Do entrepreneurs really need education?

China-Europe International Business School officially launched the new generation of entrepreneurial leaders growth Camp project. The new generation business leaders growth Camp is the first annual entrepreneurship course launched by the China-Europe Venture and Investment Center, the China-EU senior managers Training department and the Ceibs Entrepreneurship Association. The aim is to cultivate China's future entrepreneurial leaders through the combination of entrepreneurial philosophy and entrepreneurial practice.

Shanyou, the executive director of the Central European Venture and Investment Center, was formerly the founder and CEO of 酷6网, and has served in a large foreign company such as Motorola, Alcoa group, Ph. D., and Sohu, a very influential portal in the country. Shanyou, who now invests in entrepreneurship education, says that, in fact, many well-known foreign universities and famous business schools have entrepreneurial centers, Stanford Business Center and Entrepreneurship-related professors have 35. China's education in this area is scarce.

Speaking of entrepreneurship Education, has founded 酷6网 Shanyou has been very tangled: do entrepreneurs really need education? is entrepreneurship education or entrepreneurship training helpful to entrepreneurs? Don't you really want to start a business, you listen to me to tell a lesson, you can go to start a business? Will you succeed? "I don't think it's a very good thing, so I haven't been convincing myself yet," he said. But I do know one thing, especially for Chinese startups, the importance of founders is no exaggeration. The founder and his ability to learn and the desire to grow is the most effective engine for the development of an entrepreneurial enterprise, absolutely. I think entrepreneurship is not training, but the entrepreneurial level of management can be improved, the cause of the entrepreneur also needs to be promoted, the entrepreneurial mood is to be shared. Therefore, we think entrepreneurship education is very important. ”

For entrepreneurship, the shanyou that has always been an entrepreneur has its own understanding. "My understanding of entrepreneurship, two words is called transcendence." Entrepreneurship to achieve the state is freedom, I think it is so simple. To say more is to transcend, break through certain restrictions, and realize freedom. ”

And shanyou that there are about three levels of transcendence and realization of freedom. The first level, entrepreneurship must be beyond the poverty of your limitations, the realization of freedom of wealth. This is a very important motivation. But that's not enough. It is sometimes found that wealth comes by chance or by luck. People really good state is not to say that money, but that there is a choice of freedom, the freedom of choice is not only to make money, but also to have the ability to continue to make money is called wealth. Therefore, a higher level is beyond the environment to your limitations and constraints, to achieve freedom of ability. And entrepreneurship is the easiest to realize the freedom of ability. To be a professional manager, living in a certain position, just do this thing, and entrepreneurship needs all-round ability, the pressure of the feeling, can create the industry of course, people feel that they can do anything. Many entrepreneurs are perfectionists, perfectionists have a fear of failure and do everything in a good way. In fact, the highest level of entrepreneurship should be beyond all external expectations, let their emotions reach a spiritual freedom, Free State, know what they want, that state is the most beautiful. Many entrepreneurs are probably only at the first and second levels.
