Good question. I graduated from college for 4 years. When I first came out, I also had the idea of starting a business and felt that there was a great chance of success. But I decided to go to work and accumulate experience first.
Later, after working for about half a year, I found that the choice of accumulating experience may not be wrong. The main reasons are as follows.
The details can't be realized because I just graduated from college. I must have an idea. After all, every college student should have had it. Maybe sometimes an idea feels feasible. However, because of inexperience, it is difficult to achieve specific details. For example, this idea contains a certain function or product, but how to do it? How many steps have been taken? What are the criteria for each step? What factors will directly affect the product effect and so on.
It seems that when I took the exam before, I thought I should do well in the exam, and the results were often poor after all; On the contrary, when it feels infeasible, or when the possibility is 50%-60%, it may be better after all.
So I think it's good to have ideas, but it's best to accumulate several years' work and master every detail before starting a business.
Shortage of resources The university has just graduated, and the resources are definitely insufficient. The resources here may be suppliers, users, funds and so on. Many people around me will deliberately collect these resources at work, and it is estimated that they will have their own ideas of starting a business in the future.
The lack of contacts in today's society is very secular. If there is not enough connection, things may get into trouble. For example, a colleague of mine, who is a small business himself, has not many users and talked about a supplier, but he hasn't replied for a long time. It happened that a manager of the company cooperated with the supplier, so he made an appointment to talk, and then there was a supply.
lack of ability
Even if the idea is implemented, it has been successfully made, but now the head effect of various industries is very strong and it is easy to be copied. It is difficult to maintain self-cognitive ability. For example, there used to be many fresh food stores where college students started their own businesses, and various marketing methods were very useful. Many large and medium-sized fresh food stores are suppressed by red envelope benefits, discounted at a loss, and then copied. Now these small fresh food shops are basically gone.
To sum up, of course, this is just my personal opinion. If the subject and everyone have their own opinions, you can leave a message to comment and exchange.
I don't advocate starting a business after graduating from college. I strongly suggest to accumulate some work experience and social experience before considering whether to really start a business. Some experienced HR even give extreme advice. If there is no economic pressure, it is suggested that families give college graduates a "groping period" and then determine their careers.
0 1 There are many factors to consider when starting a business. The first thing to consider is your "initial heart". Why did you start a business? What kind of internal motivation drives you to start a business? This is not just a simple idea. Motivation and enthusiasm are enough.
Don't believe everything the business leaders say. For example, Ma Yun said, "I have never had the concept of money". However, it is true that a boss of Ma Yun's level has his own beliefs and ideals about what he wants to start a business, and he can also succeed in starting a business. This ideal is not only to make money, but also to achieve something. Their initial intention is to realize their wishes and open up new fields through their own efforts.
So if a person really wants to start a business, he must understand his original intention. What is your "initial heart" for? Just to get rid of the step-by-step work at work, or think that starting a business can make you more money, or what kind of career you want to achieve.
Some college students want to start a business, but they just feel that going to an ordinary class is boring or their income is relatively low. They always feel that starting a business can bring them higher income and so on. From this point of view, it is impossible to be completely wrong, but at least he is one-sided; There are still many college students who believe that you can have passion to start a business, but the key depends on how long your passion can last. Passion comes and goes quickly. Maybe you will retreat immediately when you encounter three or five difficulties in the process of starting a business. Then, if you are not fully prepared, starting a business is very easy to fail.
02 preparation for starting a business You should be fully prepared for starting a business, which is multidimensional: psychology, finance, management, team, skills, work experience and so on.
Before you really start a business after graduating from college, you might as well engage in the work you are interested in, or learn about the work you want to start a business in the future, and then see if your enthusiasm can last. If your enthusiasm can last for a long time, and your enthusiasm is not only that I want to start a business, but also that I want to start a business very, very much, then at least on this psychological level, you can say that you are ready.
Starting a business is not simple. You can do it vigorously if you have money. If you want to be an enterprise, you must understand the operating framework of the enterprise, understand the national policies and be familiar with dealing with departments at all levels. In addition, as an entrepreneur, you should have the ability of management and design. Even if you have no management experience, you should at least have the ability of management structure, organization and leadership. Starting a business does not mean that you can start a business alone, but also know how to structure, how to form a team, how to lead a team, and how to integrate this team. If you have no experience and want to explore while starting a business, will your startup cost be too high? Isn't Dai Wei in Xiao Huang a vivid example?
