This small holiday, I asked my childhood friend candy, whom I hadn't seen for many years, to meet in a small cafe nearby. She planned to have a chat. Candy agreed. What I didn't expect is that candy's clothes are still as rustic as before, and there is no fashionable atmosphere that young people should have.
I remember when candy was a child, her family was not very well off. The whole family were serious people. His father often praises him in front of others, saying that he is a good child of genhong miaozheng and that he should be trained into a useful person in the future. So since she was a child, candy has spent her time in the sea of books. Up to now, candy is still a gentle nerd in my mind.
I remember candy was younger than me. He went to primary school with me. When I was in primary school, candy impressed me most that he recited the Analects of Confucius under the pressure of his father before he started school, so that I felt very hard to communicate with him every time. In fact, candy's father's career was also very good. He never skipped the slot. He worked as a security guard in a famous university for a lifetime. But we didn't call security at that time. We used to call the doorman uncle. Only in recent years, we changed our clothes to be called security. Condy's father was influenced by the students and formed a good habit of feeling uncomfortable without reading. It is said that his father brought two boxes of books when he retired. What's more, he can memorize the ancient Chinese Guanzhi, which is said to be the full text.
At the coffee shop, candy gave me a detailed account of his difficult entrepreneurial experience. It's unexpected that it took only three years for candy to go from an errand salesman to a sales supervisor, then own her own company, and then hold nearly ten million assets. This is a counter attack. At this time, I looked at his clothes. His appearance was unbelievable. It really surprised me.
Candy said that it is really difficult for people like us who are almost middle-aged to make a career. Entrepreneurship is actually a toss, but people need to dare to venture and do if they want to have a dream. So don't complain about the ups and downs of your fate and the lack of opportunities. We usually listen to too many complaints from others. The hearts of successful entrepreneurs should be a filter, which can filter out all unhappiness. Only joy, emotion and beauty remain in their hearts.
In the subsequent conversation, I asked candy to share with me her experience of successful counter attack. Candy is as modest as he is wearing. Candy smiled and said that I think too highly of him. He said that he is not a successful person because he has to face difficulties and failures every day, not success. I gave him a few more polite words. Finally, candy thought for a while and said, "if you want me to say something, I'll tell you five personal insights!"
1、 Be good at collecting your time and energy
The resources of our ordinary people in terms of contacts, educational background, family background, etc. are all stretched, or even worthless. The only resources that can be called resources are time and energy. We ordinary people should regard time and energy resources as the greatest wealth of life and treat them as one of the few most worthy breakthroughs.
But the reality is that most of our time is wasted and most of our energy is scattered. We are extraordinary to test how much time we spend on the mobile phone every day. This time does not include the time of using resources to learn things, but simply the time of skipping from one page to another and constantly browsing. Make sure you lose twoorthree hours of your day before you know it.
Think back, what have you gained in these twoorthree hours? How much information about fast food can you remember the next day? Some people say that I am relaxing through entertainment, but you are deceiving yourself. In fact, brushing your mobile phone needs to constantly mobilize your attention. If a person really wants to have fun, twenty or thirty minutes is enough, and the rest of the time to go to sleep or be in a daze. The relaxation effect is many times stronger than brushing the mobile phone.
If you can collect these fragmented time and use it to polish your skills in oneortwo areas, and take two hours a day as the input budget, it will be enough to make you pass the novice period in this field after one year.
2、 Invest in the right bank and enter the right door
If you can put your time together and do something, then your first priority is to find an industry you like and are interested in.
Of course, this can not be determined by your own temperament. You should see whether you are interested in the industry, whether there is market value, and whether you can create income. Some people say that I love playing mahjong. Sorry, there are few consumers willing to spend money to watch you play mahjong in the society. You can only think about becoming the king of gambling.
I tell you, whether an enterprise or a person, it must be the times that make heroes. It is impossible for heroes to make the times. Therefore, the line selection must go upstream. This is a technique. Only when the situation of your chosen industry is good, can we have the opportunity to become heroes. Only after becoming a hero, can we adapt to the current situation, transform the current situation and achieve our own business goals.
