How to start a business from scratch

Too many friends are asking the same question, which shows that these friends at least subconsciously think that they don't have much venture capital, such as capital, contacts, team and technology. There may not even be a specific project plan, just feel that something needs to be done. Because I am not more stupid than others, even more passionate, more energetic, and more courageous and determined to go through fire and water to overcome all difficulties. As long as I decide what to do, I will do it with all my strength, right?

if this is the case, then you may need to know a few questions first.

If you want to start a business, personally, you should first understand three questions.

The first question: What is starting a business? Countless people are talking about starting a business, but many people can't clearly explain what starting a business is. This is a very dangerous thing. If you can't clearly know what you are going to do, you can't guarantee that everything you do is in line with the development significance, let alone that the gap between reality and ideal will subvert the previous outlook on life and values.

The so-called entrepreneurship is simply a sentence: "Realize what you want", which can be any kind of pursuit. But at present, the whole society is talking about economic development, and wealth has almost become the only measure of success. Therefore, what people are talking about now basically refers to the creation and accumulation of wealth. It is a process of value transformation and a series of behaviors that combine thinking, action and application to achieve the ultimate expectation.

All entrepreneurial behaviors bear the dreams and hopes of entrepreneurs, but it will also be the biggest hardship you have ever encountered. Not only do you need to devote all your passion and squeeze all your potential, but you also need perseverance and perseverance, as well as continuous learning and reflection. Before you succeed, you will face heavier workload than before, more difficulties that you can't shirk, more pressure and responsibility, and more leisure and entertainment. Just like the online saying, "Get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, eat worse than pigs and do more than donkeys ...".

even if this is not enough, we should practice to find breakthroughs, avoid risks and find fault with ourselves; But also with humility, patience, determination, perseverance, love, worry to melt into a clever and exquisite heart; You must also master the "larded school" and turn a blind eye to other people's white eyes, red eyes, snobs and other things that may shake you; You still have to practice iron fist skills, and you have to face up to any difficulty.

You may choose to start a business because you have to do it under the pressure of livelihood, because you want to change the status quo and have a better quality of life, because you can make your own decisions without being bound, or just because you are addicted to it. But no matter what your motivation, you must first understand that there are risks at all times when you start a business!

the risk of starting a business is directly proportional to the investment, and how much you invest, how much risk you bear. Even worse, the situation after failure may make people even more embarrassed and sad than before starting a business.

If you start a business with all your money, you must be mentally prepared for nothing and have the ability to bear relevant responsibilities. Please remember a sentence: "prepare for the worst and try your best."

If the consequences of the worst outcome are unbearable for you, or even cause great blow and destruction to your original life, please don't start a business in a hurry, and settle down and look for opportunities and projects that are really suitable. Many times, what not to do is more important than what to do. If you stay in the green hills, you are not afraid of burning firewood. Please don't have any gambler mentality in starting a business.

Yes, this is starting a business. Although its vision is beautiful, it is by no means a relaxed and enjoyable process full of uncertainty. Having said that, it may not be a happy thing to start sailing and pursue your dreams, even if it is hard.

so, are you really fully prepared for starting a business?

second question: why start a business? Everything is based on a motive, which is a goal, a beacon and a compass for a series of actions in the future.

So, before you get ready to start, you must settle down and think about why you started your own business. Don't want to work all your life? For a better life? Create more wealth? Or is it to reflect the value of my life?

not only do you want to understand the initial motives, but also think about them further. What did you create these motives for? To enjoy a better life with my family? Is it because you didn't get the respect and reward you deserve before? Or is it because of some desire that runs through your life all the time? After understanding it, you are sure that you want to create your own life in such a way, so write it out and read it carefully every day, so that it can become your belief and pursue it firmly. Don't underestimate this kind of behavior, which is probably the first secret of your success. When countless successful people sum up their experiences, "persistence" is the word with the highest frequency. Dreams that really come from the soul are worth sticking to for a lifetime, which is also a kind of responsibility for yourself.

no matter how ambitious or insignificant your goal is, as long as you don't break away from reality, violate the law and discipline and be enemies of human beings, then don't care about other people's eyes. Whether you want to be a successful entrepreneur or a handmade shoemaker, anyone who has a dream and keeps working hard for it deserves respect.

