Talk about starting a business

Entrepreneurship has been more than a year, has not serious to update this blog, friends have said that completely abandoned too bad, but I have not cared. One is not like before doing freelance and consulting work so that personal comparison free time is more well-off, and secondly, contact with people, things more, found that they know too little, too superficial.

More than 400 days of time passed, many friends, peers are very curious about "their own company" is what kind of feeling, I think with the current experience, I just counted just getting on the road, dare not talk about "sharing", can only say some of the inner thoughts and everyone to communicate. In fact, I think whether it is 3, 5 small team, or thousands of large companies, entrepreneurial story can be said 10 days 10 nights.

The first thing to say is that "starting your own company" is just a common form of entrepreneurship, not equivalent. Entrepreneurship can not open the company, not entrepreneurship can also open the company. and the initial hardships and risks of entrepreneurship are enormous: in April this year, I attended an industry summit in which many entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs at home and abroad were contacted, and almost everyone agreed that, in many startups, several founders were "working" for dozens of employees: with a meager salary, All the energy is invested in the development of the enterprise, product research and development optimization and employee welfare benefits, bear all the risks of failure (if the employee's wages are not refunded, and the entrepreneur's input is all wasted) – no one dares to consider their own interests until the company is thoroughly into the virtuous circle. I think, for the real love of their own industry entrepreneurs, should have such experience.

By the way, I would like to say a few words: in order to minimize the risk to employees, startups should have a slightly higher salary than big companies, companies that claim to be holding down their salaries or defaulting on their salaries in the start-up phase, and if they do not have shares to consider (proving that the management team's profitability is too weak, the company risks too much) In addition, I think in China, it is really prudent to use the concept of "equity", which does not apply to most people, in my industry, I have witnessed an example: a few companies give a low salary + a large number of shares, and a company to pay a high salary, the latter quickly grew up, The few companies that kept their paychecks down were almost dead.

Next, the profound experience of teaching, than "entrepreneurship is to make money," the thinking of the total subversion-this is a superficial pure businessman thinking, not entrepreneurial thinking. Entrepreneurs, of course, can be pure businessmen, but I think many entrepreneurs are not. I think that the real entrepreneurial, is running a goal, learning, hone, to do those most basic and hard to do the most people do not want to do the work of the so-called when the boss enjoy. However, I prefer to think of this process as a magical journey: this toil, fatigue, and inner oppression can always be released, and so circulated, by some small pleasures before the crushing of me. I think that high pressure entrepreneurship will make it easier for people to realize real happiness. And it has nothing to do with how much money a project earns. After financing, many companies still devote themselves to researching products and innovations and handing over purely commercial matters to investors. Now there are many self-help books, there are many http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/9667.html "> successful people talk about how to start a business how to make money, in my opinion, Most of these people are businessmen (the people who preach the thick black study I don't think even the businessman) can not be counted as entrepreneurs, interest incentives generated by the momentum and the pursuit of industry development is the driving force, is completely different from two kinds of power, although can make people sleep, but only the latter, Can let you in the storm and the steady grasp of their own direction, palm steady rudder.

However, entrepreneurship is impossible to leave the concept of "business", even to do charity, but also need to have a business acumen. "How to position products in the market", "products can create value for users", "products can be directly or indirectly from the user to charge how much profit", "how to understand an unknown partner", "How to get more from the partners to deserve more benefits" ... This is the entrepreneur to consider at the beginning of the problem, this is the soul of the enterprise. This is also the most technical, product-born entrepreneurs are the most easily lost places: They tend to tangle user experience is good, technical framework implementation is not very difficult. I think, this is a kind of business intuition, need talent, also need to carry on the accumulation and study in the dribs and drabs of the company operation, it is difficult to learn in the textbook. This is a little like the "Pony River" story, do not personally to do, go to the wall, to taste the sweetness, it is difficult to know shallow water depth, the taste, not entrepreneurial is not realized. Interestingly, I know that some entrepreneurs, with a lot of experience, went abroad to go to an MBA, and came back thinking that the MBA was just a package for themselves, and that the real business idea was nurtured in the Mano battle.

By the way, the most regrettable is that the domestic education most of the scripted, cramming, so the domestic entrepreneurs in the early 20, few. In the United States, students have an early chance to practice themselves, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg were born in 1984, even the founder of the Russian social platform вконтакте Павел Дуров was born in 1984. The founders of some of our company's overseas partners are also very young, and I've met two CEOs, born in 1987 and 1983, and their companies are earning more than million dollars a month.

All in all, the road to entrepreneurship is long and hard, but if you look at it as a game or a magical journey, it becomes very good. Sometimes life is not so.
