Work or start a business
After living in Tianya for so long, I found that many of my friends are very conflicted about starting a business. They have the passion to start a business alone, but at the same time they are worried about failure. What a tragic fate! So many friends thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to wait and see. One month passed, one year passed, and the years passed, and time was gone. I was immersed in the working life and couldn't extricate myself. Marriage proposal Housing, the financial shackles on my body became increasingly heavy, and I was unable to fight anymore. In the end, I had to accept my fate and work for the rest of my life.
Wenzhou people in China are known as the richest people in China. I know several young friends in Wenzhou. When they were still in college, they had different ideas. Their favorite words were: " "I would rather sleep on the floor and be the boss" or "I would rather make only 1,000 yuan a month in business than 3,000 yuan a month working part-time." These concepts are believed to be what their elders warned them in life, and have subtly become the principles for doing things in their hearts.
These principles are some concepts, which are very different from the thinking concepts in many other places. Even if there are similar choices now, I estimate that many friends will make the opposite choice. But this concept is very advanced. It is this concept that makes Wenzhou people unique and become the richest people in China.
"Things determine the way out"! ! !
Many people have heard this sentence, but forget it in a blink of an eye, but the facts around me verify this truth at any time! There is a female classmate in my university who is the only Wenzhou native in the class. She is rather ugly and does not pay much attention to her studies. Her parents run a leather shoe factory, so they are relatively well off. She was in the middle and lower grades every time she took exams in the class. She had some money and liked to show off and was cool, so her male classmates didn't chase her and her female classmates looked down on her. But this girl likes to brag that she will buy a BMW within five years after graduation and give it to her future husband as a wedding gift. Others think she is being mean and hate her even more.
But this girl’s behavior is different. Others are busy taking exams, passing exams, studying for postgraduate exams, and improving their knowledge base so that they can find a job in the future. What she dislikes most is studying, and what she likes most is being at the gate of the college at night. I set up a street stall and brought in some low-quality gadgets from the surrounding small commodity markets. I shouted loudly and sold them, but I didn't make much money. Later I started selling candied haws on my own. When I didn't make any money, I bought a pressure cooker and popped popcorn at night. The kind that costs two yuan a pot. , she continued to live like this until she graduated, and actually heard her say that she had earned nearly 20,000 yuan in four years of college.
After graduation, she went directly to Silk Street in Hangzhou without looking for a job. With the help of relatives, she opened a small store. Three years later, she was said to have become rich. She even drove a Honda to attend a class reunion. Five years have not yet come, but many classmates began to believe her original promise to give her husband a BMW car.
What does this real-life example illustrate?
It shows that this girl’s ideas are relatively advanced. Others have gone to great lengths to take the postgraduate entrance exams, study, and take exams, but she is determined to do business and does not even think about working in the future. As a result, a few years after graduation, After 20 years, she became a so-called successful person, while other students in college who had much higher overall quality than her either earned a salary of one to two thousand a month, or had just graduated from graduate school and were struggling to find a job.
This is why different choices determine different fates, and different ideas determine different ways out!
This girl has mediocre intelligence, average personality, and ugly appearance. But the only valuable thing is that she has advanced ideas. She is determined to start her own business and persists in doing it better than those who have passed the master's degree or doctorate. All the classmates are promising. Let’s go back to Wenzhou and Sichuan people in the 1980s.
Wenzhou farmers and Sichuan farmers in the 1980s were among the earliest people to start their own business. The way Wenzhou farmers made their way into China was by repairing umbrellas, pens, iron pans, or reselling some groceries, and in short wandering around. The way for Sichuan farmers to make a living is to go directly to Guangdong to work. Those who dared to venture out in the 1980s were courageous, because at that time information was underdeveloped, transportation was inconvenient, and people had a deep fear of the outside world. Sichuan people and Wenzhou people both have courage and courage, but due to different ideas, they have embarked on different paths to wealth.
