From ancient times to the present, successful people have a **** the same characteristics, that is, to see a thing, a road to the black, not to achieve the goal will never stop, that even if the failure of a thousand times 10,000 times, will get up again and continue to move forward. Successful people have always been a minority, and what they insisted on doing at the beginning of their business is not recognized by most people.
Successful people are adventurers and ambitious. It is because of them that mankind has progressed, and it is they who have opened up new horizons.
Everyone who wants to live a good life. One must begin to take risks, and the man without an adventurous character is destined to be a living tragedy.
Successful people they are hard-working, hard-learning, hard-reading, hard-thinking, can control their own destiny. Successful people have their own system and circle, they get more and more successful through the system, to obtain wealth and social status; for the average person he can only become a member of their system below, it is difficult to enter their circle.
Life is very long, but the key to a few steps, what circle you are in, what people you are in contact with, what projects you do, just a few things, you do a good job, this life is not successful nor too bad!
Successful people are basically people with backbone, what is backbone? That is to say, to start a business, immediately action, no matter how hard and tired will never give up. On the road ahead, tired to sleep, woke up to do, no day and night, no gender concept, no holiday concept. Successful people are good at seizing and utilizing opportunities, full commitment, perseverance, endure setbacks, which is a necessary quality of successful entrepreneurs. Although it is meaningful to obtain wealth, but more meaningful is in the process, constantly refining their own self-confidence, only they can put their own dignity to build up.

Successful entrepreneurs - those who end up becoming well-known entrepreneurs - have innate qualities. After years of attending conferences, engaging in collaborations, and training some well-known founders, I've found that there are a few attributes that all too often help some founder events succeed.
There are no ordinary founders, somehow they are all extraordinary, and the most successful founders usually have their own attributes. Maybe their success story describes what got them to where they are today (child prodigy, talent, etc. factors), or maybe it was their passion that set them on a better path - but I'm more inclined to think that some trait contributed to their success and made them great founders.
If you're thinking of starting a business right now, it's necessary to take a look at the nine traits that successful entrepreneurs must have in order to stay one step ahead of the rest:
1. Positive Motivation
Often we find people who chant about starting a company, starting a business, when in reality, they don't have an entrepreneurial vision. This is definitely not enough. The most successful entrepreneurs must have a passion to change the world. The entrepreneurs I've spoken to who have been able to start one business after another have a passion to change the world and, they all have a clear vision for their company. The desire to create a company is never a simple motivation (like wanting to start a business), and it's definitely hard for startups with that kind of corporate culture to survive. Startups need to have a vision, a passion and a belief that they can change the world. I guarantee that if you build a great company, reporting will follow.
If you don't have an idea or a passion for it, then I would suggest that you learn to work at some companies for a while first. Learn how to mentor a team of engineers, learn how to motivate and manage employees, and learn how to turn a concept into an actual product launch. This is also an opportunity for you to expand your network, and when appropriate, you will easily be able to launch your own projects and build a startup team.
2. Have a vision
My first job as a venture capitalist is to look at business models when they are not clear. I'll look at what's happening at a macro level and then choose the right direction to invest. Great entrepreneurs are not just about being able to see opportunities, but also having the ability to see market patterns clearly when others are still fuzzy. The opportunity lies before others see the pattern clearly. Once everyone sees it clearly, everyone can go for it. Ambiguity is sometimes a good thing, and in the midst of chaos, great companies often see the future clearly.
3. Strong beliefs
At the beginning of a business, ideas are just ideas, nothing else. All founders, however, have to have a strand of faith that their idea is the right one. They can't have doubts about their ideas, otherwise, the followers will also have doubts and will not be able to authenticate to follow the founders. Once you start a business, if there is even a hint of doubt in your mind, you will have a hard time organizing a great team to move forward with you. You need to show your conviction to others that you, and your team, will succeed.
This is a big hurdle for entrepreneurs to overcome, for entrepreneurs who just have the passion and understanding of the business model, they also need to articulate to people what they are doing, you have to be like an evangelist, clearly articulate your ideas, your beliefs. Because, you want the company to succeed.
4. Grasp the details
When starting a business, many people will say something like, "How am I supposed to do a market analysis when the market isn't there yet?" I think that when you put your time, energy and honor into starting a business, you need to know that you have put in a big, big investment. Before you do that, you need to do your own homework: you need to know what the competition is doing, how big the market is, what are the obstacles you need to overcome before you can succeed, and, what makes you successful.
What makes you successful if you can't grasp these details?
5. Be a good example
Not all entrepreneurs are great leaders. People who only talk about strategy and goals are generally only superficial leaders. Good business leaders must be able to play an exemplary role: if you are the last one to the company every day, the first one to leave, and your employees are working overtime, then your company is not long for life. But if your team sees that you are working harder than they are, they must also be willing to work with you to make the company better.