(It is very important not to forget the original intention. People's life is very short, and it is easy to be influenced by the outside world. Many friends can't help feeling when they walk. They seem to be lost, and they can't find their original self again. The once close relatives and friends are getting farther and farther away. Such feelings are actually a pity. What you cherish before you go deep into the rivers and lakes and your mind is relatively pure may be what you need to care for most in your life, but it may be the most easily overlooked. This has nothing to do with how to acquire wealth, but it has something to do with the fullness of life, so please pay attention to it! )

the third question: how to start a business? This is a big question, because everyone's preferences, style of behavior, resources, abilities, goals, and entrepreneurial environment policy factors are different, so there is actually no unified standard answer to this question.

in fact, in today's era of rapid economic development, as long as you do anything to the extreme or reach a height that others can't easily reach, wealth will follow. Even if it is not directly related to wealth creation, and you don't know how to use it to create wealth, those businessmen and enterprises with extremely sensitive sense of smell will come to cooperate with you. In reality, there are even a small number of "extreme" special cases, which become famous by scolding people, challenging people's nerve bottom line, and pretending to be stupid. There is no doubt that these people have done things that others dare not, don't want to or disdain to do, but they are also rolling in financial resources. From the perspective of creating wealth alone, these people are successful.

So, don't misunderstand that starting a business is just doing business. It is actually a bigger concept. From this perspective, starting a business is not complicated, just do what you like, but you must do it to the extreme. If you are not sure, please proceed with caution!

However, most people have no special talent or ability, so they can only start their own businesses in a relatively common way. However, if the word "simple start-up" is really realized, especially for first-time entrepreneurs, it is a very hard and difficult thing.

As mentioned earlier, entrepreneurship is a process of value transformation. The transformation of value needs some conditions, and many professionals have summarized it. From subjective spirit to objective conditions, Lin Lin has summarized all the necessary factors, but it may not help the real needs of most people who want to start a business. For example, funds, everyone knows that doing things requires funds, but what can I do without them? There are also skills, contacts, experience, education, etc. What if these are not fully available? I have read the most exaggerated article, saying that one of the prerequisites for starting a business is enterprise management skills. How many people have mastered this skill before starting a business? In China, at least 51% of entrepreneurship is based on survival needs. It is impossible for every entrepreneur to have perfect conditions, and even some of them are full of blood. How can you get experience without starting a business? You can't consider starting a business without a high degree and business management skills?

So, personally, there are only two core conditions for starting a business, and there is no need for any cost. My humble opinion, if it is a fallacy, please laugh! )

the first core condition: have a dream and have a firm belief in it. If you are not sure about your dream, or if you have a dream that fluctuates and often changes, then don't try to start a business, and the probability of failure will be quite high. Because you lack a clear goal and don't know what you really want, you will not be able to devote yourself wholeheartedly to the process of starting a business, and confusion will occupy your thinking space at any time.

If you already have a dream that can be quantified concretely, and you need to consider starting a business based on survival, then you should be doubly firm in this belief. Because your current situation may have fully explained that all the ways and means of income sources have failed to bring you an ideal living situation, and may even become more and more sad. If you want to have a decent life, you must achieve it through entrepreneurship. The road to starting a business is bumpy. Without a firm belief, you may give up at any time under the pressure of reality or lack of confidence.

the second core condition: a deep understanding of entrepreneurship. Most entrepreneurs are troubled by all kinds of basic conditions for starting a business, and even feel that many of them are out of reach, and it is impossible for them to realize their dream of starting a business. Yes, there are many conditions to start a business, but the most important ones are only two or three. If you can deeply realize it, you may not have to pay a lot of money to have it.

1. resources, as I mentioned earlier, entrepreneurship is a process of value transformation. You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. If you want to convert the value, you must have something to convert. Resources can be tangible goods such as commodities, land, objects, etc., or intangible existence such as knowledge, skills, information, concepts, contacts, prestige and inspiration. Some people may say that I have no other valuable resources except full of fighting spirit and blood. Then I can tell you that these are your resources, which can be turned into wealth as long as they can be used reasonably.

In fact, everyone has more or less their own resources that can be developed and used. Dante famously said, "There is no real garbage in the world, only resources that have been misplaced."