Twenty-nine years have passed, and Wenzhou farmers have become the richest people in China. They have mastered the most imported business skills in China. Their wealth can even allow their descendants to go abroad and do business in Europe; The first generation of Sichuan farmers have withdrawn from the stage of history. Most of them continue to live a poor life in their hometowns in Sichuan. Their younger generations follow in the footsteps of their parents and continue to flock to Guangzhou to accept the cruel exploitation of the bosses and become members of the society. The poorest category of people.
What does this mean? Due to the different choices of the parents, it not only affects themselves, but also affects their descendants! The hard work of farmers in Wenzhou has completely lifted themselves and their descendants out of poverty, while the hard work of farmers in Sichuan has brought endless sorrow and poverty to their descendants.
Things determine the way out, and it has been verified again!
There is an economist among Zhejiang people, who is amazing. He summed up the work philosophy of Zhejiang people: "I would rather be an entrepreneurial wolf than a working dog." Of course, this is very extreme. Many part-time workers My friends are not willing to listen to it, but if we think about it carefully, this man’s words really make sense.
In order to seek freedom, wolves prefer independent personality and free thinking. They run on the prairie every day, hunt cattle and sheep wantonly, and enjoy all the delicious food provided by nature as much as possible. After eating, they lie down On the grass, they don't think about anything, just enjoy the sunshine and free air. They are the masters of the grassland, and they have dignity. However, when the severe cold comes, they must learn to resist the coldness of blizzards, learn to find prey under thick snowdrifts, often endure the pain of hunger, and worry about dying of freezing and starvation at any time. The life of a wolf can be said to be half sea water and half fire.
The life of a dog is just the opposite. Usually the dog can only eat the scraps left by the owner, and is ordered to work everywhere by the owner. There is no freedom, no dignity, only wagging its tail and begging for mercy. The life of a dog is guaranteed. , although they never have anything delicious to eat, they don’t have to worry about starving or freezing when winter comes. With the protection of their owners, the dogs are grateful and swear to remain loyal to their owners in the next life. Even if the owners beat and scold the dogs wantonly, the dogs Most of them dare not say a word, because obedience and tameness are the hallmarks of dogs. Compromising is the label of dogs. In order to have a stable job and have a fixed ration when they grow old, they accept everything!
If we compare people in real life, it is estimated that most of us live a dog's life, stable and comfortable, but never enough to eat. We want to leave the owner's kennel, but lack the courage to commit suicide. !
I feel that in reality most young people’s career choices are to be working dogs rather than entrepreneurial wolves. Many friends may say, where can students who have just graduated from school have the capital and experience to start a business? The best option is to work in a company for a few years, save some experience and capital, and then start your own business if you have the opportunity a few years later.
In fact, this idea is proved to be very wrong. After a few years of working in a company, a college student will not only be unable to earn the money needed to start a business, but also unable to learn the experience and skills of starting a business.
What you learn during your working life is basically useless for starting a business, because the two have different perspectives, different ways of thinking, and different experiences. It can only be said that after working for a few years, the only thing you will improve is your part-time job. Technical skills, and the last thing you need to start a business is technical skills.
What’s even more frightening is that after working for a few years, young people generally lose the passion to start a business, lose the courage of newborn calves not to be afraid of tigers, and become more and more addicted to the work unit and find it difficult to extricate themselves. Later, the idea of ??starting a business will only disappear. It can stay in my heart forever and become a permanent regret. When I was over 40 years old and was fired by my boss, I regretted why I didn’t start my own business 20 years ago!
So are the requirements for being an entrepreneurial wolf high?
My answer is: As long as you have the idea of ????being an entrepreneurial wolf, you can still start a successful business even if you only have 100 yuan in your pocket!
How much money did the Wenzhou people of the earlier generation have when they started doing business? Isn't it the first money I made by exchanging eggs for iron pots? If you only have 100 yuan in your pocket, you can at least set up a street stall. You can sell socks and gloves in the winter and pineapples in the summer. When you have enough funds, you can set up a barbecue. Anyway, no matter how little money you have, you can still go. The key to embarking on the road of entrepreneurship depends on whether you want to be an entrepreneurial wolf?
Working life and entrepreneurial life are definitely different.
As time goes by, the personalities of workers and entrepreneurs will become increasingly different.
