Article source/"Entrepreneur" magazine column host/dry Dragon Venture Joint founding partner Charlie Why does everyone shake his head when he talks about college students ' entrepreneurship? There are two kinds of people who shake their heads, one is "an experienced person", think "college students have not seen the whole, no experience, immature." If this logic is true, then the most qualified to start the business is only those who have seen, experienced, have figured out the frail bones of the old?　　The other is college students themselves, most of these people do not have the courage, and the university has never opened the entrepreneurial class, how they know how to start a business?　　But the truth is, the world's best startups are created by college students, even students who have not even finished college: Jobs and Apple, Bill Gates and Microsoft, Jerry Yang and Yahoo, Sergei and Riley, and Google, Mark and Facebook. Entrepreneurship itself is a bigger school, sweet and sour and taste salty. The people who created the industry are usually more sensible than the average person, more understanding of society, more understanding of value, better at making decisions, more popular, richer, more love of freedom, of course, will also be more lamented the world of good and evil and life vicissitudes ...　　From this perspective, college students ' entrepreneurship is not only a mature accelerator for young people, but also promotes the evolution and renewal of society. Let's take a look at 816 grassroots entrepreneurs in Sina's survey: College student Entrepreneurship survey Gao Shao FEI Shanghai Five Minutes Network Technology Co., Ltd. founder time: September 2006 five minutes (Www.fminutes.com) committed to becoming an outstanding social game development and operator, Representative works "　　The happy farm has been one of the most popular social games in the world since its launch in November 2008.

Gao Shao Fei: Now think, the university stage of many attempts is indeed the first time we graduated on the cornerstone of the road to entrepreneurship. I'm with two partners. Computer Information Exchange Association, held the first electronic competition has now to the seventh session, the Shanghai University has become a very well-known electronic sports brand, a junior studio, to undertake a variety of Internet-related outsourcing projects; After tossing a lot of things, found that their favorite is the Internet,　　Decided to start a business, so, hit, not too much deliberate case to decide to start a business! Kazhang: Sophomore thought to control their careers and fate, so the choice of entrepreneurship, and immediate action.　　If I have a clear middle school to start a business, middle school will create. Charlie: But many people say that college students have no experience, no resources, and are not suitable for starting a business.　　What do you think? Gao Shao Fei: college students do not have experience, no capitalSource, but they have more courage, passion, small burden, low cost, long working hours may have experience, resources, but may not dare to venture, even if they can start a business may not be able to vent their own, from little to do.　　From this point of view it is difficult to say who is more suitable for entrepreneurship. Kazhang: Because I have no experience, college students will not be bound by the traditional, more easily innovate, break the stereotypes, entrepreneurship will never be such as you accumulate enough resources after "only the East Wind" thing, even if you have experience in an industry, the founder of the Enterprise will encounter management, financing and other aspects of the new problems.　　Second, after graduating to a post after a few years of accumulated experience, resources, it may not be more than in the university started a business accumulation. Charlie: Well. Learn to fight from war.　　Is it hard for you to start a business? Gao Shao Fei: We got the Shanghai University Student Science and Technology pioneering fund to help, although this money is not much, but gave us a lot of courage, so that we can be more confident to spend the initial stage of entrepreneurship.　　Later, the foundation teachers help, but also let us than the large number of small companies in society more formal and mature, get the recognition of society.　　Kazhang: Initially just with a few interested students to chat idea, attracted the same interest and excellent students to form a team, their own contact resources, fund-raising, research, public relations, site selection, to set up a company, continuous operation.　　Charlie: What are your biggest concerns in entrepreneurship? Gao Shao Fei: To tell the truth, entrepreneurship at the beginning of almost no consideration of this problem, but the entrepreneurial process, did meet a variety of difficulties, have many times to the survival of the situation, but each time more is to consider how to let the company continue to live. Success is sticking out, as long as the constant way to keep the company alive, success is not far! The embodiment of company value is that the company can live and create value for the society. What is success? is a product as popular as a happy farm a success? Does the company make a lot of money this year is success?　　Indeed, this is a success, but do not ignore, these things are staged, past is history, I am afraid more important is the sustainable operation of the Enterprise! Kazhang: To fail is more than success. The death rate of entrepreneurship is really too high, and second, failure to think about how bad will be defeated, I and the team members can withstand?　　At that time, there was a lot of anxiety about academic conflict.　　Charlie: Don't you regret not working for a big company? Gao Shao Fei: I think it is important not to start a business or a part-time job, but what attitude you use to face the entrepreneurial and working. For the work of big companies, I do not have much yearning, of course I also think that the work experience of big companies is very important, but I am opposed to the blind worship of large companies, because it will allow you to enter an external aura greater than the intrinsic strength, but also unaware of the situation, which paralyzed your mind, distorted your judgment,　　Hinder your progress. Kazhang: In this process will understand to do a business, to build a team, to stabilize sales, to study customersAnd so on are not easy, more can understand the tenacity, insist on exactly what is the matter.　　Entrepreneurship can learn more.　　Charlie: What is your most frustrated business?　　Gao Shao Fei: Difficulties and setbacks, is not there is no problem, there are a lot of said, must say that the most frustrated, I think has not happened, may be the next difficulty is always more than have encountered a lot! Kazhang: Of course. For example, just start to do sales, into the front of the customer to give their own pep, tearing off some of the plot on the face.　　For example, there is a project for a long time no income, the original CEO quit, the team needs me to reorganize; The most frustrated frustration is also the project's best friend did not stay to help me.　　Charlie: If you do it all over again, will you take a different approach?　　Gao Shao Fei: I think I will work harder to learn and break through themselves, this is the inevitable bottleneck of entrepreneurial success, break through their own bottlenecks, how fast the speed of enterprise growth will be how fast! Kazhang: There will be a certain way to adjust the method, because this time has not learned lessons?　　If you come back to the natural is to try to avoid the mistakes made, such as the purchase of the time will be "around." Charlie: Because young, have enough time to start again and again!　　As an experienced student, what advice do you have for college students who are considering starting a business? Gao Shao Fei: You will never fail because of your own short board, must be because you do not want to break through and growth and hindered.　　You will never miss the opportunity to achieve the success of entrepreneurship, the real opportunity to your own God will not let you miss, listen to their own inner guidance, or to listen to the arrangement of heaven! Kazhang: I'm a man on the road. There is a class of people are destined to start a business, because they believe that "do not make a good", because they "entrepreneurial regret three years, do not venture regret for a lifetime!" "I am in this category.　　If you start a business, make it more important than you think, and have the idea that you are surging through your hands and turn it into reality!
