P is always my old subordinate. Back then, I was the CTO of an Internet unicorn company. I simply resigned because I didn’t agree with the company’s CEO. Later, I went to a traditional listed company as an executive, and Mr. P stayed in that company to continue to develop. He got along well with the new CTO who succeeded me and was reused.
Mr. P was very anxious when he was about 36 years old, because he analyzed his situation: Although he became the technical director of a listed Internet company, his age was still there, and his source of income was relatively single, 100% from the main business, still While repaying the mortgage, the family has no savings, and the wife resigned to take care of the baby at home. Once he lost his job, the family was in trouble immediately.
So Mr. P asked me for advice. I know Mr. P's situation quite well. After all, he is my old subordinate, and I usually pay more attention to him. I gave him the following advice:
1. Don't stop learning, continue to improve your qualifications . Mr. P’s undergraduate degree is a common second degree. I suggest that he study an MBA. There is no way to mix the workplace. If he wants to be promoted to VP or CTO, then an MBA or postgraduate degree is the starting point. Most CTOs are PhDs from famous turtle schools. Mr. P prepared for the exam for a year, and later he was admitted to the MBA of Jiaotong University. He met many business elites and introduced me to business.
2. Explore a sideline that suits you . My suggestion is to write an open source software, or do a technical architecture course, and do IT consulting for other companies. Later, Mr. P made some attempts, and what really suited him was open source software. He made a database synchronization software with a small audience. At present, more than 10 companies are using this software, and they have also made some income.
3. Allocate more conservative assets and reduce offensive assets . Mrs. P usually speculates in stocks, and she loses more and earns less. I advise him to allocate more conservative assets, such as bond funds. As for stocks, if my wife is addicted, I will give him tens of thousands of dollars to play. Family harmony is the most important thing, even if I lose everything, it will not affect the quality of life.
4. Buy a critical illness insurance and accident insurance . Under my suggestion, Mr. P bought himself a critical illness insurance and accident insurance. At least when he was unable to work due to illness, he could immediately get a sum of hundreds of thousands of dollars to help his family through the downturn. It's a good back-and-forth solution for families.
Last month, Mr. P invited me to dinner, and he was very grateful for the planning I helped him with. He told me that now his mind is much calmer, and he is not worried about unemployment or sudden accidents, because they have been considered and planned in advance. Now the sideline income is stable at around 800,000 to 1 million, which gives him a great sense of security.
Yes, Brother K often said that being able to make money is the greatest confidence for adults. For ordinary people in peaceful times, there are only two things that are most important: making money and taking care of their families. Everything else is bullshit.
01
Where do these cognitions of mine come from?
Many readers asked me: Brother K, I also want to have cognition and insights like yours to deal with future work and life. How did you do it?
There are two types of cognition: empirical and a priori. Experience is the process of learning lessons from the people you meet and things you experience, and internalizing them in your heart; prior experience mainly comes from reading books and learning from others. will improve.
Brother K started as an ordinary programmer. After 20 years of personal struggle, he became an executive of a listed company and founded two companies part-time. He has rich experience in the workplace; EMBA, I read more extensively after doing self-media. Reading 2 to 300 books a year is a basic skill for me, and I can listen to thousands of books. In my spare time, besides spending time with my family and exercising, I spend a lot of time reading and writing.
This is the source of all my cognition, nothing more than smashing myself and investing a lot of time and energy.
02
Maybe you don't have to go, the detour I took
In the process of cognitive upgrading, I found a problem, that is, the process of absorbing useful knowledge from books is too cumbersome and consumes too much time and energy. For most people in the workplace, there is simply not so much time to build their own knowledge system. After all, doing the main job well is already doing their best.
So I came up with the idea of sorting out the knowledge system I have accumulated over the years to form a column covering low-level cognition, thinking technology, action improvement, problem solving, energy management, leadership, business thinking, etc.
I started this project with 6 members of the team. From the more than 3 million words of manuscripts I have written over the years, after many times of screening and sorting, I extracted 25 sections of content that are most helpful to professionals in the workplace, and assembled them into a column " Personal Exponential Growth--25 Thinking Models and Skills ", the verbatim draft alone has written 80,000 words. The column is in the form of voice + text script , which can be listened to repeatedly after purchase and will not expire. Behind this column is Brother K's 20 years of knowledge accumulation and workplace practice. You can have this complete cognitive system at once.