We ask ourselves, friends who have worked for a long time often feel more worried about gains and losses, afraid of the unfamiliar world outside, afraid of the danger of unemployment, and their hearts become more and more sensitive and fragile. Not only did the mentality gradually become tired and lazy, but the whole person also lost his vigor and spirit. He had no choice but to comfort himself and be content with his contentment and be indifferent to fame and wealth. But life has become more and more mediocre, the financial burden on the family has become heavier and heavier, and the house and children's education have become increasingly tighter and tighter, making it difficult to breathe. I have to adjust my mentality and let myself go. I have gradually adapted to my position as a little reptile in the city. I am a mediocre person to begin with, so why should mediocre people bother themselves? Getting rich is other people's business, and we don't have that fate.
The first thing that scares you the most is hearing the news that the company is not performing well and will lay off employees. The most important thing is to establish a good relationship with the leader, insist on learning to flatter and flatter, and do as the Romans do. My mind is numb and I have no choice but to follow the crowd. After all, the job is in the hands of the leader or boss. If he wants you to get out, you have to get out.
The second thing that scares me most is to see that as I get older, my work skills have not improved at all. Although my salary is getting higher and higher depending on my seniority, I see that my salary is getting higher and higher. Those new young college students who have come in are working vigorously for only a small salary. The boss’s beatings are ringing in their ears. Seeing that young people eat less and work more, you old revolutionaries are getting worse as you get older. No wonder, the result of working life is that the older you get, the more your value depreciates. Especially in the 40-50 age group, it is simply the most miserable stage of your career. You are always on the verge of an abyss, like walking through a minefield, and you are often laid off and unemployed.
Some people say that the past 10 years have been the peak period for the layoffs of blue-collar workers, and the next 10-20 years will be the peak period for the layoffs of white-collar workers. Are you an elite if you have ever gone to college? As society continues to progress, your knowledge structure, physical fitness, and career concepts have long been inferior to those of freshly graduated college students. The boss is realistic and will definitely take the lead in laying off white-collar workers in their 40s and 50s when faced with a crisis.
So you have a stable job now and you feel safe. In fact, there is a time bomb beside you. After more than 10 years, it will explode. You will suffer the pain and cost of unemployment at that time. I'm afraid it will be 100 times crueler than now.
So what are the personality traits of entrepreneurs?
I have a close relative who is now a billionaire. He is 39 years old. It turned out that he was a retired soldier. Later, when he entered a state-owned unit as a professional, he was always criticized at first. He had a strong personality and immediately resigned and chose to work in the sea.
Ten years later, he had a family fortune of over 100 million. When our relatives got together during the Spring Festival, he told me: "XX, you are the most highly educated in our family and you teach at a university. Tell me what your annual income is." I answered honestly: "The annual income is not enough. 50,000 yuan”. He continued: "I have observed a phenomenon. The employees who worked for me in the company were better than me in high school, so the ones with the worst academic qualifications were technical secondary schools. I worked really hard for three years in high school, but I failed I couldn't pass the technical secondary school entrance examination, so I had to join the army. Therefore, I have always respected those educated people and thought that they were highly intelligent and capable of working. But now I am their boss and provide them with jobs. This is unexpected. My surprise."
Why is this?
He went on to analyze: "I think a person's success in unemployment depends on the three quotients, which are what we usually talk about: IQ, EQ and courage quotient. But for a real talent, the importance of his three quotients should be Arranged like this: Courage is first, EQ is second, and IQ is third. The so-called talents cultivated by current Chinese education are very one-sided. They are only superior in IQ, but EQ and courage are not included at all. The people eliminated by schools may contain a large number of business talents. Therefore, China's education, especially higher education, is largely a reverse elimination. Most of the graduates produced are mediocre people with high scores and low abilities. Although they are smart, they are weak. Timid and unsociable, his ability to survive in society is naturally very low."
I was shocked after hearing what my relative said. What he said seems to make sense!
I thought about it carefully, and it seems that this is indeed the case. Those who are brave often have an advantage over smart people in the competition for survival.