6. Don't compete with your team
Successful entrepreneurs need to remember that your success is not "your" success, but the success of your team. Find good people, give them enough credit, and recognize their success. Never take credit for your team's success. Great people want to work with great people, if you just want a mediocre company then find a bunch of mere mortals and sit on your ass.
7. Ask for advice and make decisions
The most successful founders are often able to take in the advice of others on key issues and then make the right decisions. "Listening to both sides of the story is a good thing", and a great CEO will seek advice from a variety of perspectives, then process the information gathered and make a decision. The key is to pick the right information out of a lot of relevant information and make timely decisions. It is also important to understand that "not making a decision is also a decision on his part". No one is always right, but it is important to make decisions. If it's wrong, then fix it as quickly as possible in a short period of time and move on.
8. Corporate vision
I've seen some amazing results in many companies where the founders and CEOs have infiltrated their employees with the vision of their business as a corporate culture.One of those companies is John MacFarlane, founder and CEO of Sonos, who wanted a house in which every room was filled with music, and he wanted people to be able to enjoy music in any part of the house they wanted. He wanted a house where every room was filled with music, and he wanted people to be able to enjoy the music they wanted to hear anywhere in the house. He's hired a lot of great people around the globe who have come to him purely for the vision that John has committed to.
9. Never, never, never give up
The last point, cheesy but practical, is persistence: never, never, never give up.
As an employee, I'd like to say a few words about some of my own humble opinions about bosses. A successful entrepreneur probably has a special "charisma" that makes his subordinates willing to follow him. It's as if successful entrepreneurs have a kind of natural "leadership".
1. This leadership also comes from a variety of traits that exceed those of ordinary people, such as "perseverance, patience, keen observation, analysis and control of trends, the degree of vision, dare to take risks, do not rest on the status quo to live in the comfort zone, a good circle of contacts + the ability to make friends with the self + to recognize talent"
2. p>2. Times make heroes, heroes promote the development of the times. It is said that "reading history can make people wise, identify the past can know the future". Nowadays, successful entrepreneurs such as the famous bosses "Alibaba Jack Ma, Apple Steve Jobs, New Oriental Yu Minhong, Tencent Ma Huateng" or some of our side of the small companies, tourism and entertainment, catering bosses. In fact, in their bodies have a strong **** is "can suffer, not afraid to lose"
3. A resting on the status quo, enjoy life in the comfort zone will not suffer people, is not suitable for entrepreneurship. As the average employee working in general, a total fantasy of high salary, less overtime, good relationship with colleagues, all kinds of welfare good people. It is also equally unsuitable for work.
4. Like-minded partners
Remember Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms, who lost many battles. Because of the three Guanjiu invited Zhuge Liang, as if life hangs, boiled wine on heroes, a long song when tsunami, heroic, pointing to the group; a fence, a taste of humility, pretend to be pussy not folded, they are Cao Cao and Liu Bei. They are Cao Cao and Liu Bei. They both have great talent, and they can recognize and use people. Just like the bosses of the successful business, Bole found a thousand miles of horses, to cooperate, naturally, like a tiger with wings.
5. adhere to
Find the direction, in order to "do not hit the south wall does not turn back", most of the ordinary people died today and tomorrow on the despair, did not see the light of the day after tomorrow.
6. Family support
It is very important to have good support from your family and loved ones~
What kind of people are suitable for entrepreneurship? We can look for some ****ness from the entrepreneurs who have been successful today. Focus of Jiang Nanchun, Shanda's Chen Tianqiao, NetEase's Ding Lei, Baidu's Robin Li, the famous Gates, Jobs, Page and so on have some *** with the same achievement of their career characteristics.
First of all, they are passionate but very rational, they are not simply enjoying the process of entrepreneurship, they are more for a good result. They do what they love the most, so they are able to give it their all and work extremely hard every day without getting tired. They are the best quality inspectors and improvers of their own products and services, paying attention while constantly trying to innovate.
Foreign entrepreneurs are brave enough to break with tradition because they have a good legal system to protect them; domestic entrepreneurs often need to try the "unspoken rules" of Chinese business. And no matter where you start your business, the courage to take the first step is a must for success.
If an entrepreneur can do all that and keep doing it for decades, he or she has at least 60 percent of the ingredients for success.
Entrepreneurs need to have the ability to ten
1, a strong desire
"Desire" is actually a life goal, a life ideal. Entrepreneurs desire and ordinary people desire the difference is that their desires are often beyond their reality, often need to break their current foothold, break the cage in front of them, to be able to realize.
So, entrepreneurial desire is often accompanied by action and sacrifice. It's not something the average person can do.
