"Less experience, more impulses", "doing nothing" and "no professional knowledge support" have all along been labeled as various unpopular "hats", and opposition is endless. Even Bill Gates has repeatedly expressed his disapproval of college students dropping out of school and starting businesses in public. "Failure is the mother of success. How can we take the next step without summing up the experience and lessons? " Sitting in front of a reporter, Huang Chen said that he actually wanted to tell more brothers and sisters who are full of entrepreneurial passion. Don't do things that you are completely unfamiliar with. Huang Chen, who was admitted to Shenzhen University in 2005 to study marketing, soon discovered the business opportunities in the campus tourism market. He found a tradition in Shenzhen University. Every holiday, the atmosphere of tourism on campus is very strong. As long as conditions permit, almost every class will organize students to travel. Next semester, the class will organize students to travel to Huang Chen's hometown. In order to save money, the monitor asked Huang Chen to be the host, help order food locally, and act as a tour guide to lead the way. After the trip, Huang Chen began to fidget. Through communicating with tour groups in his hometown, he found that the profit rate of group tour to his hometown is 30 yuan per person. In the next two years, relying on his contacts in his hometown, Huang Chen successfully opened the campus market for group travel. By the second semester of sophomore year, Huang Chen even monopolized this resource, accumulating assets of more than 70,000 yuan. When Huang Chen first tasted the sweetness of entrepreneurship, he had a greater entrepreneurial impulse. "At this level, I want to try more entrepreneurial space." In September 2007, Huang Chen ended his "debut" and made an abacus to the outside world. This time, he aimed at the Olympic tourism market, which was still not prosperous at that time. "If you don't try at school, it will be more difficult to start a business outside." In retrospect, Huang Chen had such great courage to drop out of school and start a business, and his confidence mainly came from his practical experience on campus in those two years. "Never do something completely strange to yourself, even if it is simple." This is Huang Chen's first advice to his disciples. Zhang Peng (pseudonym), who is one year older than Huang Chen, opened a cosmetics online shop with great fanfare without any business experience, and invested a lot of money at once, and is still stuck in it. In order to ensure the feasibility of the project, make a full risk assessment and summarize the reasons for the failure, Huang Chen attributed the most important one to insufficient preparation: "insufficient planning, insufficient project evaluation and too hasty preparation time." From writing the business plan in September 2007 to going north in June 5438+0, Huang Chen and his team completed the project evaluation and fund preparation in only 1 month. In September 2007, Huang Chen wrote a full 100 page business plan, and prepared to go to major universities in Beijing to integrate housing resources, focusing on Olympic tourism projects. With this plan in mind, Huang Chen and his teammates quickly found an investor, and the investor's son joined their team. With the project and funds, everything seems to be going well, which makes Huang Chen very happy. Next, it took him less than 1 hour to complete the suspension procedure. 10, 15 On that day, a group of three of them dragged simple luggage and appeared at Beijing West Railway Station. Just like the plot in a TV series, three people look at the city in front of them with hopeful and affectionate eyes, nervous and expecting. But when they woke up, they found that there was no place to stay. In the next few days, they rented an apartment of 3,000 yuan per month in Beijing, a stranger, and registered the company for 4,000 yuan. They spent nearly ten thousand yuan before starting a business, and their subsequent experience made them more immature. First of all, their high-hopes plan collapsed instantly under the test of reality. Although everyone knows that Olympic tourism is a piece of fat, their abacus is played too early, and many colleges and universities do not have much planning for what will happen after 1. /kloc-After more than 0/month, Huang Chen could not find a school willing to cooperate. Huang Chen and his teammates began to feel confused and didn't know what to do next because the team didn't fully consider the difficulties before they set out and didn't prepare for emergencies. "Ensure the feasibility of the project and make a full risk assessment, even if it takes more time and money." This is Huang Chen's second lesson. If you can do it all over again, Huang Chen hopes to treat his entrepreneurial impulse more rationally, and may choose another more feasible project. Teamwork, someone has to grasp the right to speak. Teamwork has no tacit understanding, escapes from reality, no one takes the lead, and lacks team building ... With the development of work, the disadvantages of hastily forming an entrepreneurial team gradually surfaced. Before leaving Shenzhen, Huang Chen felt that his entrepreneurial team had a basic corporate structure. Among the three people, some are familiar with the project operation, some have the skills of internet communication, and some provide funds. But no one has an absolute advantage. At the beginning of the company, in order to "ease the atmosphere", three people each held one-third of the shares. The dispersion of the right to speak not only brought great trouble to the team in decision-making, but also caused no one to provoke the beam of team building, which gradually made the whole team lose its fighting spirit. "In the end, we are all unwilling to communicate, and no one can solve the problem." Huang Chen tried to break the silence, but no one agreed with him. After several speeches, Huang Chen also gave up. "Teamwork, someone has to grasp the right to speak." Huang Chen summed up the third lesson, "If I go out to start a business now, I will definitely know how to build a team: I must choose an absolute leader who can make decisive decisions in the face of new situations; Then hold regular communication meetings, sum up experiences and lessons, and strengthen cooperation awareness. "In addition to determining absolute leadership, Huang Chen believes that the running-in period of the team is the key factor for the success of the venture. From writing the business plan in September to making a decision in June of 5438+00, the running-in period of the Huang Chen team is only 1 month. " Everyone has different preferences for risks and different styles of doing things. Because we don't know each other, it brings unexpected difficulties to the later work. "In Huang Chen's view, it is difficult for the entrepreneurial team to reach a tacit understanding without a running-in period of two to three years." Think carefully and step by step. "This is Huang Chen's sincere advice to college students full of entrepreneurial impulse.