Smart people are often timid, while courageous people are often not very smart.
Another interesting phenomenon is that people who read more books are smarter, but people who read more books tend to be less courageous and like to think twice before doing anything. People who read less like to act first and think later, but these people who are strong in action often succeed first.
From the perspective of IQ, the group of people with the highest intellectual level in China are often the so-called masters, doctors, and professors. Most of them work and live in universities, but these so-called smartest people in China The overall income level is not high. Nowadays, the normal annual income for a doctorate in a university is 50,000 yuan, for a master's degree, 40,000 yuan, and for professors, most of them will not exceed 80,000 yuan (this is the higher education institution in Jiangsu where I am)
This is a phenomenon worth studying: the smartest group is far from having the highest income, not even as high as senior white-collar workers working in the company.
Finally, I want to draw a conclusion: studying well is of no use!
In primary and secondary schools, the purpose of studying well is to get into a good university, and to study well in university is to find a good job. However, the social reality is that people who study well do not have high career income. In fact, on the surface, the actual risks faced by starting a business are much higher than working part-time, but in the long run, the risks brought by part-time work are even higher.
The risk of starting a business is losing the expected working income in recent years, and even having to pay back part of the money you borrowed after bankruptcy. But after all, you are young and can fight against repeated failures and draw nutrients from failures. With experience and experience, the business level and ability are getting higher every time. After gradually integrating into the group of business people, the vision and experience accumulate day by day, and there will always be a breakthrough from quantitative change to qualitative change. As long as you truly enter the business door, your future career will basically be smooth. . Earn more and more money, accumulate more and more wealth, and maximize your own value.
On the contrary, if your working life continues and it is indeed uneventful in recent years, you are actually constantly depreciating and shrinking, rather than getting stronger and stronger. The longer you work, the more guilty and timid you will become. After more than 10 years, if you are not careful, you may be fired and become unemployed. Do you think the risk is high?
Philosophy determines how you choose, your choice determines which path you take, and which path you take determines your future life process and results.
The ancients also said: "Men are afraid of choosing the wrong career, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man." This sentence is actually very profound.
There are 365 professions in the world, and you can do any of them. However, if the same person chooses to do business or choose to go to work, the difference in the future will be very big, really big!
If you choose a working career, you may be absolutely lucky and will be able to work as a super-collar worker in the future, with an annual income of only a few hundred thousand. If you are unlucky and work as a low-level white-collar worker, you may only earn one or two yuan a month. Thousand yuan, if the price of pork rises, your family may not be able to afford pork. If the price of eggs rises, your family may have to eat less eggs. Even in such a humble life, there is always fear in my heart, fear of losing my job.
If you choose an entrepreneurial career, you may be absolutely lucky. You can become a wealthy person in China in the future, donate to several Hope Primary Schools, and enjoy golf and private yachts from time to time; if you are not good at business, You can only open a grocery store, or even sell tofu, cabbage, etc. in the vegetable market. You can earn one to two thousand yuan and live a similar life to a low-level white-collar worker. But you are not afraid of losing your job, because people come to buy tofu and cabbage every day, which is better than white-collar life.
It can be seen that different ideas, different choices; different results, different lives. I went to get a haircut today. It was the same old barber shop. A buzz cut cost 5 yuan. I am his regular customer. This barber shop is located in the alley in front of my house, with an area of ??about 15 square meters. The monthly rent is only 350 yuan. Including water and electricity, the monthly rent will not exceed 500 yuan.
The barber boss is a 35-year-old countryman from Nantong. He came to Yangzhou with his wife more than ten years ago to make a living. With the barbering skills he learned in the countryside, he actually took root in Yangzhou and raised two children. , and also bought an old house.
I am very familiar with him. He is a know-it-all. Every time I come to get a haircut, I always like to listen to his bragging, which is also an important way to understand the news. He proudly told me that the price of houses in Laiyinyuan Community in Yangzhou has increased by 900 yuan per square meter in the past three months. I said that has nothing to do with us poor people.
But he told me mysteriously, It was related to him, so I curiously asked him if he had real estate somewhere?
