Some time ago, I saw a golfer named Lao Zeng on our planet sharing his resignation to start a business.
This golfer is very good. It is true that he earns one million per year, and it is also true that he is now quitting his job to start a business.
Then some people will say, isn’t it? It’s crazy to quit your job and start a business with an annual salary of one million, right? Wouldn't it be better to be more stable?
Indeed, this golfer’s family also feels the same way. Here is an excerpt of what he wrote about his family’s reaction:
When I tentatively proposed the idea of starting a business to my family, my mother rushed directly from the living room to the room and said, "I don't want to give you one or two million annual salary. If you don't make any money, the whole family will have to drink Northwest with you." wind".
It is normal for family members to have such a reaction. Everyone wants to live a stable life, and everyone is afraid that their peaceful life will be suddenly disrupted. But for this golfer, there are several issues that cannot be avoided. Let me briefly summarize:
First, it is impossible to work in an Internet company until retirement. As the age increases, and the later you come out, not only will you lose your physical strength, but you will also lose your most important spiritual energy. Not to mention the “35-year-old mid-life crisis” that everyone always talks about.
Second, regarding the opportunity cost, this must be paid. From the perspective of income, instead of sticking to the annual salary and making no savings, it is better to do something with a controllable lower limit and a very high upper limit.
Third, believe in the power of trends. What widens the gap between ordinary people is the dividend of the times. This golfer said that he missed many opportunities, such as Taobao e-commerce, Douyin, and BTC. He was exposed to relevant opportunities at the first time, but he did not really take the time to study them. Therefore, in this wave of AI trends, we don’t want to make any mistakes and regret.
Judging from the points he considered, it can be seen that his final choice was carefully considered and not made impulsively.
For such people, even if they don't do particularly well in starting a business in the end, they won't do poorly. Besides, what can happen to someone who can earn an annual salary of one million?
The direction he chose to start his own business was AI, which didn’t surprise me at all. I have said before that although everyone does not know when AI will fully come, it is already a definite trend. Whether you are planning your career or choosing a business direction, you must be as close to AI as possible.
The reason is very simple. Personal power is not worth mentioning in the face of trends. As for how individuals can achieve the so-called overtaking in corners, apart from daydreaming, the most important thing left is to rely on the power of trends.
For example, we have been saying that the Internet era has given countless opportunities for grassroots counterattacks. There are countless such examples. For example, in the earliest Weibo era, how many grassroots Weibo Vs emerged. In the live broadcast era, how many grassroots people became popular by relying on live broadcasts. Nowadays, live broadcasts have made many people’s income ceiling extremely high. In the previous public account era, many literary workers ushered in the best era. Including current AI, many people who entered the game first have tasted the benefits.
Of course, this does not mean that there is a trend and everyone will rush in to start a business. If you want to start a business, you must first check whether you have the ability to start a business.
Starting a business is not easy. You see some people succeed in starting a business, but you don’t see how many people behind them fail to start a business.
Through this incident, I will also share with you some entrepreneurial principles. Regardless of whether you are starting a business now, or whether you want to start a business in the future, or even if you will not start a business in the future, you can still refer to the following:
1. When starting a business, focus on business. Don’t think about changing the world. First achieve success in the worldly sense.
What is success in the worldly sense? Just make more money, it is so vulgar, there is nothing wrong with being a vulgar person, if you can make money, you must have created huge value to this society.
2. When starting a business, it is best to do what you are good at, and don’t think about recruiting people to do it. You are a new entrepreneur. It is not when you reach a certain size of startup company, you must leave professional matters to professionals. However, when you are just starting out, you have to rely on yourself for everything, so it is best to start a business in the field that you are good at. If you want to make videos and do live broadcasts, then learn and shoot by yourself, and train yourself by live broadcasting every day. In this era, if you want to learn any skill, there is basically no threshold.
3. Business models with poor information will always exist. It's best if you have good ideas. If you don't have good ideas, then finding information gaps is also an opportunity.
4. Don’t do so hard at the beginning when starting a business. Don't think that you want to sell something today, just think about finding the supply chain, logistics, customers, after-sales, etc. by yourself. Once you have such a large set ready, you may not be able to sell it. The most taboo thing about starting a business is to get it right in one step, so use the power of some platforms.
Finally, I would like to say one more thing. In fact, when most people mention entrepreneurship, they always think it is a big deal. They always think that starting a project is called entrepreneurship. This is too narrow.
If you create gadgets in your spare time, such as an AI one-click comic generator, an AI novel tweet generator, or a resume promotion service, etc., they all belong to entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship is not so sacred, as the saying goes, it all depends on the mentality. The way of doing things and the way of thinking are really different if you have an entrepreneurial mentality and if you don't have an entrepreneurial mentality. I hope that everyone will become entrepreneurs in the future, and it is best to make money!
