Generally speaking, the success rate of starting a business is very low, and for college students, the possibility of starting a business is only lower. If college students fail to start a business, the biggest loss is to miss the best study time for several years, and it is difficult for college students to bear the impact of entrepreneurial failure.
I myself am a typical example. I hope everyone can learn a lesson. Many people have seen the successful examples of college students' entrepreneurship and regarded them as role models. In fact, you only saw the bright side of success, but you didn't see the millions of losers who fell to the ground in Qian Qian.
When I was a freshman, I wanted to start a business to earn money. I don't want to stay in many part-time groups honestly. I have to say that the media is a good business opportunity. At this time, an industrial chain has been formed, and I really want to be a successful carp and leap over the dragon gate.
But I failed. I neglected this semester. I didn't succeed in starting a business. Instead, my grades plummeted. I failed the final exam and learned nothing. Didn't earn money, wasted time. I don't think it's worth it.
In my opinion, my failure stems from my lack of ability. If you want to be a successful self-media, you must first have good writing and good creativity. I just thought I had the ability, but I didn't.
It is too difficult to start a business. It can be exhausting. Only when a person has learned something can he have the power to succeed.
Now, I have given up starting a business, but I have not given up making money. My goal is to achieve economic independence, and then start a second venture after I have a certain economic foundation and knowledge and experience reserve.
One: Although the word entrepreneurship is very fashionable now, as a university teacher, I don't support college students' entrepreneurship!
First of all, college students care too much about the superficial impression that entrepreneurship gives them: Being a CEO, taking over 100 million venture capital and becoming an entrepreneurial hero in Hu Weiwei!
However, in fact, what college students generally lack is: entrepreneurial ideas, venture capital and entrepreneurial team! Therefore, according to statistics, the success rate of entrepreneurship is less than 3%!
Mainly because college students don't understand the market at all, most of them are hot projects in the follow-up society. For example, during 20 17, many college students liked cycling, but in fact, the only cycling events that are still alive are mobike and ofo.
The lack of funds makes most college students' entrepreneurial projects easily defeated by other enterprises even if they have good ideas! The lack of entrepreneurial team is also a college student's entrepreneurship, and the ability to resist risks has dropped significantly!
Secondly, college students should understand entrepreneurship in a broader sense and at a broader level! Starting a business is not necessarily starting your own company, starting your own business!
Even people employed by the government, such as doctors and teachers, can constantly improve their status and income by constantly improving their skills and abilities. In fact, it is also a kind of entrepreneurial success!
In other words, college students don't have to start a courier company as soon as they graduate from college! You can learn about the market, the industry and yourself by working in a courier company! Accumulating entrepreneurial experience is equivalent to sharpening the knife. How can it be said that it is not part of the firewood chopping entrepreneurial project?
In a word, college students should start their own business on the basis of fully understanding themselves, the market and the industry, and can not be narrowly equated with starting a company!
Two: First of all, I am an experienced entrepreneur myself. I've seen many college students start businesses, and many college students come to me and ask me about starting businesses. Maybe it's because I just graduated. Do you want to start a business or something?
Actually, I'm not against some college students starting businesses. I'm against all college students starting businesses.
First of all, I just ask you college students: What qualifications do you have to start a business?
Do you think your college students have rich family or good family background? If your family has money, or you won't choose to start a business, if your family background is good, maybe you have been waiting to be an executive in a Fortune 500 company!
The rest of the college students basically have no money and no background at home, and then they can't find a company, and finally they want to choose to start a business. You said nothing, what do you take to start a business? I can't even find an ordinary job. Why did you start a business?
Look at other entrepreneurs, who didn't start their own businesses after working for many years, and then they have the ability and some savings?
In fact, college graduates are the most potential people. If you go to study in a company at this time and then settle down for a few years, as long as you are lucky, the future is limitless.
But if you choose to start a business at this time, you will only be dragged down by your career, because your career is doomed to failure.
I started my own business for several years, and then I became a little lazy when I started my own business. I don't go to work on time every day. I either get up in the morning 12, work overtime until 2.3 pm, and get up in the sun the next day. Once this schedule is long, it will change a lot.
You said that after you got used to this schedule, you failed to start your own business and planned to go to work in the company. Not only will it be difficult for you to change your schedule, but your work attitude will also be different.
Before starting my own business, of course, I will redouble my efforts, but when I work for others at once, my mentality will suddenly change, let alone work overtime, and I don't want to stay in the company for a minute.