So you should learn to fully understand and explore all kinds of resources around you. If you don't know how to know each other, please take out paper and pen to make a rough statistics. The first is the first sequence of resources, which come from yourself, such as the knowledge, information, skills you have (even online), people you know, and even great ideas, including your own needs; The second sequence comes from people you know, counting their talents, fields, positions, networks, influence and needs (because this group is close to you, their resources are easier to be transformed into your own resources, learn to tap and use the resources around you, and so on, if your resources are enlarged by n times); The third sequence is what other relatives and friends of these relatives and friends have, as well as some local specialties and the most common local needs that have not been well solved. After statistics, you may find that the resources that can be used directly or indirectly are actually considerable. As long as there are resources, there is the possibility of transformation.

if you see here, you still feel foggy. Then think about the two most common industries around us: real estate agency and matchmaking agency. Real estate agencies collect all the information of owners who need to sell houses and rent houses, and then provide them to customers who need to buy houses and rent houses. A deal is reached and everyone is happy. The same is true of matchmaking, which collects information about singles who need to find a spouse and lets the customers choose.

this is a typical way to run your own business with other people's things and needs. Do you understand? Resources don't have to be their own, they can exist in any form, but you should learn to know it.

2. Learn to explore business opportunities around you. Many friends who want to start a business, in fact, don't have to browse the information of getting rich on the Internet every day, look for business opportunities, and even visit projects all over the world.

First of all, we should understand a concept. All business activities are based on "supply and demand", and demand is business opportunities. Choosing a business is best to choose a project according to a local demand, and don't easily listen to the market analysis of various franchisees. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, eating, drinking, Lazarus, sickness and death, entertainment and leisure, etc., can be said that business opportunities are everywhere. A friend teased, let alone people's needs. Even the needs of dogs and cats have a one-stop service system of beauty, health care, catering, medical treatment and funeral. Where can there be opportunities for ordinary people like you and me?

is that really the case? Obviously not, the society has been developing and constantly bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new. Give a few real examples, a friend of migrant workers who is doing decoration (for a long time, I can't remember the name of the protagonist, so I apologize. ), squatting at the gate of the construction community to smoke in his spare time, was invited by a couple who wanted to buy a house for reference, and gave some professional advice on the construction quality and future decoration of the house, and got a reward of 151 yuan in half an hour. Originally, it was agreed to pay 111 yuan, but because the couple were particularly satisfied, they gave it to 51 yuan. In the following days, this migrant worker friend has been thinking about it, and finally resolutely resigned and set up a firm specializing in this service, resulting in an annual income of millions.

For another example, Li Ye, born in 1981s, has a barbecue shop with a size of less than 21 square meters at home, and the reception capacity is extremely limited. After thinking hard, she went to sell barbecues online, and tapped the hidden needs of consumers to the maximum extent, making a profit of more than one million a year. Later, she began to copy many times and actively applied for the qualification of chain operation.

Another example is post-91s Wang Ziyue, who came from Jincheng, the hometown of paper-cutting. When she was still in high school, she found that traditional paper-cutting was beautiful, but it was inconvenient to stick up and easy to break. Later, he invented magnetic paper-cutting and applied for a patent. Not only did it keep consumers' interest and sense of achievement in paper-cutting, but it also extended to a wider application field, and it won 311 thousand in less than a year.

There are countless such lists. The protagonists in the above cases don't have more and more special resources such as contacts, funds, education, information, etc. than others. They just pay attention to the market demand around them and provide corresponding products or services. The migrant worker friend discovered the lack and demand of buyers for housing construction and decoration knowledge, while Li Ye discovered the extended demand of consumers, so as to design and provide more perfect and intimate commodity structure and services; Everyone knows that paper-cutting is not suitable for pasting and easy to be damaged, but only Wang Ziyue has improved it, and this improvement is not attached to high technology. These needs have been around us for a long time but have been ignored.

please remember: all obstacles that others regard as limitations and troubles may be the beginning of your brilliant career. Therefore, the question is not whether there are business opportunities, but whether there are thoughts and minds to discover and create business opportunities. If not, then start training now, find all the troubles around you, and then think about how to solve them.

3. Correct development concept. Personally, apart from faith, this one is the most important. There are no resources to organize and create, and there are no business opportunities to look for, but without a correct development concept, even if there are resources, they don't know how to use them rationally, and there are business opportunities that can't be really grasped.

As mentioned earlier, entrepreneurship bears the dreams and hopes of entrepreneurs. In that case, then sue.