He told me that the year before last, he bought a 60-square-meter shop on the first floor facing the street. It was worth 500,000 yuan at the time, but it has now increased to nearly 800,000 yuan. He made a down payment of 300,000 yuan. The mortgage loan is 200,000 yuan. After the house was acquired, the house was simply renovated and immediately rented out to a private clinic called Muxiang Clinic. It is located on the roadside of Laiyinyuan Community on Yanfu East Road in Yangzhou. Locals in Yangzhou can clearly see it. He told me that the rent can just cover his loan, and now he has no financial pressure. His only dream is to work for another 20 years, retire and enjoy life.
I was very surprised. I thought that in such a small barber shop, he usually only cuts hair. According to my calculation, the monthly income will not exceed 2,000 yuan, which is similar to working part-time. But according to his calculation Calculating the financial strength to buy a house, he should have an income of 60,000-70,000 yuan a year, and an average monthly income of 5,000-6,000 yuan. I quickly asked him if his average monthly income could reach 5,000 yuan, but he just smiled and did not answer or deny it. .
I can’t help but lament that many times we feel that small businesses do not make money, and when dealing with them we even pity them for their low income. Who knows that the income of many humble small businesses is much higher than that of us working people.
Recently, an organization conducted an experiment among the American people to investigate their views on the Chinese.
As a result, there are mostly negative impressions, but of course there are also good impressions. Based on the attitude of learning and correction, I will not talk about the advantages, only the shortcomings.
1. The qualities that Chinese people lack most are integrity and responsibility
2. The most common characteristics of Chinese people are selfishness and utilitarianism
3. China There is one precious quality that people least encourage: taking risks.
It seems that apart from the two well-known points 1 and 2, the most important quality that Chinese people lack is risk-taking. No wonder ordinary people in China can only feel mediocre and boring, humble and desperate in their lives. The key lies in the lack of the important ingredient of adventure.
Only by adding the good medicine of adventure in life, can a person regain his passion, regain his fighting power, and perform like a warrior in the arena of life!
Warriors will be favored and rewarded by God!
In fact, taking risks is one of the rarest good qualities in China.
Many people worry that failure after taking risks will reduce their quality of life.
But that is only temporary. As long as you persist in defeating and fighting, those who take risks will ultimately gain much more than ordinary people.
Thoughts determine the way out, and actions determine the results.
Most people are accustomed to being giants in language and dwarfs in action.
The higher the IQ, the easier it is for people to fall into this paradox and find it difficult to extricate themselves.
It seems that God is fair. While giving people wisdom, he often takes away their courage.
So there are always a few people in the world who enjoy a wonderful life.
A well-known economics expert in China once asked this question: "In order to maintain a normal life, how much money do workers have to earn in their lifetime if they want to live a normal and happy life without worrying about food and clothing? ?”
Suppose under normal circumstances, we are 22 years old from birth to adulthood, and we are lucky enough to work until we are 60 years old. In this way, our average career life as a worker is 38 years, then these 38 years It is to prepare us for the future. If we can live to 80 years old, in the 20 years from 60 to 80 years old, if we have 1,000 yuan per month for living expenses and 500 yuan per month for medical expenses reserve expenses (Because diseases will frequently visit and trouble us at that time), we must have a pension reserve fund of 360,000 yuan. This does not include the expenses for us over the age of 80! In this way, we know how much money we earn is enough. Assuming that under the premise that the currency value is stable and there is no inflation, the majority of our professional managers survive in order to maintain a simple life. It is enough to earn 4,000 yuan (there is also the premise that basic housing is no longer a problem), of which 2,000 yuan is enough. RMB 1,000 is used as current monthly living expenses, RMB 1,000 is used as pension reserve expenses, RMB 500 is used as reserve expenses for medical expenses in old age, and RMB 500 is used as an investment in children’s education expenses.
