This question, well, it's simple if you think about it. What do you like to watch? Big data and platform rules will instantly become your "caring little cotton-padded jacket." In the first year, they push content, and in the second year, they continue. After watching enough, you naturally believe it without a doubt, feeling like you are the embodiment of truth!
Back in the day, when there was no big data push, those opinions still flew into your ears. Ten years ago, every year someone would nag in your ear about how the industry was not doing well, how the pressure was immense, how the risks were unpredictable, how the investment was huge... In short, as soon as you mentioned starting a business, they would flood you with reasons as if you were on a road of no return. Think about it, your family needs you, your parents need you. Can starting a business guarantee success? Even with a success rate of over sixty percent, do you really think your luck is that extraordinary? Then the conversation shifts, and they say how great it is to work for someone else, just like a monk ringing the bell for a day, getting paid on time, so worry-free and stable, it's simply the choice of a life winner!
In fact, every year there are industries thriving and others cooling down. Some platforms are making a fortune, while many are going bankrupt. They love to magnify the cases of failure, making you so scared before you even start that your legs go weak. They constantly undermine your courage and deny your wisdom, as if they were gods who understood everything.
However, if you look closely, those who advise you against starting a business are either members of the failure alliance or are in the business of harvesting you. Oh dear, I accidentally spoke the truth!
When have we ever seen successful entrepreneurs advising against starting a business, constantly painting a picture of how terrifying failure is? Instead, those who stumble and toil on the entrepreneurial path without much return always act like "I've been there," secretly telling you a "huge secret": because of the pandemic, starting a business is like looking for death. They are all seasoned pros, and you are a newbie; don't even think about it, just thinking is a waste of brain cells.
Some people, in order to attract attention and make money from traffic, see that such articles are popular and jump on the bandwagon. At the end of the article, they seriously tell you that while starting a business may not work, you can do side jobs, or you can join my entrepreneurial team, just pay a little money. Their subtext is: starting a business is risky, what if you lose? This little money is nothing compared to starting a business! Join us, and you'll get rich; I am your savior!
But, if you peel back this layer of shame, you'll find that all they say is just to dig into your pockets. They say what everyone wants to hear just to make some traffic money. Anyway, they don't have to take responsibility; if you're scared, that's your problem, they are quite happy inside. As long as there is even a slight possibility of failure, they can blow the failure scenario out of proportion. After all, no one will say they are wrong.
So, what I want to say is, if you are really suited for entrepreneurship, don't pay attention to those articles that scare you. Look more at successful cases; who knows, it might inspire you! If you don't plan to start a business or feel it's not suitable for you, don't listen to those old clichés either. If you are just looking for a sense of validation, thinking that the big shots think the same way, that's fine; after all, occasionally getting validation from big shots can make you feel good for a while!
In short, when facing the issue of entrepreneurship, we need to maintain a rational and objective attitude and not be influenced by some one-sided statements. At the same time, we must believe in our abilities and potential, bravely pursue our dreams and goals. Only in this way can we walk further and more splendidly on the road of life. Of course, I also understand those who hold reservations about entrepreneurship. After all, starting a business is not an easy task; it requires a lot of effort, time, and money. Moreover, the risks of entrepreneurship cannot be ignored; once you fail, it may lead to serious consequences. Therefore, for those who are not adequately prepared and confident, choosing a stable job or doing side jobs is indeed a more prudent choice.
However, we must also see that entrepreneurship is not just about risks without opportunities. On the contrary, it is precisely because entrepreneurship has high risks that it also brings the possibility of high returns. If you have a good idea or concept and are willing to put in the effort and time, then entrepreneurship may bring you unexpected gains and achievements.
Of course, entrepreneurship is not something that can be achieved overnight. Before starting a business, we need to make adequate preparations and plans, including market research, funding preparation, team building, and other aspects of work. At the same time, we also need to continuously learn and improve our abilities to better cope with various challenges and difficulties in the entrepreneurial process.
Finally, I want to say that whether you choose to start a business or take another career path, the most important thing is to maintain a positive attitude and a spirit of continuous progress. Only in this way can we keep moving forward on the road of life and realize our dreams and goals.
In this era full of opportunities and challenges, let us bravely pursue our dreams together! Whether it's entrepreneurship or other career paths, as long as we put our hearts into it, we can definitely create a wonderful life that belongs to us!
I once thought about starting a business for a while, but the people around me all advised me not to. Their reasons were simple: the current situation is not right, many people find it very difficult to find jobs, let alone start a business. Moreover, starting a business is a matter of life and death; many shops that used to be bustling are now closed, indicating an economic downturn and a high likelihood of failure in entrepreneurship.
They are unwilling to discuss what business you want to do, whether you have a feasible plan; these are not their concerns. They believe that starting a business is a dangerous thing. However, when we examine the past of those who hold such views, we find that they have never started a business but have been working hard day after day in ordinary basic positions. Thus, it is not difficult to understand their perspective and mindset.
In their eyes, no matter how much money the boss makes, they only see the costs. For example, if the boss invests one hundred thousand and earns one million, that business should be considered good, right? However, they only want to see the one hundred thousand cost and then say that for a worker to earn one hundred thousand is very difficult, yet the boss just invested that amount.
If all you hear around you are such voices, it may indicate that your social circle consists of a group of workers. It is very difficult to gain widespread recognition in this circle. Because your actions are like telling a baby that the solution to calculus is correct, yet this baby cannot possibly understand what you are trying to express.
Therefore, the correct approach is to ask the right people. For example, if you join an entrepreneurial team, what you hear every day is likely to be encouragement to start a business. Of course, whether to heed these suggestions is up to you. Just like the little horse crossing the river, both the squirrel and the old horse may not be entirely correct; the key is to conduct a proper analysis of yourself, bravely practice the right ideas, and achieve success in practice. Finally, I wish every dreamer success in their future endeavors.