Finally, I still want to say that if you are a college student, please learn to precipitate yourself first, and then start a business when you have certain strength. At that time, no one will oppose you.
Three: Many people do not recommend college students to start businesses, which is correct in probability.
Because college students have no deep contact with society, their social cognition is seriously insufficient, and the success rate of starting a business is very low.
The low success rate of college students' entrepreneurship is worldwide, and the success rate of foreign college students' entrepreneurship is not high either.
But for college students, they are in the most dynamic period in their lives, and entrepreneurship is a good way for them to know the society and themselves. It is also unscientific not to stop college students from starting a business just because the success rate is low.
The key lies in whether the entrepreneurial project meets the needs of society, whether it can make up for the shortcomings of society and bring benefits to society. College students are active in thinking, quick in action, more aware of the needs of young people, and have a good learning attitude. They are willing to start a business and should be encouraged and supported. Because they are more motivated in product innovation, business model innovation and technological innovation.
Moreover, they belong to the age when newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Even if the venture fails, it can accumulate valuable experience for future development and will not be devastated.
My other buddy opened a small restaurant when he was in college. Although he didn't make any money, after graduating from college, our classmates begged Grandpa to tell Grandma to find a reliable job, so he went straight home to start a company.
Now the price is not the highest among the students, but it is also in the top three, and the career is still successful. There are two factories and a trading company with an annual profit of nearly 10 million. Better than 90% of my classmates.
Courage is the first element of starting a business, and young people have the courage to encourage them.
Four: In my opinion, college students have more important things to do instead of focusing on entrepreneurship.
Many college students want to do more complicated things without learning the basic knowledge, thinking about partnership, making money, sharing, how to produce products and how to open up market channels. Even if they put all their energy into it, they can't afford it.
If they really devote themselves to entrepreneurship, they can't take care of their studies. All these require long-term preparation. The really bigger group of entrepreneurs is in their 30 -40 s, not college students.
Where did the first money come from for college students? Not to mention college students' entrepreneurial projects, more than 90% of people with work experience in society can't get venture capital.
So, where do you get money to support your own business, from your parents? From a friend? The failure rate of entrepreneurship is high. How to pay back these borrowed money?
If you don't have the risk tolerance to start a business, it will only make things worse. Many people are just arrogant.
Of course, I'm just explaining my opinion on why many people don't advise college students to start businesses. If a college student firmly says that he wants to start a business, how should he answer? I don't think I would say so arbitrarily: you'd better not start a business.
If all college students want to start a business, borrow money everywhere and start a business by borrowing money, who will bear the consequences if they fail? Many college students are not ready to bear the consequences of failure in starting a business.
Entrepreneurship is reserved for very few people. I strongly encourage these very few people, those with entrepreneurial qualities. If you want to start a business, you must act.
Five: In recent years, the proportion of college students' entrepreneurship in China has increased year by year, and more and more news about the success of college students' entrepreneurship with a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan has emerged one after another. But behind these seemingly successful news, there are more cases of entrepreneurial failure. After all, there are only a few successful people, let alone college students. How many people who have worked for many years and have rich social experience can succeed?
Therefore, many people do not recommend college students to start businesses, mainly because they hope that they can take fewer detours and concentrate more on their studies. College students are not divorced from society, generally lack social experience, have no theoretical knowledge of starting a business, and are more enthusiastic. At the same time of starting a business, it is inevitable to ignore your studies and end up empty-handed.
I always think that chicken soup can be drunk, but it should be drunk rationally. No matter how successful other people's entrepreneurial history is, it also belongs to others. I can't simply think that others can do it well, so I will do it well.
To succeed in starting a business, one's own ability is a part. There are many other factors, such as weather, location, people and harmony. Before starting a business, you should think about whether you can bear the consequences of failure and plan every step in a down-to-earth way, instead of following the trend.
I don't object to college students' starting a business, but I suggest that you should make full preparations before starting a business and seriously think about whether you are suitable for starting a business, whether your business plan is valuable and whether it can be implemented.
In fact, you can learn a lot in the process of starting a business. Nowadays, college students no longer "turn a deaf ear to things outside the window and concentrate on reading sage books", but need to "see the world with wide eyes" to keep up with the times.
The so-called sharpening the knife and cutting the wood by mistake is not reliable in theory. Only by knowing ourselves and ourselves can we be invincible.
