(turn) 7 good habits of successful entrepreneurs

On the face of it, successful entrepreneurs look no different to each of us.

But when you look closely, you will find that in some ways they are very, very independent-and so are they in creating their own inheritance.

　　1. They always prefer action to rhetoric.

It's good to have a detailed plan, but the accident always happens, and most entrepreneurs often finalize the first three steps and start putting it into practice. (I started a company that wanted to provide design services for publishers, but in the end I became the author of those books.) )

Spend a little time planning and devote a lot of time to your actions. If you are unsure, do something first and then respond appropriately to the situation. It is easy to think, evaluate and analyze yourself after failure.

　　2. They regard money as the source of failure.

I know that capital-intensive businesses need a lot of money. But most companies need only a small amount of money to start. And capital constraints often belong to the "disguise, how to know not to be blessed"; a friend in the VCs community believes that the long-term success of startups is inversely proportional to their level of funding: self-reliance is a growth, and money from the bank doesn't teach you anything.

It's always easy to achieve short-term success when you have more money than you can afford to burn. Without a lot of money, you have to be careful to break out of the difficulties, rather than just throw money to solve.

　　3. They spend only where they really touch the customer.

Is the enterprise positioning of the start-up company equal to the investment in all the facilities? I'm sorry, it's wrong.

Before you spend your money, ask: "Does this touch the customer?" If you can't, don't buy it. If you are a lawyer, your office can leave you a professional impression, and if you run a retail business, no one cares if you have an office.

Spend your money in places where you can really attract customers. The more you meet your customers ' needs, the more you will get what you want. (In the end, win together.) )

Remember, success is never a gorgeous office or facility; success is all about profit.

　　4. They never compromise on the place.

Classic case: Restaurants. Due to the lack of funds, the budding restaurant owners (who liked the word) chose a cheap (and bad) storefront, hoping that their own fine food and thoughtful service would make the restaurant a place for dinner. But in general, only creditors will treat that restaurant as a dinner place.

If you really don't have a competitor-in reality it's impossible, and there really is a market, and maybe there's a customer on the doorstep. Otherwise, empty is the inevitable phenomenon.

　　5. They spend most of their time on goals that they can realistically achieve

Almost every startup has a dream of finding big customers, but these people are difficult to intersect. Focus on finding opportunities that are likely to be captured.

Then you can take advantage of the accumulated customer base and the experience gained from the accumulation process to successfully capture a larger customer.

　　6. They never see survival as a right

No matter how hard you work, no one is obliged to buy your things. "Fairness" only exists in how you deal with customers, suppliers, sellers and so on. You should have success or failure and fairness without a dime relationship.

If you find yourself thinking, "It's not fair." I should get a decent life from my career. "Stop this idea at once." You only have the right to create profits.

No one has a duty to make sure you can make a living-except yourself.

　　7. They don't do things that can't make a profit.

Anything you do is going to make a profit. Stop doing the hard-to-understand spreadsheets, and stop printing flashy reports that you'll only see. Stop wasting time on the golf course and look forward to networking to help you bring your customers. Minimize management tasks and focus on the things that make a profit.

Admittedly, you can do what you like and make money, but that's only when you love to do things that create benefits. If there is no profit, at least from now on, give it up.
