"Guide" This article is the century Jia Yuan, 91 foreign education Net founder @ Gong at the annual meeting of the Foundation, she shares in the article 10 years of experience and lessons, it is worth all entrepreneurs first read (article has abridged).

I am the founder of 91 foreign network, Little Dragon Girl, Century is also the founder of the net, very happy Xu teacher gave me the opportunity, and you share my entrepreneurial experience, I am also particularly grateful to Mr. Xu teacher Wang these years to my love and support, I hope they such an angel can good news, make money a lot. Most of the companies here are internet companies, it is said that China has 2.3 million internet companies, listed less than 40 dozen, on average 60,000 can have a listing, a lot of people think of one out of 10,000, feel the future of a dark, no light.

But greatness is always a boil. October 8, 2003 century Jia Yuan in Fudan University dormitory was born, above only a user, or my girlfriends guest cameo. Who would have thought that we would be listed on Nasdaq in 7.5 and become the lucky one out of 10,000? There are too many difficulties and frustrations during this period, but the entrepreneur is facing all the difficulties encountered on the road and overcoming the difficulties a little bit. In addition I advise you to do the company, do not always think of the listing, but to think about why you want to start a business? As an entrepreneur, the first is to dare to take risks, this world 95% of people, are afraid of risk, escape risk, dare not take risks, only 5% of people, are adventurers, like challenges, not afraid of risk. Now that we have chosen to start a business, we have put aside all our fears and are full of hope for the future. We have defeated ourselves, but it is difficult to overcome ourselves. But we have chosen, do not hesitate, brave forward. And, although the probability of one out of 10,000, but the Han court's Mr. Hanting three times on the Nasdaq ring, I also hope that before the age of 45 to come back again.

In the establishment of 91 foreign education Network before, I have and some friends brainstorming, we feel that I come out to do something to earn some money may not be difficult, but again I want to do in the field of love and marriage status, may not be easy. But I think the Jiangshan, are playing out, the status of the river, are mixed out. If you don't take the first step, how do you know it's impossible? In other words, it doesn't matter if you don't have a status, just find something you like and think makes sense, and make it the ultimate. What if it fails? I am disgusted with the fact that in our culture, the success of the King's defeat, the winners are surrounded by flowers, the losers can not even reap the sympathy. If a person dare to challenge, even if failed, but also to give her encouragement and applause. The first founder of the century is because of their site in the dating agency cheated, and therefore determined to do a good serious marriage website, so took the first step.

Many people say that I do not understand education, I did not know about marriage, and finally not only to make the largest Chinese love and marriage website, oneself also cultivate half emotional experts. Although I do not know education, but I will study hard, in fact, no one is born to understand. I used to do is the vertical subdivision of the Love Field, this time is also a vertical subdivision of the spoken area, are facing individual consumers, there are always some experience to learn from, so I feel that their transformation is not too difficult.

The first business results although it is good, but the process is also very tortuous, there are many lessons, there will be some experience. Let me give you some advice:

1 control cost, eliminate waste. Some entrepreneurs today is still very bitter force, tomorrow got Xu Teacher's money, suddenly can not adapt, carelessly wasted a lot. This waste, sometimes money, sometimes human. I hope I can do better in controlling people this time, and I need to spend more time interviewing everyone who comes in.

2 by example, Tiandaochouqin. What I hate most is that one cannot succeed because of laziness. We can fail because of bad luck, because of wrong judgment, for various reasons, but laziness is the most unforgivable reason. I think that only when you give 120 points of effort, when your efforts to God are moved, God will come out to help. The first venture I was so cautious treading on the mind, I asked myself to do my best, I may be one of the most diligent female CEO, I killed all the shopping and entertainment needs, in addition to work, is the family. Because your energy and time are always limited. Maybe because my starting point is low, so I cherish this heaven-sent opportunity, in the end we became the first listed marriage company, may be God for my hard work of Providence. Some people say that starting a business is a farewell to nine to five, the choice of five-night nine, I think so, and often to six nights 12.

3 Grasp the opportunity, small steps run. The Internet must be fast, if you are slow, do not do it. Recently, a media interview me, said why I do not like a lot of people will adjust a 1.5 years, I do not have a day off, and immediately started the business. I joked that I was the kind of person who broke up with my boyfriend today and could find another boyfriend tomorrow. But the truth is, if I break for half a year, maybe online education of day Lily is cold, I have to find another direction. The internet is so cruel, you are late, you may be doomed forever.

4 Find the wrong, quickly adjust. In fact, in the process of entrepreneurship, many people will find their own choice of direction, or recruit people not to the road, this time must be adjusted as soon as possible. I used to know a startup who has failed for more than three years, because he insists, burns the last dollar and closes the door. His lesson is not to adjust the direction as soon as possible, until the final bullets are gone, can only end.

5 Not only interest as a career, but also the work as fun. Entrepreneurs are generally interested in a field, but work is often repeated day after day. And the whole process to achieve a career and family balance, in fact, very difficult. My balance was just to make Mr. Seven-year family cook at home. I often regard work as life, so I must enjoy it. If you have a hard day, your emotions will infect your co-workers and everyone will feel the pressure. The founder of the company to bring a kind of sunshine, upward, cheerful temperament, and the staff cohesion into a heart. I now two times to start a business, I feel very full and happy. Because you know your life has a goal, you have found a sense of commitment to the employee to the investor, and you see the possibility of breaking the ego.

6 There is a vast world beyond the Internet. Once a friend said to me, who will give me the Internet startup I am anxious. He started a business in the Internet for six years. A few months ago, the transformation contracted a park's recreational facilities, with a little bit of cleverness, doubling the cost of income by half. He told me that the Internet field people are too smart, a bunch of no background, no resources, no relationship, no money of the cock silk, here desperately, and these people have some wisdom and sweat, some dreams and youth. Those Tsinghua University computer department graduated from overseas famous universities, those Xu Teacher's highest IQ, never thought to open a small restaurant, but will want to get a website, the result of everyone's success probability is only one out of 10,000. The traditional industry, like the last Ling De Hongling always said he saw the graphic printing industry more than 20 years, at least 30% of the success rate. To open a small restaurant, make a little money is actually much easier, and today's Xiang-e sentiment is also made by small restaurants. I think young people should learn to look for opportunities in the wider world, not just the Internet.

Today, we draw a pie for investors, and tomorrow we have a dream for ourselves. I wish you all a dream come true!
