10.？ Please pursue your ideal instead of money, because money will leave you one day. ? Tony Hsieh (Tony Hsieh, founder of Zapposite)

How to start a business? 1.

Is there a way for the project? Will it work? To put it bluntly, whoever benefits is responsible. Personally, I think the most classic business plan is: fight local tyrants and divide fields! In short, everyone knows what to do and what to get. The so-called interests are nothing more than power, money, reputation and sex. In the end, for whom and on which projects did you benefit? You must think clearly. This is the foundation of survival. Who is in charge, who says hello, who spreads you, who is in charge of the product. The bigger the responsibility group, the faster the development.

2. people

How many people are needed in the verification phase of this project? People consider from two conveniences: first, skills, and directly examine past work experience. The second is cooperation, try to find people who have worked together to cooperate, and the core personnel pay special attention to whether there is a running-in period in this respect. What does the project need to do? You must be clear in your heart, and at the same time, you must be clear about what your partner wants to do and what you can do to get together and finally decide what to do. If you are too reluctant, you will not be happy, nor will it last. Sooner or later, it will be a trouble.

3. money.

How much does it cost to start the project to the expected stage? The first choice is to make money, form a small team, and make money without investing too much. This is the ideal situation. Secondly, financing, the power of capital is powerful, but the cost of financing is high. It is not a one-off event to establish continuous communication and trust with investors, so we must be psychologically prepared. The last time you paid for a project that didn't make money or get financing in a short time, its chances of success in the end were extremely slim. Unless you are rich, you are likely to put a little money into it without even seeing the bubble, which will eventually bring trouble to your family.

4. Time.

Do the right thing at the right time, the form is always changing. Entrepreneurship requires both passion and courage, as well as rationality and patience. Starting a business for the first time is always too emotional to look at the problem realistically. Fight if you win, run if you don't win, sell if you can't run, and close if you can't sell. You don't need checkpoints to win the battle, you just need to cover and kill. Only by losing the battle can the quality of the commander be tested, and losing a mountain can be orderly. The master is not sailing against the current and being a hero, but sail before the wind in the end! This may be nonsense, useless. Because only those who persist can understand what it means to let go. In terms of timing, every entrepreneur may have to pay tuition.

5. Geographical location.

The local government determines the project cost, personnel mentality, media radiation, policy support, team building, personal network and financial support. We should objectively analyze our own conditions, weigh the trade-offs, and give full play to our regional advantages. For example, the advantage of Beijing is its strong brand radiation. People all over the country know that it snows in Beijing. Similarly, any good project in Beijing can spread to the whole country at once. But Beijing's shortcomings are impetuous, too many stories, too many myths and legends, and too many words. How to arrange the work focus objectively and realistically according to the different stages of the project? Just think clearly, you can't generalize.

6. system.

The most fundamental system is fairness, which not only ensures the centralization of decision-making, but also weighs the sense of belonging of the team. What kind of peacemaker method, such as 50-50 split, is absolutely not desirable. It must be clear who is relying on the company and who is making the final decision. Democracy cannot fight. The cost of making a quick decision and readjusting after making a mistake is far less than the cost of sitting and talking endlessly. In addition, the moral bottom line is concise: don't be greedy, don't sell yourself, don't be against yourself, and don't disobey orders. Other parts, jointly decided to abide by. For startups, the fundamental system is the equity system. On this basis, the role of personnel is far greater than the system. Leading big brother needs heart and courage, can tolerate almost any shortcomings and constantly discover advantages. In the early days, people's subjective initiative far exceeded the system.

7. luck.

Entrepreneurship is an art, not a science. Science has two remarkable characteristics, one is that it can be repeated, and the other is that it cannot be proved wrong. However, entrepreneurship does not meet these two points. The second person may not be able to walk on the same road. The form is always changing, and it is too big to imitate. Any successful case of starting a business can find more failed cases to disprove it. The same project, almost the same team, similar trading methods, and even the office are upstairs and downstairs. But the final result may be just the opposite. This is the charm of art. Success is 99% effort+1% luck, but this 1% luck is much more important than 99% effort. Man proposes, God disposes. Seeking only makes the probability of success greater, and there is no guarantee that it will succeed. Therefore, it is ok to start a business. If you persist in failure, you will prove that you are still young. Don't be too sad.

The above seven points are all paper plans. The following is the trading method: 1. Choose a general direction.