If migrant workers are still full of fear about the current living standard of 2,000 yuan per month, and if earning 4,000 yuan now is not enough, then what will our lives be like in the future? If we still plan to invest, plan to further our studies, plan to live in a larger and beautiful house, and plan to travel abroad, then this number is far from enough. Now our parents have units to rely on and we have children of our generation who have never forgotten their conscience. We have a lot of help, the warmth of colleagues and friends, and the attention and care of the society. But if we wait twenty or thirty years from now, what kind of situation will be waiting for us? !
Not long ago, a friend of mine told me such a true story: In the early spring of this year, my friend accompanied his 72-year-old father on a special trip to Wuhan to visit relatives. Unexpectedly, when he was about to return, he The old father suddenly fell ill and fell to the ground. He quickly called 120 and sent the patient to Wuhan Tongji Hospital for rescue. After several hours of rescue in the emergency room, the old man was finally out of danger. The hospital stated that the patient suffered from multiple organ failure and autoimmune disease. His physical condition is very poor and his condition is very complicated, requiring long-term hospitalization and observation. However, the key doctors of Tongji Hospital are currently resting, and the medical rescue force is limited. The family members are required to take the old man back to the local hospital as soon as possible for rescue and observation and treatment. Since the old man cannot fly or take trains after the operation, the hospital suggested renting a newly imported ambulance from Wuhan Tongji Hospital to escort him. The family immediately agreed. In order to ensure the safety of the old man, a first-level care plan was launched. In addition to oxygen delivery, In addition to blood transfusion and other hardware equipment, a doctor and two nurses were also specially equipped. Finally, the old man was safely sent back to the local area, and then he was quickly arranged to be admitted to the best large hospital in the local area, and the best expert doctor was found. Provide rescue and treatment.
After more than three months of auxiliary treatment and careful nursing, the old man's condition was gradually controlled and improved, and he can now get out of bed.
At this point, my friend looked embarrassed. Now that we are in better condition and have the ability, my father is luckier than my mother (my friend’s mother also died a few years ago due to deterioration of her condition). After that, I took out the old man's outpatient bill and waved it in front of me. I took it and saw that the long bill summary column clearly marked the total cost: 247,900 yuan. The friend sighed, and finally added that this did not include the 50,000 yuan hospitalization fee for a few days in Wuhan Tongji Hospital, the operation fee, and the 20,000 yuan rental of the ambulance from Tongji Hospital, not to mention how much it would cost in the future. I can only hope that the old man can recover. . .
Writer Shi Tiesheng talked about his feelings about suffering from kidney disease and having to use hemodialysis to maintain his life: "The cost of dialysis is so high that few people can afford it on their own. Unfortunately, I have received many benefits from society. Otherwise it would be unimaginable. One is to suffocate to death slowly (for those who have a little money), and the other is to suffocate to death quickly (for those who have no money). However, the process of suffocating to death is the same. It gradually swells, breathing becomes difficult, and the consciousness seems to be somewhere else. Everything around you seems to be soaked in venom and gradually becomes cold. But this is not the worst feeling. The worst feeling is: your relatives are watching helplessly. Looking at you, looking at such a painful process, you are still helpless.
Many people are very noble and think that talking about money is too vulgar. How much money is enough?
In fact, this is the case in China. In a country without security, without freedom of wealth, you cannot be independent as a person. Not only can you not provide stable living security for your wife, children, and parents, you can even turn a blind eye when they are threatened by disease because you don’t have enough money. Watching your loved ones leave.
So in order to have a dignified life, you must learn to make money at a young age!
Everyone understands the above reason, why only a few. People jump out to start a business, but most people still indulge in their working life and are unable to extricate themselves?
Let’s describe the mentality of those who continue to work.
They say they have always been. Waiting patiently for the real opportunity. Wise people think carefully and think twice before taking action. They have been waiting for the conditions to mature, even if the flowers bloom and fall, but until now, the time has not arrived, the conditions have not been mature, and the quality of real life has not been obtained. Change.
I remember a very pessimistic folk song in Greece: "Apollo, the sun god, is a warrior. He can defeat fierce enemies with one punch, but he cannot reverse his fate. Prometheus is a wise god. He was able to steal the fire without telling Zeus and teach the poor people to see the light, but he himself was eaten out by the eagle. This was a joke played on him by fate! "This is an example of people thinking that their own power cannot defeat their own destiny and change reality.
