After starting a business, there are 4 things you must never do
In modern society, the number of entrepreneurs is gradually increasing, some for their own interests, and some for making money.
What should be done before starting a business has been said a lot, so today we will talk about what cannot be done after starting a business, and hope to give you some inspiration through reverse thinking.
- Only talk about feelings
In the early days of starting a business, many people talk about their feelings as soon as they come up, which is of no use.
Although feelings can keep you enthusiastic when you start a business, it is difficult to last in real life, because we will eventually find that we still have to eat and support our family.
So in the early stage of starting a business, you can make a good capital budget on the basis of maintaining your original intention, and then polish your product/business to determine whether your product or business is needed by the society, whether it is just needed, and whether it can be realized and profitable. model, including subsequent corporate positioning, corporate strategy, investment scale, business philosophy and risks. To find investors who recognize you, let yourself live first, this is the first thing to consider.
02 Fear of failure
In the process of starting a business, if all goes well, then of course it’s fine.
But in fact, not everything will go as you want, and sometimes there will be competition and setbacks.
When some people encounter difficulties, they are afraid of failure and become depressed first. If they do not have the courage to face the difficulties, and lack the mentality to come back after losing, they will definitely fail.
It was only the fifth time that Jack Ma founded Alibaba. Zhang Yiming founded Toutiao only after his fourth entrepreneurship. Both Liu Qiangdong and Lei Jun have failed entrepreneurial experiences. But they were not discouraged, they continued to persevere, and they all succeeded in the end.
Therefore, we encounter setbacks and difficulties in the early stage of starting a business, and we must do everything possible to solve them, so that you can accumulate more experience to avoid the next risk.
- Fighting alone
Any enterprise can not be successful by relying on one person. Most people need the support of the team, and they need a reliable team with complementary advantages and the same goals. However, the difficulty of building a team is no less than obtaining investment. Because talent is the most precious resource.
When Alibaba was first established, the Eighteen Arhats followed Jack Ma, worked together, and had a clear division of labor, which led to the subsequent Alibaba.
- Follow the trend blindly
Although standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly. But a pig that is too heavy and a wind that is too small may not be able to fly.
In the early days of a startup, unless you have a strong background or deep pockets. Otherwise, we all need to stay sensible and not blindly follow the trend to do things that we are not familiar with.
You have to understand that other people's successful methods may be used for reference, but they cannot be 100% restored, because many other internal and external factors are involved, such as capital, team, market, and whether you can persevere, etc. .
Therefore, entrepreneurs need to strengthen their own ideas, determine the direction of the enterprise, and walk out of their own path, so as to achieve real success.