Because they want to get, and with their current status, position, wealth can not get, so to go to business, to entrepreneurship to change the identity, improve the status, accumulation of wealth, which constitutes the life of many entrepreneurs "trilogy".
Because of the desire, and unwillingness, and entrepreneurship, and action, and success, this is the majority of entrepreneurs started from scratch walked through the **** the same road.
Perhaps we can apply the words of a great man: "Desire is the greatest driving force of entrepreneurship."
2, beyond the imagination of the endurance
In the entrepreneurial road, pay what price, pay what effort, endured how many other people can not stand the stifling, pain, and even humiliation, this mood is only entrepreneurial people know best! How many people are willing to pay the same price as them.
To the general public, patience is a virtue, for entrepreneurs, patience is a must have character.
As the old saying goes, "If you can eat the root of a dish, you can do anything. For entrepreneurship, physical torture is nothing, mental torture is fatal, if you want to start your own business, you must first ask yourself in the heart, in the face of the full range of physical to mental torture, do you have a kind of spoiled "determination" and "spiritual power! "If not, then be careful. If not, then be careful. For some people, a lifetime of working for others, being a wage earner, is a more appropriate choice.
3, open eyes
For entrepreneurs, only really see a lot. Wide insight, open eyes, in order to effectively close the distance between themselves and success, so that entrepreneurial activities less detour.
Numerous successful entrepreneurs entrepreneurial thinking a few **** the same source.
First, career. As the saying goes, not familiar not to do, by the original occupation engaged in the sea, the laws of operation of the industry, technology, management are very familiar with the headcount, the market is also familiar with such entrepreneurial activities have a high chance of success. This is one of the most common sources of entrepreneurial ideas.
Second, reading, including books, newspapers, magazines and so on. BYD boss Wang Chuanfu's entrepreneurial inspiration comes from an international battery industry news, a newsletter like things. 1993, one day, Wang Chuanfu read in an international battery industry news, Japan announced that the local production of nickel-cadmium batteries will no longer be, Wang Chuanfu immediately realized that this will trigger the nickel-cadmium batteries production base of the international transfer of the realization of the entrepreneurial opportunity to come. Sure enough, the following years, Wang Chuanfu use of Japanese companies to withdraw from the market gap left behind, many people will be reading and leisure equivalent, for entrepreneurs, reading is work, is part of the work, must have such an awareness.
Third, the line. As the saying goes, "read a thousand books, traveling a thousand miles." Walking, walking everywhere, is a good way to broaden your horizons.
What does eye-opening mean? If you are an entrepreneur, a broader vision means that not only can you have a better start than others at the beginning of your business, but sometimes it can even save the fate of you and your business. The role of vision, not only in the beginning of the entrepreneur's business, it will be throughout the entrepreneur's entire entrepreneurial journey. "How wide an entrepreneur's vision is, how big his business will be."
Fourth, make friends. Many entrepreneurs' initial startup IDEA (idea) was inspired by their friends or simply came directly from their friends. Therefore, after the success of these people in entrepreneurship, they will be more active in maintaining contact with former friends, and make friends all over the world, and continue to develop their own social circle. By brainstorming with their friends, they will be able to constantly come up with new ideas.
The four major sources of entrepreneurial IDEAs are the four most effective ways to broaden your horizons. There is time to be sure to walk around more, talk to friends more days, read more, observe more, think more. "Opportunity favors the prepared mind", so that they "eyes wide open" is the best preparation.
4, good at grasping the trend and through the human affairs
The potential is the tendency. Have done futures people know, to make money the key is to do the right direction, this direction is the potential. Let's say, the momentum to the empty, you favor to do more; or the momentum is more favorable, you favor to do empty, you do not lose money who lose money! On the other hand, you just don't want to make money are difficult.
The potential is divided into big potential, medium potential, small potential. Entrepreneurship, we must follow the situation, to study the policy. This is the big trend. Many entrepreneurs believe that policy research "false, big, false, empty", no meaning. In fact, this is not the case. For an entrepreneur, as big as the change of national leaders, as small as a township sesame seed official's stay or go, will have an impact on their own. In terms of policy, the state encourages the development of what, what restrictions on the development of what, the success or failure of entrepreneurship has a great deal to do. Doing the right direction, along the level of national encouragement efforts, may be twice as effective; do the opposite direction, for example, a certain industry, a certain type of business, the country is preparing to limit from the policy level, elimination, you are rushing at this time, ignorant head-on collision into the, will certainly be a chicken and egg.
With the trend of the work, in order to smooth the water. Observe the government and study the policies in order to understand the general trend.
