When it comes to the topic of entrepreneurship, I believe everyone here has thought about whether they are suitable for entrepreneurship. When I was in college, I was too young to be ignorant, and I also thought about starting a business. Later, because of academic problems, entrepreneurship was naturally suppressed in the bottom of my heart. After all, we didn't have much experience and capital, and didn't dare to act rashly, so I just thought about it.
Last weekend, I went to meet a few old friends from college, and by the way, I met a boss who started his own business in society. A junior high school education can be regarded as earning money through traditional industries and has his own company.
In this way, through dealing with A, a little ideological spark was generated, and it also allowed me to understand the matter of entrepreneurship at a deeper level. It is by no means as simple as you think. The most important thing is to consider a lot. The risk, and I attribute this risk more to human factors, and there is no single standard to measure.
1. Be an "ignorant" entrepreneur
The ignorance here is not to be a "no-brained" entrepreneur, but whether you are an entrepreneur or a part-time worker, you must first know that you are ignorant. Only in this way can you maintain a lifelong learning experience. attitude.
Why do you say that? There is a saying that is particularly true, the more you know, the more you don’t know. This sentence is a good explanation. If you know more, see more, read more, and you find that you lack knowledge, the more you want to acquire more knowledge and content in your unknown field.
In entrepreneurship, you are required to have a lot of abilities, such as management ability, risk prediction ability, capital management ability, and the ability to deal with people.
Throughout lifelong learning, in addition to daily requirements that we will obtain from some books or paid content, what is more important is to get the knowledge and experience you want through communication with experienced seniors. If you are not good at consulting others, you will always feel that you will have a little complexion and you will not have greater development and growth.
2. To start a business, you must have your own set of systems and concepts
We have seen many failed cases of entrepreneurship, and some of us find it unreasonable. It is crazy to start a business with the money for selling houses and cars. At this time, someone came out to refute, the risk is proportional to the return, there is nothing wrong with it.
But I personally don't think so. In fact, in the entrepreneurial system and philosophy I think about, this risk is actually controllable based on your ability and existing resources.
I think entrepreneurship is like investment. Every investor has his own set of investment system and investment philosophy. For example, Buffett. If you have read books about Buffett’s investment, you will find that he has his own set of investment philosophy. , Such as: buying stocks will often buy stocks that are lower than the company's value. And judging the value of a company, for different investors, often the judgment results are different, and finally lead to different risks.
Entrepreneurship is the same. Everyone who starts a business should have his own set of entrepreneurial systems and entrepreneurial ideas.
For example, low-risk and low-cost are suitable for one of my personal entrepreneurial value systems and theories, that is, how do we achieve the lowest possible risk within our own ability in entrepreneurship, And to minimize costs.
2. Bottom line thinking
This kind of thinking is not only widely used in entrepreneurship, but also in our daily life, it has also greatly helped my personal growth and life in the past two years.
The so-called bottom line thinking is that thinkers with this skill will carefully calculate the risk, estimate the worst possible situation, and accept this situation.
I think that on the basis of the above-mentioned bottom-line thinking, I should add a personal opinion, which is to combine this bottom-line thinking with anti-fragility. When you estimate some of the worst situations in your business, then think about how to turn this situation into your own use and make things better.
For example, it's like a table tennis ball, falling on the ground. Our estimated risk is that the ball will break. What we have to do is to make the ball bounce as much as possible and think about how to make the ball bounce higher.
This kind of thinking must be used well. If used properly, you will find that many things are nothing more than this, and your mentality and emotions become positive and confident, instead of worrying too much and waiting for bad results.
3. Don't do anything beyond recognition
No matter what industry you are in, don't do anything beyond your knowledge. Yesterday a friend came to borrow money from Xiaolu and said that he would invest in the catering industry, but I asked him if you know the catering industry? Do you know the state of the catering industry this year? Do you know how deep the water is in some franchise catering industry?
In fact, he didn't know this at all, but he was tempted at this time when someone around him told him that the catering industry is an opportunity now, and the opportunity is not to be missed. Once money is invested, there is no return.
So don't do things beyond your own knowledge. Even if you gain benefits, you will lose them in another form. When you don't understand that a certain industry intends to enter the pit, all you can do is wait for the leeks to be cut abruptly.
Some people feel that if I trust my instincts, it doesn't matter if the investment money is lost. In fact, this is quite good, at least you can spend money to buy a lesson, so that you will invest more money to buy a lesson if you have money in the future.
At last
Through these two days of travel, I have gained a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship. If you can summarize a sentence, you can take a couplet shared by Huo Taiwen, founder and CEO of Geekbang Technology, in the entrepreneurial article.
Shanglian: Find someone, find money, find direction
Bottom Line: Talk about love, dream, and win-win
Henglian: Reasonably divide the spoils
Calm down and think about it carefully. The thinking and perception of entrepreneurship in the past two days can't escape these three points.
Today’s title is very interesting, and it is also what I usually hear from my friends around me. With the current situation, it is not enough to support the ambition to start a business. The reason is very simple. The first article at the beginning of the article is that the knowledge reserve is not enough, the ability is not enough, and I know that I am "ignorant".
