Entrepreneurship is something I have been thinking about since college. Naihe, it is easy to start a business. No funds, no projects, no resources, no experience, nothing. . .
Actually, I don't have any great goals to be the Li Ka-shing of China. After all, success is not measured by the amount of money. I just want to make my family better, make myself rich and free, and do what I want. So, I ended my nine-year career on 20 16.
Don't underestimate this resignation. I came from the position of hotel marketing director. The annual salary is also tens of thousands 10. However, I can't stand loneliness, I want to realize my ideal, I want to make a breakthrough and try something, which makes me take this step bravely.
Sharing my story is not to show off, but simply to record my experience during this time. When I am old, I can come up and see myself at that time.
As a former professional manager, I want to say that if you have a restless heart and don't want to work for others step by step, and you are stuck in the office all your life, then you must learn from me and take the courage to try, even if you fail. Back to the workplace. But as long as you try, you have a chance to succeed. Wealth is at hand, and it depends on whether we can take this crucial first step.
When I decided to resign, everyone around me was shocked, leaving an excellent executive to quit. Why bother? That's what I told them. I'm really a director now. In the next 5- 10 years, I may go one step further and become a vice president. Maybe then I will have the strength to be a general manager. However, will I definitely have the opportunity to be the general manager? As we all know, the top leaders in Chinese enterprises have great power. If you want to be a general manager, you don't have the trust of your boss, or someone above supports you. It's hard for you to be the first. So, why should the boss trust you? Have you ever thought about how much confidence you need to hand over a tens of millions of running companies to you? I asked myself, it's hard to meet such a boss. The chances are too small.
Besides. Years of work experience will not disappear with my resignation. These are my precious wealth and will help me move forward.
I have been thinking about starting a business for many years. If I don't try now, I think I will leave endless regrets when I get old.
All right, enough gossip.
Before I started my business, my financial situation was that I bought a house and a car last year, with a monthly mortgage of nearly 3,000 yuan and a car loan of nearly 2,000 yuan, and then I got married during the Spring Festival. Therefore, the money earned by working these years has basically been spent.
How dare I start a business? You must think I'm crazy, right?
That's because I stumbled across a sunrise industry that didn't need to rent a store or recruit a large number of employees, and only needed to spend a little money to start.
What is it?
That is indoor air testing governance (formaldehyde detection governance). I was also very uneasy in the early stage, and I don't know if the market demand is big. And online search found that there are already companies doing this. But while studying, I also found some very important information. First, families with new houses now attach great importance to formaldehyde exceeding the standard. There is also a lot of news on the internet. What children get leukemia after decoration, and their families get respiratory diseases and cancer? There are too many examples. Second, some companies that are now doing are mostly small workshops, without big brands, and their popularity is not high. Marketing is also unprofessional. Third, national policies have guidance. What kind of air pollution, soil pollution and water pollution have attracted great attention of the country.
I realized that my opportunity had come. The cost is low, the demand is large, and it will definitely break out in the future. I am now involved in accumulating customers, and I will definitely be able to drink and eat meat in the future. Ha ha. I can't help laughing.
As far as I know, at present, the general charge for formaldehyde testing in the market is 200-300 per room. About 30-40 per square meter for governance. /kloc-a house of 0/00 square meters can charge about 3000 yuan. And the cost is 20%. This is simply profiteering.
Moreover, the customers who do the examination and treatment are not only family houses, but also newly installed offices, kindergartens, hotels, hospitals, restaurants, new cars and other newly installed places are my target customers. This market can easily be described as super large.
After nearly 1 month's investigation, it only takes 1 week to learn technology and register a company.
Seeing this, do you think 250 thousand will come? No.
I think so, Tucson.
If starting a business is so easy to succeed, all China people will start a business.
We don't have to rent a facade, spend a lot of money on advertising (and can't afford it, haha), and don't have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to join. But ...
Business didn't fall from the sky. You have to promote, you have to form a reputation, and you have to be a customer to be satisfied.
I experienced a very painful process in the early stage. It may be a few days without examination and half a month without treatment. Sitting there anxious.
What shall we do? I'll calm down. I can't waste so many years of marketing experience. I opened a platform, WeChat official account, caught hot spots and opened a treasure shop. The decoration is professional and beautiful, far exceeding the peers. Start talking about mutually beneficial cooperation with property companies. Talk to the media about health testing activities, talk to big V about mass activities, post in a city and ask customers to introduce them. Slowly, my business has also increased. One word spreads to ten words, and there are more and more online consultations and telephone consultations. I finally got the company on track.
At present, I have two employees, so I don't have to go out every day, so I have more time to think about how to enhance the company's brand image, how to make every order, how to expand business, how to better promote it, how to share my experience and help more people who want to start a business.
Finally, I want to send you a word. Find a suitable time to do it if you want. Don't be the one who waits forever. When all the conditions are perfect, you won't even have time to drink the water for washing the pot. Ha ha.