Candy said that it is better to choose the industry you are interested in. After all, interest is the best teacher. It doesn't need to be strong. At least it needs to be a little. You can't rely on "perseverance" and "persistence" to get a job that you can't hook up with any interest. We must not overestimate our perseverance.
3、 Distinctive, learn to be different
If you choose a good door, you must make it clear that some skills can be learned quickly in a short period of time, such as hardware, while some skills need an incubation period of slow growth and no immediate feedback, that is to say, it takes a long process to build your soft power.
This period is the most critical. Your state must be adjusted to the best. You should be observant and attentive, and take the initiative to find gaps in the same industry. If you can't find the gap, you don't know what your problem is. If you don't know the problem, you don't know what skills you lack. If you find the skills you lack, that's your characteristic.
For example, if you want to open a store selling rougamo, is it only to make rougamo taste good? Obviously not. You must learn from those successful rougamo shops to see why others can become bigger, and then find the gap from yourself. This period is long. You need to constantly adjust your strategies. Don't copy them. Find your own characteristics. Ultimately you have to be unique.
I don't know if you have found that sometimes the same store sells the same things, and the final performance is also different. Some make big profits, some always drink others' northwest wind, and even lose money. Because what this era needs is not sameness, but innovation. Even if you buy steamed buns, you have to be different.
In fact, many people are left behind in this difficult incubation period. They get boxed lunch and continue to make a mediocre one. As long as you can be patient and find out your own characteristics, your skills will be in place. Then you can be a persistent person and taste the sweetness at the last moment.
4、 The plan should be close to reality and a completion list should be prepared
In short, the plan needs to be persistent, never stay in the comfort zone, nor aim too high, but close to reality. For example, you can easily read 10 pages of books in a certain professional field every day. If you only care about the quantity, you can brush up to 30 pages. The more reliable way is to read about 20 pages, deeply understand them and integrate them with practice.
You must not make a general plan, which is full of principled content but without practical operational provisions. Such a plan has no binding force on you. Don't forget it. It will be inconvenient to ask for it. It is better to make a list of your plans.
If you have a good idea of what to do, you have to break down the things you want to do into small tasks in advance and make a list. For example, I want to open a store at the end of the year, so I will arrange a weekly plan for myself every week to specify what I should do every day and what course materials I should look for on the Internet every weekend to improve myself.
When we sort out these lists and strictly implement them, I believe that you will slowly transform and become very executive. You feel good when you cross off your to-do list.
5、 Read more, this is the best and cheapest way to counter attack
Reading is the cheapest way to change yourself. Through reading, you can see all kinds of people, all kinds of destiny, all kinds of life. In reading, you can find out your own shadow and outline your own life path.
Candy said that she had been familiar with a dream of Red Mansions since she was a child. Although she didn't know what those characters were doing at the beginning, in the face of such a thick book, she was more disgusted and sometimes rebelled. Fortunately, my father always liked to test me from time to time and often asked me to tell him the plot inside. Later, with the experience of life, I realized why that was the classic.
There are many good books around us. For example, when I met you this time, I thought of the kite runner. This novel is about the story between the master and the servant's children. It is unfair. Meeting again after a lot of things will make you understand a lot. Another example is les miserables, which tells that people who steal a loaf of bread because of hunger are imprisoned, suffer hardships, and finally escape. They punish those bad people through the wealth support of their cellmates. This story tells you that good is rewarded for good and evil is rewarded for evil. It is always good to focus on good.
Although the novels are all fictional stories, most of them reflect the reality and the way of dealing with the world. You will find that those who show their sharpness will never live long, those who are timid will always be bullied, and those who do not know how to adapt will generally achieve little, so it is best for people to learn to be mellow. However, there is one more point. You should not read fast food articles. For example, there is nothing you can learn from books that can only make you stupid.
Finally, candy said that if you have to do your best, then listen to God!
