To unlock the ten myths of entrepreneurs

Preface: See the article that resonates with me now tend to turn over, then add some explanation with annotation, O (∩_∩) o ..., own writing is getting worse, but the mind of thinking is all the same, O (∩_∩) o ... So turn it and get a stronger version.

The following is the text:

I recently became a http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/17479.html "> venture capitalist, so I can often meet some entrepreneurs [1] always make mistakes in starting a business." To avoid repeating the sermon over and over again, I want to make a summary of these mistakes here:

Myth One: A good idea can make you big money

The truth is that good ideas are neither sufficient nor necessary for business success. Microsoft should be a model for business success, but it cannot find a completely original "good idea" in its entire history. In fact, Microsoft is a step-by-step development by imitating opponents ' ideas and defeating rivals in competition. Google does have some original, like page rank,ad-words, cheap machine clusters, and so on. But none of this was thought by Larry and Sergey. This is not to say that Larry, Sergey and Bill are not smart enough, in fact they are three more sharp than anyone else. But if you think that they just suddenly get an inspiration and then get rich, it can only be said that you are delusional.

(Binbin reviews: Now often in mind there is a saying: Good idea is not valuable, the most valuable or see whether you have the ability to change your idea quickly into executive power)

Myth Two: Things are made to be used by others

Sometimes it's true. Google is a good example. But companies like Google are just Feng Mao

Lun Kok, more companies produce products for this or that reason not to sell. I had such a traumatic experience myself. That was the first company I created in 1993, the name Flownet. It is also the name of a new high-speed LAN communication device. The 10M transmission speed is the standard at that time, but Flownet provides up to 500M transmission speed. In the next five years Flownet has been the best cost-effective network equipment. It even provides a built-in video streaming service to guarantee the quality of the picture. If flownet can be popular all over the world, today's video streaming will be much better than it is now.

But while Flownet can beat any competitor at the technical level, it has suffered a huge commercial failure. We didn't even sell a piece. The reason is simple: it is incompatible with the LAN standard. If we had done our homework and done some market research, we would have known that compatibility, if not fatal, would be a big problem. That way we wouldn't waste our tens of thousands of dollars on patent applications and production of samples.

(Binbin Analysis: The bouquet is also afraid of Deep alley.) Good products also need to promote business and matching needs. Good products need good operating profit model to maintain

Myth Three: If you don't apply for a patent, someone will steal your ideas.

In fact, no one will be interested in your ideas, unless your idea is proved to be successful, but it was too late for the scholar to steal. It is true that someone is very agreeable to your idea, but he will naturally choose to cooperate with you if he is wise, if not, what he does will not threaten you.

Sometimes patents are a bit of a use: it makes investors feel safe. But I strongly recommend that you deal with the patent application, through some learning you can do better than the patent application agent, and can save a lot of money.

(Think of this sentence: has been imitated has never been surpassed.) Even if you steal the creative, you can not completely copy the implementation of the past.