The preparation of funds is also the key to starting a business. Where does the start-up capital of newly graduated college students come from? Maybe there is no shortage of money at home, but are you sure how to use the money? If you are not a well-funded person, what kind of ability do you have to persuade investors to invest in you?
Let's take a look at some well-known rich second generation enterprises, whether they are familiar Wang Sicong, Xiao Fei and Liu Qinghao in Rainbow. Their elders are also business leaders, all born in families with no shortage of funds, but none of them started their own businesses as soon as they graduated. After leaving school, you may have some experience in family business or other businesses, which is very necessary. Working in other enterprises can help you understand the operating mechanism and management mechanism of enterprises, and have personal experience and accumulated experience on how to attract and use talents. These experiences are of great help to your future business, that is, to accumulate more abilities for yourself through the help of others.
Starting a business from small to large
College students do not mean that they can never start a business after graduation. Some small businesses and even self-employed individuals can try it. Don't rush to start pursuing greatness and success.
You can start with small things. Being an individual enterprise or a small enterprise can also help you accumulate rich experience and understand the society, including how to deal with management departments. In this process, you can also re-examine whether your initial entrepreneurial intention is as ambitious as it was at the beginning.
As a small enterprise, you may be far away from the huge enterprise you originally imagined. In this process, you may kill your enthusiasm, or on the contrary, you will stimulate your enthusiasm for starting a business and make yourself more confident. Then treat this process as a kind of practice. When you practice your hand to a certain extent, it is natural to upgrade the monster, so the possibility of success will be higher.
It is a good thing for college students to want to start a business after graduation, but it is not just passion. Passion is enough. You need to be prepared in all aspects. You might as well calm down, give yourself some time, study in some excellent enterprises, accumulate more for yourself, check whether your initial heart has changed, and then it will be too late to start a real business.
It depends on your family's financial situation. If you have money at home, you can start a business directly. Even if it fails, it doesn't hurt. Just spend money to buy experience.
If the family background is not good, it is recommended to go to work in a company of the type of industry you want to start a business, and accumulate certain economy and experience before starting a business, which is safer.
A strong desire to start a business means that if you go to work, you can't do your job well because you don't want to work for others. If you start a business, what are your specialties, what will you do and what do you want to do?
In fact, everyone doesn't want to work and wants to have their own career. If you want to succeed, you must first work hard, start a business and choose a job, you must work hard and make progress.
Everyone has a different understanding of entrepreneurship. People with rich family background are stable no matter how they start a business, and they have strong anti-risk ability behind them. This is invisible stability. Many people see that people's lives are bumpy, but they don't see the stability behind them. There is nothing behind you, learn from others, or you will die!
What are people who have no family background or a very thin family background reading books for more than 20 years? You told me you wanted to change the world, you wanted to change this and that, son, you are so naive! I don't have the heart to tell you some truth.
The human species has multiplied for thousands of years, and we can't change the survival rules formulated by the rulers of the upper species. As a life, when you come to this world, you have to live under the rules they make. Don't you study hard and work hard to live a better life?
After studying hard, I have a stable job at present. If the family is poor, take it first, settle down first, accumulate your own capital for survival, and then look at the opportunities slowly and steadily. If your family is poor, a stable job is in front of you, and you refuse, that is ...
Let me give you an example: a man is hungry for a long time, and he goes over mountains and mountains in search of food. Fortunately, he found an oasis. He found many people on the oasis, and they were also looking for food. Some are stronger than him, some find a lot of food, and some help him find food. He saw others eating meat and they said it was delicious. Yeah, who doesn't want to eat meat? Who doesn't know that meat smells good? He dragged his tired body to continue searching. On this day, he found a pile of food, but it was vegetarian. He didn't want it, so he turned away! Because someone told him that meat was delicious, he felt that he was an unusual person and would definitely find meat. As the days passed, he still couldn't find anything to eat. He regretted it. Why didn't he eat those vegetarian dishes at first? It's okay for him to keep looking for meat when he's full! Yes, why not look for meat when you are full?