Entrepreneurship has many directions, such as e-commerce, games, socialization, O2O and so on. Through continuous learning, pay attention to venture capital information, technology blogs, etc. At the same time, integrate into the entrepreneurial circle to communicate with people, and choose a general direction that you are interested in based on your own work experience. Once you choose, don't change it easily, because interlacing is like a mountain, and any industry has hidden rules. It takes time to pay tuition. If you keep changing industries, you will probably waste your time, but you know everything and are not good at it. Entrepreneurship is to do what others can't do. It doesn't matter what you think, it's the most important thing to be an expert in a certain field. How to become an expert, time accumulation and mistakes and lessons are necessary. For example: good direction: Internet finance, agricultural e-commerce, soft and hard combination, big data, health care, clean energy, new agriculture, O2O segmentation, etc. Trap direction: pan-O2O platform, mobile Internet, social platform, 3D printer, etc. The so-called trap is that the hype is very hot and the macro is beautiful, but it is not practical at all, or the cost is extremely high, or there is no breakthrough in key technologies. This is not what grassroots should do.

What is the specific general direction? Three considerations: First, new markets brought about by the emergence of new technologies (note that it is new technologies, not technological upgrading, and the time window for technological upgrading is often very short, and they are all self-cultivation fields of existing bosses, so don't move easily), such as the Internet revolution. The second is the market brought about by the relaxation of national policies. For example, allowing commodity trading to bring the real estate market. It is estimated that the confirmation of land rights will produce a new landlord class, and at the same time, it will also bring a new market, and the prospect of new agriculture is promising. The third is the consumption upgrade brought about by the increase in income. For example, KFC and McDonald's in county towns, like vegetable markets, are much better than businesses in urban areas. If you join Pizza Hut in a small county, business will not be bad. It will be the general trend for the consumption pattern of first-and second-tier cities to shift to county-level cities. Of course, the most important thing is according to your own conditions and interests. Anything you can think of will be done by many people. How to do better than others needs to be considered by yourself.

2. Select an entry point.

There are many demand points in a general direction. At the beginning of starting a business, don't start all the way, but choose the starting point. Make an absolute breakthrough at a point, and then use a line to expand.

Take O2O as an example: O2O is a big direction, narrowing down to a specific industry, such as catering (everyone is familiar with it but it is not a good starting point). The dining is too big, so narrow it down to fast food. Next, we must determine the starting point and what problems the fast food industry should solve. Who is responsible for the gross profit? Solve the problem of fast food delivery? Solve the convenience of ordering food? Solve customer information management? Or is it better and cheaper? There's something to be solved at first. For example, solve the problem of fast food distribution. Then the next step is very simple, choose the target area (office building or school, which is easy to verify). What website ah, don't. Find a person who is currently in the food delivery business and tell him to help him deliver goods for free. See if we can deliver the food faster. Finally, you may find the problem: you can't go any faster. Because the office elevator is blocked at every meal. So fast food restaurants have already prepared standard meals, and each floor has been booked in advance. And every store has a tacit understanding. If new competitors come, there will probably be friction. Fight? Quarrel? Pay attention to safety? Haha, I found that I was wrong from the beginning. What shall we do? Please see point four.

3. The detailed workload is quickly pushed to the end.

After choosing the starting point, the next step is speed and execution. Coordinate the workload in hours, take days as reward and punishment time points, and take weeks as feedback cycle. If the work can't be accurate to the hour, there is only one reason: the starting point exceeds the trading ability of the team (it is unrealistic to eat a fat man in one bite). If we can't take the day as the time point of reward and punishment, the speed and intensity of execution will have an impact. If you can't review the plan every week, you will miss opportunities, waste time and lose morale. Not afraid of making mistakes, but afraid of procrastination.

4. Adjust the entry point and push forward again.

If you push to the end and find that the final expectation is wrong, it doesn't matter, adjust the starting point and keep pushing. It is not good to improve the speed of food delivery, but you can also try to improve the convenience of ordering. Continue to advance according to the above method. Repeated and rapid trial and error is the best way to train the team and find the direction quickly. Don't argue all the time, waste time and miss opportunities.

5. expansion.

After finding the breakthrough point. Quickly sum up experience, form a process, and quickly expand. The next possible focus is to find someone to find money.

6. Establish a threshold.

Is there a threshold for business model? If not, we must quickly establish the threshold of capital. If your financing conditions are not good, you can't establish a threshold. Think of a way out quickly.

7. quit.

A way to earn money without a threshold will attract a large number of competitors in a short time, and the time window is very short. First of all, make money if you can, and accumulate as much as possible to prepare for the hard guerrilla warfare in the future. Second, consider selling. It's acceptable if you can get a good price. If you can't make money and sell it, then shut it down and start again. Do not hesitate. Zombie projects are far more painful than admitting failure quickly.