The middle trend refers to the market opportunity. What's trendy and popular in the market, what people like and don't like now, may indicate the direction of your business. If Yu Minhong hadn't caught up with the national English fever and the wave of going abroad, he wouldn't have been as successful as he is today, even if he had made more efforts, shed more tears, and sweated more.
Small potential is the individual's ability, character, specialty. Entrepreneurs in the choice of entrepreneurial projects, we must find those suitable for their own ability, fit their own interests, can play their own strengths of the project, so that it is conducive to you to do persistent full commitment. Entrepreneurship is a torturous activity, entrepreneurs should be mentally prepared to suffer.
An entrepreneur should understand the human condition. As the old saying goes, "All worldly matters are learned, and human feelings are practiced as articles." The primary purpose of entrepreneurship is to make money reasonably and legally, not to transform society. The transformation of society is to wait for you to be developed, but also need you to have that kind of interest. Entrepreneurship is not to gamble with anyone, you have to how how, have to let the other side feel you how this person how how, you feel comfortable, you that is their own for their own trip.
Entrepreneurship is a survival activity in the cracks, especially in the social transition period, the system, the legal environment is not very sound, entrepreneurs only first conform to society, in order to avoid problems in personnel joints. As a contrast, many originally very bullish foreign-funded enterprises, that local talent this is not good, that does not work, only foreign monks can read the scriptures, and now also recognize the importance of the localization of talent. Why should talents be localized? Because local talent is more familiar with the local situation, according to the "local rules" to do things, that is to say, better able to follow the local customs. Entrepreneurs must be aware of the situation, not only to understand the political and business affairs, but also to understand the world, personnel, which should be the basic quality of an entrepreneur.
5, a keen sense of business, that is, business sensitivity
Entrepreneurial sensitivity, is sensitive to external changes, especially the rapid response to business opportunities.
Pan Shiyi is now a popular figure in the shopping malls, and there are reasons for him to be popular. Who can hear an $800 million business opportunity in someone else's words, and a word across the table, from a few uninvolved people?
In 1992, Pan Shiyi was still working as a finance manager for the Vantone Group in Hainan. The Vantone Group was founded in Hainan in 1991 by Feng Lun, Wang Gongquan and others. Feng Lun and Wang Gongquan both worked for the Nande Group and were under the supervision of Mou Qi, China's richest man. In the first two years of Vantone's existence, it made a lot of money by speculating on buildings in Hainan, and in 1992, with the bursting of the bubble in Hainan's real estate market, Feng Lun and the others decided to move Vantone to Beijing, sending Pan Shiyi to take the lead.
Pan Shiyi was ordered by Feng Lun to come to Beijing with 50,000 yuan in travel expenses. "On this day, he (referring to Pan Shiyi) ate at the Huairou county government cafeteria, listening to the people eating next to him, said Beijing gave Huairou four directional fund-raising joint-stock company indicators, but no one was willing to do it. Pan Shiyi, who had spent time in Shenzhen, knew that the targets were money, and he talked to the director of the Huairou County Reform Office while he ate, saying, "Let's do one of these, shall we?" The director of the body reform office said, "Yes, but it's too late now, we have to prepare six materials and report them next week."
Pan Shiyi immediately told Feng Lun, who immediately asked him to find a head of the Beijing Municipal Commission for Physical Reform. The leader said, "This is a good thing, and your willingness to do it is active support for reform, so I can give you a few days' grace. To be a joint-stock company that raises funds in a directional manner, you need to find two 'Chinese' initiators, as required." Through various connections, Pan finally found the China Federation of Engineering Societies and the China Academy of Coal Science as the initiators. When everything was ready, Pan called Feng Lun on his 40,000 yuan cell phone and asked, "How big are you going to be?" Feng Lun said, "I need to discuss this with Wang Gongquan." Wang Gongquan said, "We're doing things now, it must be hundreds of millions of dollars."
Pan Shiyi urged Feng Lun on the other side of the phone to make a decision quickly, "This side is still waiting to report the material." Feng Lun then told Pan Shiyi on the other end of the line, "8 is the most auspicious, let's register 800 million. "That's how Beijing Vantone got its 800 million yuan in cash financing without doing anything.
This is the legendary story of Pan Shiyi's "800 million in one word". Later, Vantone lost money in Hainan, and thanks to Pan Shiyi's "listening" to the 800 million, Vantone has become what it is today. Later, the brothers split up, giving birth to Pan Shiyi's current Redstone and Modern City next to Beijing's Dabeiyao.
Pan's ability to make this kind of money was not by chance, but by his business acumen.
Some people are born with a business sense, such as Hu Xueyan, while many more rely on it to be nurtured. If you have the intention to be a businessman, you should train your business sense like a hound dog. Good business sense is the best guarantee of success for entrepreneurs.
