Li Jinbo, Former Vice President Of Thunder: My Sense Of Entrepreneurship

　　 Thunder Li Jinbo, the former vice president, has officially started his own business. At the beginning of his business, Li Jinbo worked all these years. Entrepreneurship I wrote a blog to share with the young people who are looking for opportunities. The following is the full text of the blog:

I experienced many difficulties in the 6 years of thunder. The most painful thing is to find talents. The most regrettable thing is to look at the good people and pass them by. Today, http://myhada.com again, recruitment, found that everyone's concerns have not changed much. Sorting out my thoughts on these problems, I think, may be helpful for you.

Often feel very lucky, like I am not smart, introverted engineers, encountered the Internet. Before that, I never dreamed of being able to participate in the creation of a one billion dollar knife company.

Since the Internet has changed me, it is also your chance. Look at the billions of Tencent, Baidu and Alibaba, and it is easy to see that the Internet has changed China. For the first time in history, success depends on itself, not money, resources and relationships.

Only by starting a business can you truly understand the power of the Internet. Only when you start a business can you truly realize your potential, and you have always had the strength you never showed. It is the power of dreams and concentration.

The biggest difficulty of starting a business is that there is infinite possibility in the future. The biggest challenge of starting a business is mentally. The biggest enemy is yourself. In this sense, entrepreneurship is a spiritual rite of passage.

Do you want to start a business? The answer is actually very simple.

What is really difficult is:

Are you ready to start your own business?

If you are attracted by wealth legend, all you want is to get rich overnight. All roads make money, and the Internet is the most difficult. Low barriers, fierce competition, long investment cycle, great chance of death.

If you are attracted by passionate life, advise you to be careful. Starting a business is not a treat, it's fun and passion, and more sweat. In the six year of thunder, I only took two times off. I got married once and grandpa died once. Passion comes easy and goes fast. You can "Follow my heart" and must not "Follow my feeling".

If you enjoy the feeling of being a boss, go to a big company. The boss of a startup has the lowest status, the pressure you need to carry, the staff to serve, the opportunity to be presented to people, and it will be rejected. You can't be afraid, be patient, be in charge of the front and enjoy the post. This is the boss, the whole big mariner:

True entrepreneurship is like this: you don't have a stable life, your vacation will be interrupted any time, and you will face new challenges every day. Starting a business is not another job. Entrepreneurship is the 100% investment.

There is only one reason to start a business. You want to change your future. You decide that you want to lead a completely different life. You don't want to work all your life. You want to have your own business, you want to get rid of house slaves, you want financial freedom. You want to rush in when you are young. You don't want to regret it when you are old. {page_break}

In 2004, I developed in Oracle, and later turned to consultation. This is the life I once envied. I went out to rent a taxi and got off to fly. I woke up one morning feeling very tired. What is the end of this boring life? 10 years later, it is just another foreign manager. This is not what I want. But I don't know what I want. I feel confused and helpless.

So I went to thunder. From Beijing to Shenzhen, wages were the same old days, and life began again. In entrepreneurship, I found the answer.

Doubt is the beginning of change. Your heart may have sent out a signal. Did you receive it?

Entrepreneurship is a new thing.

It is a tradition of thousands of years to destroy the king, to win, to lose, to learn and to be good. The huge cost of living in cities often hits our confidence.

Therefore, avoiding risks has become the focus of our life. We work hard to earn money, buy cars, buy houses, get married, have children, provide for the aged, and then watch our children repeat. No more fun, no more hope.

So where is the risk? Is it making less money? Is it old?

Neither. The biggest risk is that you are getting older every day, but you don't know. You live in the world, one day less, one second less. Even more frightening than the old age of your body is that when you are still young, your heart is dead. You become a young old man. You can no longer enjoy the joy of freedom. Your talent is gone. You watched the opportunity flow but couldn't catch it. You gradually get used to complaining, regretting, and jealousy.

Entrepreneurship is your regeneration. Entrepreneurship is to turn risk into opportunity.

Who told you that making screws is all you have?

Who told you that you could not afford to risk?

Who told you that there are no miracles in the world?

The heart of entrepreneurship is confidence, the determination to come from confidence, the courage to come from determination, and the act of breaking the boat by courage.

When we are young, we must liberate it early. This is the first step and a decisive step.

So, how do we start a business? Is it a self employment business, with friends or a start-up company?

Searching for people or finding things? Great changes have taken place in the Internet today.

10 years ago, personal software and personal webmaster are vanishing, and it will be hard to come back later. The reason is simple: the Internet is popular. Big companies are fierce and small companies are strong enough to survive in the Internet jungle. There is no chance for you to keep silent. Only enough good leaders and good teams are the foundation of success.

