就是選擇自己關(guān)心的東西。

她說:“事業(yè)剛剛起步時,你會覺得在這個位置上的并不是自己,”但你獲得的經(jīng)驗往往會帶來一些更有意思的東西。

歐哈根的事業(yè)軌跡從航空轉(zhuǎn)向零售領(lǐng)域,她先后進入了Virgin Megastores、雅達利、耐克、百事公司和Equinox。如今作為Flywheel Sports負責人,她說這是“我以往所有職業(yè)發(fā)展的交匯之處”。

Flywheel Sports本周發(fā)布了家用動感單車Fly Anywhere,從而與表現(xiàn)出色的初創(chuàng)公司Peloton更直接地展開競爭。

但歐哈根不久前表示,F(xiàn)lywheel Sports的重心不是和Peloton的家用動感單車或者Equinox旗下的SoulCycle針鋒相對,而是滿足其核心客戶群體的需要,這部分客戶是參與高強度競賽的運動員,最關(guān)心的是可計量性。

歐哈根工作過的一些企業(yè)曾登上《財富》最受贊賞公司排行榜,而且有幾家多次上榜。在創(chuàng)立受人熱愛的品牌方面,她想和大家分享自己最主要的三條經(jīng)驗:

  • “為一些顧客做出精彩表現(xiàn),而不是為許多人表現(xiàn)平平。”以航空業(yè)為例。沒有人會為某一家航空公司感到激動,或者對它特別忠誠。歐哈根說這源于這些品牌對待顧客的方式。
  • “不要被競爭分散注意力。”相反,歐哈根說要繼續(xù)全力以赴地為核心客戶創(chuàng)新。
  • “不要去看[顧客]有怎樣的行為,而要知道其中的原因。”歐哈根說,雖然許多人都認為動感單車是一種健身方式,但看看人們鍛煉身體的動力就會發(fā)現(xiàn)不同點。SoulCycle的動力源于其社交性,F(xiàn)lywheel Sports的目標群體則是希望進行自行車比賽的人。(財富中文網(wǎng))

Sarah Robb O’Hagan got fired twice before she turned 30.

The first time was after one year in the lead marketing position at Virgin Megastores for being “too cocky.” The second time she found herself unexpectedly out of a job was after she’d been working in the marketing department at Atari.

“I didn’t even like video games,” she said.

In fact, O’Hagan has been incredibly frank about her missteps on her LinkedIn page. Her description of working at Atari starts with: “EPIC FAIL.”

The former Equinox president—now the CEO of Flywheel Sports—said she was in over her head and unwilling to ask for help, but that the experience at Atari led her to recognize her valuable transferable skills.

In an interview with Pattie Sellers at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Next Gen Summit in Laguna Niguel, Calif. on Tuesday she offered some simple career advice: Pick something you care about.

“Early in your career, you think you’re in this place that isn’t you,” she said, but the experiences you acquire often add up to something more interesting.

O’Hagan’s trajectory took her from the airline industry to retail at Virgin and Atari to Nike, PepsiCo, and Equinox. As for her current position as the head of Flywheel Sports, it’s “this intersection of everything my career has been building towards,” she said.

The company is announcing an at-home bike system this week called Fly Anywhere, putting it in more direct competition with rising startup success Peloton.

But O’Hagan said Tuesday that rather than going head-to-head with the indoor exercise bike company or with SoulCycle (which is owned by Equinox), Flywheel is focused on catering to a core consumer group of hyper-competitive athletes who are most interested in accountability.

After working at a number of companies that have appeared on the World’s Most Admired list — some more than once — she wanted to share three of the biggest lessons she’s learned about creating a brand people will fall in love with:

  • “Be spectacular for a few consumers, not average for many.” She pointed to the airline industry as an example of what not to do. No one is excited by, or particularly loyal to, any one airline and she said this comes from the way the brands treat customers.
  • “Do not get distracted by the competition.” Instead, O’Hagan said, continue to relentlessly innovate for your core consumer.

“It’s not about looking at how [consumers] behave, it’s about understanding why.” While many people think about cycling as a modality, differences emerge when you look at the what motivates people to exercise, she said. The SoulCycle experience is driven by the social aspect of the workout, while Flywheel targets participants who want to race against each other.