03
Why do you want to learn from Brother K?
Brother K's main business is a listed company executive, and he founded a self-media company and an IT consulting company part-time, and has obtained results in each field. I have successively served as the technical director of Yihaodian, the technical vice president of Yiyao.com, the CTO of Haier's agricultural e-commerce, and the CTO of Zhongtong Commercial. These experiences have accumulated a wealth of practical experience in the workplace for me.
I have published the best-selling books "The Way to Cultivate a Technician" and "The Top of Technical Management", which further systematized my cognition. I have served as a sharing guest in more than 100 industry forums. Many technical directors and CTOs of major manufacturers are my friends, and I have a little influence in the technology circle.
The official account "Technical Leadership" founded by Brother K has gained hundreds of thousands of readers in three years, and has become a leading media in the vertical field of science and technology. I have written many 100,000+ and 1 million+ articles, which were reprinted by many well-known media such as 36 Krypton/Huxiao/Harvard Business Review. The recent hit article " Please be prepared not to go to work in the next 5 years " with a reading volume of 1 million+ on the Internet was written by Brother K.
The video account "Technical Leadership" was invited to be the special live media of " 2022 Wu Xiaobo Year-End Show ", " Liu Run's 2022 Annual Speech ", and " Jiangnanchun New Book Conference ", and has extensive influence in the field of IT media.
I am not thinking about Versailles, but I want to tell you that a person like me with ordinary qualifications and no background can also achieve success in the worldly sense through his continuous efforts.
Not only did I get the results myself, but I also helped many friends like President P to achieve success in their careers. My vision and network can help those young people like me who are unwilling to be mediocre and want to change their destiny through personal struggle.

Who is suitable to study this column?
If you want to pass this column and earn 100,000 a month, I will dissuade you , because this is a column that helps you grow. I can't promise what kind of career achievement you will achieve. If there is any course that can give you a monthly income of 100,000, I advise you not to believe it. 99.9% of it is a scam.
If you think that by studying this column, you can become an expert and a master, then I will advise you to give up . Because becoming an expert in any field requires more than 10,000 hours of deliberate practice, maybe the course can help you get started quickly in this field, but you still need to work harder than others to achieve excellence. This is the truth.
If you want to establish a systematic cognitive system and action plan in terms of underlying cognition, thinking technology, action improvement, leadership, business ability, etc., to help you more accurately understand the underlying logic of things, own A better career future, then this column is for you.
This set of columns is divided into 5 modules with a total of 25 sections:
The first module: the underlying cognitive upgrade
Life is a journey to explore the unknown, with both opportunities and pitfalls. How can we better distinguish between the two?
You need to establish a set of correct cognition, rules and thinking to lay the foundation for you to view the world correctly. This is a person's operating system.
Module Two: Thinking Techniques
Wang Xing said: "Most people are willing to do anything in order to escape real thinking."
Thinking is an instinct, and being able to think is an ability. The competition in the workplace is the ability to think, and the higher the position, the more so.
Module Three: Efficient Mobility
I often say: "Cognition determines the ceiling, and actions determine the horizon. Only the unity of knowledge and action can we gain a foothold in the world."
Mobility has widened the gap between people.
Module 4: Leadership Transition
A lone traveler goes fast, and a group travels far. If you want to achieve a greater cause, you must rely on the strength of the team. In this module, we will open a "minimalist management class" for you.
Module 5: Life Business Model
The purpose of growth is to make you more valuable and start your life realization path.
By studying this column, the cognition, skills and methods required for your career development will be upgraded in an all-round way. In order to better seize the few important opportunities in life and realize the leap in life.
05
Is it worth spending one or two hundred yuan to buy a column?
Personally, I think it is worthwhile just to upgrade your cognitive system.
Brother K often said that every penny you earn is the realization of your cognition. You will never make money beyond your knowledge. If you make money by luck, one day you will pay it back with your strength.
Today, when inflation is severe, one or two hundred yuan is the money for an afternoon tea meal. Apart from making you fat, afternoon tea does not seem to bring any benefits.
This time, I hope you can use this column to systematically master a set of cognitive systems and action plans to help you break through bottlenecks and climb to the top in your career.