My working friends who work odd jobs for others to make ends meet do not want to change their real lives. They also have a sense of urgency and want to change. Although I have a "poverty" aspect, I always have a sense of fear because I have never had the experience of independently controlling my own destiny. It is like a person who has never used a computer. He is afraid of burning out the computer by pressing the wrong switches and buttons. Just like breaking the keyboard, or encountering a virus when surfing the Internet, the thing is not that scary. For people who are afraid of computers, the most important thing is to plug in the power and turn it on.
Of course, in the workplace, we migrant workers are always responsible for the work itself, the company, and the boss, so we have to wait for the conditions to mature. In fact, making these conditions come true often consumes a lot of energy and delays a lot of time. Sometimes we have not waited until When the conditions are ripe, the surrounding environment has changed, but the old conditions have not yet been reached, and new problems have emerged. The result is still at a loss, and ultimately it can't be settled.
Therefore, for migrant workers, the most important thing is to understand that you must act first and then think!
For friends who are still working but are planning to start a business, I have a few words.
Generally speaking, if you work for a long time, you will be able to save some hard-earned money. , after all, houses, cars, and future children are all big spenders. In other words, the capital used to start a business must be cherished by every entrepreneurial friend.
I have observed a phenomenon, The more friends who have never done business, the more rash their choices will be when looking for projects for investment and entrepreneurship, and they will not consider doing basic market research. They will just choose a project at random based on their own passion and optimism. When starting a business, the failure rate exceeds 90%. Many friends told me that the opportunity cost is very high. The project in front of me is very good and rare. If I take the time to investigate, the golden duck in front of me will probably fly away. There is no chance. I lost my money, so I invested my money rashly, and the result was naturally very tragic.
As a person who has experienced it, I would like to warn those friends who have no entrepreneurial experience, but are determined to start a business, and have saved some hard-earned money. Based on your entrepreneurial experience Your experience is blank, so I suggest that before you choose to start a business, you must work for three months in the industry you plan to start a business. For example, if you want to open a clothing store, then please quit your current job and apply for a local job immediately. It is worthwhile to work as a clerk in a clothing brand store for three months, even if you don't get paid. If you want to open a snack bar, okay, it is best to work as a waiter in a similar restaurant. After three months, you will be an expert in the industry. You can look again. The projects you originally planned to do are clear at a glance. If you want to open a company, it is even simpler. Apply for a company of the same type immediately and be their salesperson.
My above method is for friends who start a business in the early stages. The best way to reduce risks. But one difficulty that needs to be overcome is the psychological barrier. The biggest characteristic of many friends who have no entrepreneurial experience is that they are thin-skinned and are afraid of losing their identity by becoming a store clerk. Let me tell you, if you can’t even let go of this identity If so, just don’t open a store. If you open a store, it will probably be completed soon. After working for a few months, the biggest gain is that you understand the methods of making money in this industry and the difficulties and challenges faced in the business process. This is really helpful to you. The key is, you can’t buy this with any amount of money. This valuable experience will save you from paying too much tuition. You have to know that the tuition fees you pay after starting a business are all the hard-earned money you saved while working. If If you pay too much tuition, your entrepreneurial journey will die faster.
Some friends may ask whether there is any other way besides gaining familiarity with industry experience through working part-time. In fact, there is another way. This road is only suitable for friends who are planning to open a store. For example, if you want to sell small decorations, you can buy a little bit of goods. Never rent a store yourself. Instead, go to other people's stores and talk to the boss to rent one of his stores. Counter or a small area, how much rent is given to him every month, and a certain commission can be given to him from the total sales. Anyway, this requires mutual communication to win. After a period of operation, you will know the success of the project Whether the product market is popular and whether it is feasible to open a store by yourself in the future. In short, friends who are interested in starting a business must pay attention to methods. After all, ammunition is limited and extremely precious.
Every bullet you use will be one less. If you use Before the time comes, you will die before you get enough loot.
In order to make it less easy for you to die when starting a business for the first time, please make preparations before starting a business.