If you are not afraid of failure, be ready to do it again, and you can do it alone. If you are content with being in a corner, you can do minor projects with your friends.

But if you want to be financially free and want to make a breakthrough in your career, you'd better take part in startups.

How to choose a start-up company?

The typical expectation is this: Yao Qiang, the entrepreneur, should have a future and pay well. Every time I hear this, I feel very sad: the world has dropped millions of knives, and it has just fallen on your hands. Is that so?

Entrepreneurship is about opportunity. Opportunity is the most difficult to judge. Even if Google, Tencent and Baidu start, who can see its future? When it comes to predicting the future, we must admit that we have limited intelligence. You reckon, but you just confuse yourself. The law is: you must be inaccurate; when you are right, you have no chance at all. {page_break}

Learn to watch more and see less. The trend is the direction, is the big market; the matter is the breakthrough point, is the concrete demand. There is no need to go deep into it.

For example, one of the trends I saw is that with the rapid growth of netizens, applications will be broken down; work and work relations will be Internet based, so long as you can surf the Internet, you will be able to work. This is the work Internet that I understand. There are no strong players like LinkedIn, Google Docs and 37Signals in China. Therefore, there are entrepreneurial opportunities. As for what is concrete, we need to do it before we know it.

You have to say that entertainment is the mainstream. Chinese users are low-end. What is the way to do this? Is it not clear that you have to do online games? You can't rely on others to succeed. You don't have to be a Tencent Baidu anymore. When it comes to working Internet, you dislike 51Job, but in fact, 51Job is not worth 500 million dollars? If you can do it, don't you do it?

As for wages, it is a false question. Entrepreneurship is like investment. How much risk can be gained if we bear it. If you always want to cash in the short term, you can't depend on millions of people.

Of course, China has a high cost of living and 99.9% people can't afford to run naked. In view of this, I generally provide 3 sets of options, which can withstand high option options, and choose a high salary under pressure. The highest salary is not lower than that of a large company. Being an employee of a start-up company is also a form of entrepreneurship.

However, the higher the job, the greater the responsibility and the lower the salary. Being my partner, I really need to prepare for running naked.

Entrepreneurship is like finding LP. You can't say to your fairy sister: you're not married. The first thing that a real entrepreneur wants to learn is "one": you can't love two people at the same time. You can't do two things at the same time. You can't have two standards at the same time.

The sole criterion for participating in startups is the leader. Rely on others for success in work. People can get better when they are bad. Small companies can get bigger and lower wages can be higher; vice versa.

What kind of head? Look at character, determination and ability, the three are indispensable.

Character: is he honest or honest? Is his team like this? Did he flinch you when he met? Did he admit that you might fail?

Determination: is there any luster in his eyes? What does he give up for his business? Is his team involved? The most unreliable thing in the world is to tell you that a part-time job can also be successful.

Ability: has he ever had a successful experience? Does he understand the Internet? Is he dependent on himself or resources and money? 1 billion users over the past 2 years, billions of dollars in revenue, and 3 years to build a platform. OK, what level of dream are you in?

In entrepreneurship, people are the only ones you can rely on.

If you are young, you need a good master. He will help you recognize yourself and take fewer detours. He himself is your greatest example.

Did you find him? If so, Congratulations, bold action!

Finally, let's talk about it.

Invisible value of entrepreneurship

We like computing. In fact, figures are most deceptive. Because what you can calculate is the explicit value, and the real value is incalculable. The implicit value of entrepreneurship far exceeds that of the former. {page_break}

Being an entrepreneur is like an eagle's rebirth. After suffering, you will grow new hair. Your people will be totally different.

Entrepreneurs have bright eyes. They do not believe it is impossible. In their eyes, problems are opportunities. They are not afraid of failure. What about failure? Success requires only one opportunity. When you are ready, chances are always there.

Entrepreneurs are winners. Entrepreneurs have the air of victory. You can not agree with what he said, you can accuse him of doing it, but you can not despise him. When he charges, watch out.

Entrepreneurs are leaders. They dare to take responsibility. They face up to the most difficult realities and are more courageous enough to challenge reality. They do not evade, do not delay, do not shirk. In their minds, responsibility is more important than power.

Entrepreneurs break through their bottlenecks. They are never satisfied with past successes. They learn to fight in battle. They are deeply aware that the greatest enemy is themselves, they learn to empower, learn to concentrate and learn restraint.

Entrepreneurs should resist temptation. It is common for entrepreneurs to be dug by big companies. The company you dug into the hollow mind and dug you out of the price you can't imagine? It feels like a movie.

A year of entrepreneurship is better than three years of work.

If you want to understand it, you know, entrepreneurship is actually very simple.

So, do you understand? Are you ready?