Children with thin family background should not be misled by some seemingly correct remarks. A stable job is equivalent to a pile of "vegetarian dishes". Although it is not very fragrant, you will not be hungry after eating, and you will have the strength to find meat when you are full.
I made this. Amazon sells 385 euros a day, which is converted into RMB 2979, and the profit is more than half.
According to the current statement, the success rate of college students' entrepreneurship in China is only about 5%, far below the international average. If you think you can be the lucky 5%, you can start a business. But calm down and think about it, the success of college students' entrepreneurship is far from optimistic, maybe 2-3% is fairer. Because not every college student can solve the financial problem when starting a business, except for those who have mines at home, some successful first-time businesses have gone downhill and disappeared everywhere. It can be said that this is a point of no return. It may be suitable for individual college students, but it should never be widely advocated among graduates.
We always see the glamour of successful people, but ignore those unhappy and indebted losers.
In addition to mines at home, a large part of the funds for ordinary college students to start businesses come from their parents' support or loans. This is a big bet, it can be said to be a gamble. There is a 50% chance to bet on the quality of coins, which is less than 5%. The difficulty can be imagined. Marketing issues, management issues, and the most critical financial issues. These are not easy for fresh graduates to solve.
Starting a business after working for a period of time, I personally recommend the latter method. On the one hand, you can get a stable income from your work, on the other hand, you can save money for starting a business, whether it is money, understanding of the industry or contacts. At this time, the success rate of starting a business will be much greater.
Conclusion Start your business after work. The former had a narrow escape, while the latter had a good chance of survival.
Congratulations, you are a man with dreams and opinions.
However, the ideal is full and the reality is the backbone. No matter what you do, you can't just stay at the level of thinking. The first step you need to do is to analyze your actual situation.
For example, if you have relevant entrepreneurial experience, accumulated experience and network resources, then you can try. After all, there are still dreams. What if it succeeds?
If you have no such experience in college, it is not recommended that you try. Because you just graduated from college, you know nothing, have no professional knowledge, and have no connections. Everything starts from scratch, and there are many uncertainties in the future. After all, 99% of entrepreneurs fail. At this time, I suggest you work for a few years, accumulate relevant experience, and be ready to start a business. In the meantime, stick to your dreams, give more rational thinking at the same time, and gradually formulate practical implementation plans. When you feel the time is ripe, you can quit your job and start a business. After all, we should pursue our dreams while we are young.
Tell you a story about starting a business around you!
In 20 years of work experience, Lao A tried to start a business once and invested 800,000 yuan to open a local restaurant. According to his description, the working relationship was not handled well at that time, and he resigned and went to sea for a while. "When he is the boss, there are always not so many intrigues." With this mentality, Lao A opened a restaurant with the efforts of the whole family.
However, the good times did not last long, because the chef's instability led to the decline in the quality of dishes, coupled with poor management, the hotel was in a state of half-death. To make money, you can earn more than 1 10,000 a month, but it takes too much manpower and energy. When Old A thought about it, he and his daughter-in-law spent a lot of time in the store and worked hard day and night, earning more than 10000 yuan. It's better to close the shop, earn so much with his daughter-in-law and eat less snacks. . .
In this way, the only adventure of old A is over. I asked old A, "Do you regret not insisting?" Old a's answer is considered to be "it is false to say no regrets." If I had persisted at that time, I might not be in this state now. "
?
Here, I have to sigh that "there are too many entrepreneurs these days". Like Lao A, there are many people who start a business simply for the sake of starting a business and stop working when they encounter difficulties. Those who can persist will have a place in the market and seek a bigger seat. Give up halfway, return to the workplace and start all over again.
?
It's not that giving up starting a business is a mistake, but if you really want to start a business, please think about two questions first:
1, why do you want to start a business Is there a potential business opportunity or do you not want to work at all?
2. How many bullet resources do you have? This resource refers to material, human and mental work.
As a fresh graduate, if you want to start a business, do you really have good entrepreneurial ideas or just have the impulse to start a business?
Do you have the ability or resources to do what you want to start a business?
Starting a business is simple. If you register a company, you will become a CEO yourself, but it is too difficult to run a company.
