Entrepreneurs must learn to keep a low profile

When I was in college, I did my own personal website and went to work part-time, which felt very deep. Perhaps everyone may not believe that I am three years of college start business, do the Internet. Eight o'clock in the morning to work, two o'clock night to sleep, every day, this lasted for a year. What do you think you're doing? So desperately.

I remember every night after work 12 o'clock, walk three minutes of the road, from the Royal Mansion to Xiamen University, it was winter, I was a cardboard bed a mat, on the edge of a broken cotton to the body of a cover to sleep, sleep very incense. Because you are tired, which tube quilt comfortable uncomfortable? The final result is good, even Baidu and netease such large crocodiles are my partners.

Have experienced this kind of misery, his entrepreneurship is not the same. When Ma wanted to sell QQ, others ordered this thing, said the furniture only value 10~20 million, others are worthless, so Ma later did not sell. If the original so hundreds of thousands of sold, there will be no QQ now.

Successful companies are not so smooth, when NetEase's company fell to 4 cents when the market value of only tens of millions of U.S. dollars, but after two years Ding Lei became the richest man. That kind of market twists and turns will be very big toss the entrepreneur.

Everyone to start a business or their own accumulation or endure such hardships are needed. You see some entrepreneurs, get back in the bathroom http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37392.html ">8000 million dollars this kind of thing don't believe." When a man succeeds, what he says is a myth, and if it doesn't work, nothing he says is useless.

A low-key philosophy

What I want to share with you is that any startup project may be similar to me (meet a strong competitor). How to face such a formidable opponent?

First, be sure to be weak. What do you mean, weakness? Any idea, any technology, any idea don't go too early with the Giants to say. There are one or two internet companies in Shanghai that, when they reach a certain altitude, are going to challenge big companies, which means the Giants will kill you. Refers to the function of covering you, the flow of cover you, the entire user to use the habit of covering you. So when the company is small, we must show weakness.

When I was a Web site, the 1th was with all the companies that had a competitive relationship: this is just what I do personally. Where did I put my ads? Directly on top of my competitors, people don't even like me. They said that in fact, everyone knows, put some ads put some advertising bar, and do not charge money. Now imagine: Sina's ads may be in Sohu? Sohu advertisement may put on Sina? Could Google advertise in Baidu?

Because we were too low-key. Low-key is needed, to lurk. They know what site they're doing, just give him a link. My request is very low, on your website to give me a text link on the line.

Can you imagine: now? What do you have to do to compete with it, they still give me promotion? Then the environment is like this, because no one is optimistic about the site. This is a very good environment, this environment you must learn to be weak. When you're not strong enough, be sure to tell all your peers: I'm just a little brother, I'm very young.

I have always thought that the emergence of domestic social networking sites is Tencent's biggest mistake. Because QQ is the most suitable for social networking sites, but by everyone network breakthrough, come out. Because QQ too late to manage it, no care about it. Now is not the same, Baidu and other large companies see a good company immediately on the equity, it has now been able to look at which industry there are opportunities in the company.

After a certain scale, you can go to finance, you can choose to sell. But I think the average entrepreneur is not very like to sell the company, the general will be entrepreneurial companies as their own son to see, are not willing to sell. So I would like to say that we must pay attention to these links, other experience may be different from each company, these links must be noted.

Don't rush to start a business

A lot of people have not felt their own entrepreneurship, do not know how to communicate with the staff, feel that employees are working for me, in fact, every employee has self-esteem. I now often regret this thing: because I am also anxious temper, the first did not well I will scold him. Scold after the regret, because I think employees can not scold, but also no way, why have this feeling? Because I am in the staff, I also very dislike to hear my boss scold me, say I this thing to do so bad, that thing how to do so bad, because it hurts my self-esteem. In fact, everyone thinks he is a genius, so no one who has been an employee you should not be a boss, you should go to a small business, preferably to a entrepreneurial enterprise to stay, this feeling is very good.

All successful internet entrepreneurs don't have a lot of money to play with their own home, the most is 500,000, Chen is 500,000, MA is 500,000, horse is 500,000, Li is 500,000, 500,000 is a gold figure, so little money.

Now a lot of fu second generation said: "My family has plenty of money, my home is the richest man, what 500,000?" I just hit 500 million, 1 billion. "Don't do it!" Because you don't know what your employees are doing, employees don't know what you're thinking. A normal company must be from 5 people, 10 people, 50 people, 100 people, slowly developed. Alibaba is so, Sina is so, Ma's Tencent is so, Li's Baidu is the same. I believe that a company must slowly get up and not be anxious.

So I want to share with you two points: do not rush to start a business; It's all dangerous. If you want to start a business, you don't have to start a business right away, but you should go to a start-up company, because in this environment you can understand how a company is created and you can understand the hardships of entrepreneurship, and if it fails, it is not you.

This is what I want to say to you: When starting a business, we must solve the good leader. A few people entrepreneurship is very difficult, I think if Mao Zedong can not promises, if Alibaba is not Ma Yun, they will not succeed. Must be a company to have a person in charge, even if he is actually gambling, it must listen to him. Because it's better than being in the same place, it's better than two people walking in two directions, better than falling apart.

Maybe you think that I do not understand him understand, it does not matter, you just first understand the same line, and then slowly recruit in. Because four people if the ability is similar, in the future (we will control the development of the company) direction would be different. This is an experience, three or more people do not succeed in entrepreneurship, only Ctrip. So, to give you a little suggestion: equity must be set up, otherwise there will be risks.
