Recently with a former social domain madman, the internet Super Senior player, angel investor chat, this person big love. He has recently made a feat, one months time to vote out of the six months of money out. From every time he deeply saw the Internet from the perspective of the potential, he said this period of time on the Chinese dozens of entrepreneurs, although the possible selection of specimens is not much, but hope to give you some inspiration. His most shocking sentence: China's Internet entrepreneurship, to do anything can be successful.
"China's Internet entrepreneurship, can do anything to succeed." "-It's hard to hold on
Maybe a lot of people see this as a success, or a soul chicken soup. I'm sorry to tell you that, no, after he said this sentence. Made a more accurate interpretation of all this.
"The main is to see the belief of the team, this group of people have a common belief, can stick to it, rather than let others easy to dig away, leave." ”
I believe everyone in the interview of many internet bosses have heard, insist. These two words look really flat, and for non-entrepreneurs it seems like it's easy to do. Compared to what they think, money, talent, the environment is much simpler. But as a writer of several startups, it's really hard to stick to it. The degree of difficulty is undoubtedly the first.
If there is no direct understanding of adherence to this concept, just to give you an example: in a stable big company, BAT. This type, if one day your leader tells you, Xiao Chen, this month the company has difficulty, this month you will not take the salary. Will you say yes? Believe that any person who has worked in a large company will not agree, what is more, the company monthly salary of 10th, a two or three days late, will be with the financial to explore a situation. This is the spirit of working, how much money, how many things, and can only with Gan, never bitter.
The start-up company is very simple and rough, start-up company CEO (the entire company on 10 people) to tell you, Xiao Chen, this month is not very good, the top one, next month together issue not. Xiao Chen, "No problem, I understand." "I understand that this is the most direct explanation, entrepreneurial leadership and staff to form a strong community of interests, rather than each bosom ambidexterity, in order to achieve this very beautiful goal, one months without pay, two months, three months, six months." For a not listed, no profit equivalent to the dead of the equity and efforts, this is the spirit of entrepreneurship, this insistence, is "China's internet entrepreneurship, do anything can be successful." "The spirit, built on this, was covered with a lot of hardship, pain, unspeakable.
"The so-called blue sea market, does not exist, more is done rather than the market." "-Do the giant disdain
The internet in China, there is no blue sea, in the case we see, the layout of large companies is the number of clear. But when we don't see it, there may be dozens of or even hundreds of projects for big companies. It covers a wide range of market, even can say, almost all projects in large companies have embryonic form, but this area is not able to achieve their internal recognition, can become a strategic point, it is very difficult.
More often, the entrepreneur is faced with the market that big company does not specialize, big company can do, also want to do, but will not devote big energy, even can say to this market disdain. The most vivid example, 58 with the city, to push the team thousands of people, daily contact with thousands of small businesses, this kind of physical activity, probably for large companies is not very important. Moreover, several marriage companies, lily nets, precious nets, century Jiayuan, for love and marriage just need, big company is not unknown, but in this business input output than can not achieve a strong growth rate, the market is not big enough, after the investment may need to quickly reduce the cost scale, this point, large companies can not do.
There are lots and lots of markets that do not specialize, this is also the sentence above, to do what can be successful echoes, many "would-be entrepreneurs" always imagine Steve Jobs, think of a can be enough to change the world idea, in the course of business, even spent a lot of money, time to explore this unassailable idea above, But he still hasn't taken that step. One day he really thought of the idea of his own time, has been a big step. Entrepreneurship requires more landing, not fantasy. You would-be entrepreneurs, do not think about what the blue sea market, the heart to do it first.
"Successful entrepreneurs are not step, but are constantly trying to make mistakes and practice in the process of entrepreneurship." ”
-Too many would-be entrepreneurs in China
Now in China's Internet entrepreneurship wave, more are "would-be entrepreneurs" rather than entrepreneurs. "Quasi-entrepreneur" is characterized by fear of failure, full of ideals, knowledge and behavior, hearsay, every day a new idea, a good job, no spirit of adventure. If you have one of these features, I'm sorry to tell you that you're not really good at being a real entrepreneur.
You may always be just a "would-be entrepreneur", has been thinking of starting a business as a part-time, and has been reluctant to resolve their existing life to subvert, from a daily point of commuting, pay the wages of the work of understanding, become a meal uncertain, commuting time is uncertain, income expenditure unknown entrepreneur. How can you even dare to subvert your own life and talk about subversion of the Internet, subversion of traditional industries and subversion of the world?
The successful entrepreneur is more, when he has a small idea in mind, he has begun to do, whether it is online travel, car networking, hand tour or software outsourcing, design outsourcing, and even repair mobile phones. It can be a point of their own business, instead of yelling at themselves is a micro-letter second, Taobao second, Jing Dong Second, millet second this chanting, in their own step rhythm, with the initial goal as the starting point, the entrepreneurial process of constant trial and error-practice-correction-trial and error-practice-fixed. To do a virtuous cycle, and all this in the Internet entrepreneurs reflected in the incisively and vividly.
Qihoo Zhou from Yahoo, still want to do a search community, but also include the same as the current Baidu encyclopedia question-and-answer search, but in the entrepreneurial exploration process, to a killing rogue software Plug-ins as a point of entry, change the path to free anti-virus directly subvert the billions of value of the "charge antivirus" market, has become one of the most influential internet companies outside of bat.
State digital Zhang, from 3G Portal (WAP site), to "mobile phone Heart" (Symbian System mobile software) to "Go Desktop" (Andro app), when I was a student, 3G portal to watch the rocket graphics and text game million users online, but also failed to give the long bang digital benefits, until the go desktop , in the trial and error, after a detour, with an application from overseas began, and finally successfully listed.
Burson Interactive Zhang Wei, die knock Tencent insisted on doing a chat room for 7 years, finally turned to the arms of chess game, adhere to the seven years of things, who can easily give up, but the team is still, we believe in the same, again to convert the battlefield, from the first turn back to the domestic mobile end of the game of chess boss, The final realization of Hong Kong listing.
Saying these three examples is not to tell you that starting a business is a success, but these examples in the trial and error-practice-correction-trial and error-practice-correction This path is more representative, I would like to share with the Angel friend, the success of entrepreneurship, whether the IPO is never a standard. Success has a big and a small, when a start-up company has a monthly net profit of 2 million, in my understanding, they have a team of 10 people, have been very nourishing, feed themselves, and have extra money, can do some more different innovation, which is also a success of the start-up company. Any successful start-up company, all in the change of success, you do not change, in this message million change the Internet, has been behind a lot.
Conclusion: After I read the angel of these words, I believe that many would-be entrepreneurs need to think about their own way out, you really are not suitable for entrepreneurship, even if "bleeding entrepreneurship" will not succeed. Conversely, those who meet the above stringent conditions of entrepreneurs, if the current difficulties, please persevere, you will be the backbone of the future Internet.
