Work instead of being a boss

Chapter 4 Creating Your Own Business (4)
The wise man left and came back [-] years later, and the camel team behind him carried [-] tomes; the king concentrated on governing the country and couldn't read so many books, so he ordered them to condense their knowledge.

After [-] years, they came back, and the camel team behind them only carried [-] books back.But the king still thinks too much.

Years passed, and this time they brought no more than [-] books.But the king was old and tired, and he asked the wise man to condense it into a book.

Five years later, when they dedicated their hard work to the king, the king was dying and had no time to read this book.

This story shows people that to grasp the "right time" is to grasp the opportunity and to grasp a valuable life.

In fact, this kind of survival wisdom marked by "just the right time" is generally applicable to the law of the progress of a nation or a country.All ethnic groups in the world are like a mixed forest. In order to gain a foothold in this forest, it is not enough to only see that they have a piece of sunshine and occupy a place.Otherwise, the adjacent tree canopies may take away the sunshine above your head without you knowing; the root systems of adjacent tree groups may quietly gather and surround you, so that you will eventually fall into a suffocating situation.This is by no means sensational.The key is that you must have a comprehensive grasp of the career you are engaged in, and you must also know how to grasp the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the development of affairs and how to use it. If you have all these three points, then success is already in your hands. I wave to you.

Cherish your golden age
The most precious few years of happy time in a person's life may be in the unrestrained childhood, the young people who are young or the first parents, the prime of life at the peak of their careers, or the old age of leisure and retirement.Golden ages often come unnoticed, but many psychologists believe that certain periods of life are more conducive to success and happiness than others.And if entrepreneurs can grasp these periods well, their chances of success will be several times or dozens of times higher than before.

When Are You Smartest? Your teens and twenties are likely to be brighter and easier to assimilate and accumulate knowledge.But the ability to apply this knowledge with thought and understanding seems to increase with age.

When is the most creative period? According to the estimation of the psychologist Lehman in the book "Age and Achievement", it is between the ages of thirty and thirty-nine.But everyone's situation is different, most of them depend on what kind of work they are engaged in, and at what age the creative work starts.Most creative people remain highly accomplished throughout their lives.For example, Edison's most inventing year was 39, yet he remained active and creative well into his 35s.

When is the golden age Psychologist Voyette believes that it is between 30 and 45 years old. He said: "When people reach this age, they have a real understanding of the limits of their abilities and are full of potential at the same time." An accurate statement comes from Dr. Ellis of the Institute of Rational Living in New York.He said: "The best years of life are when you can recognize that your problems are your own business, and not blame your mother, the environment, ecology or the government, and when you understand that your destiny is in your control."

Six steps to starting a business

Operators who are interested in engaging in private enterprises enter the stage of opening and implementing after going through the three stages of industry selection, project determination, and scientific evaluation of the project.At this stage, the following tasks are extremely important:
[-].To raise funds
To start a private enterprise, you must have "capital".There are generally four ways to raise funds:

Self-financing relies on one's own strength to excavate the movable or immovable property owned by one's own.

In stock-raising, relatives and friends who are interested in operating the same project agree on the proportion of dividends for the shares, and then pool the share funds for business activities.

A joint operation is a combination of several operators who plan to establish a private enterprise to operate together.

Insufficient self-raised funds for loans and insufficient funds for stock raising, you can apply for a loan from the bank.

[-].Choose a venue
Whether the location of business activities is suitable has a great impact on future business activities.The venue is the window to contact customers, "the right time is not as good as the right place", "a small business depends on the location".Depending on the industry, the nature and scale of the project, the specific requirements for selecting a site are also different.First, consider the processed products and transportation conditions.To set up a factory for processing agricultural and sideline products, you should choose a town near the source of raw materials and convenient transportation.Second, consider the nature of business.If you set up a tourist hotel, you should choose a scenic spot or a place where tourists must pass.Third, consider the business object.To operate private enterprises such as clothing and food, you should choose a downtown area with convenient transportation.Fourth, consider from the perspective of urban construction.Some towns and streets are not the central urban area at present, but may become downtown in the future, so you should have a strategic vision when choosing a site.Fifth, consider their own economic conditions.If the rent of the selected venue is too high, it will inevitably increase the cost.At the same time, according to the site conditions, the equipment needed for its own operation should be purchased.

[-].Apply for a business license
The business license is an important certificate for a private enterprise to apply for opening and obtain the qualification of a legal person.Private enterprises engaged in the catering industry and food industry must obtain a health permit from the food supervision agency and a health inspection certificate for employees when applying for opening; hotels and lettering must be reviewed by the local public security organ; Certificate of passing the technical examination of the department.

[-].engraved seal
If a private enterprise wants to engrave a seal, it must hold a business license and a written report, apply to the local public security department, and indicate the seal style according to the regulations. Engraved.

[-].open an account

When opening an account, a private enterprise must first issue an application for opening an account, go through the registration procedures for opening an account, and go through the bank's verification of various certificates and seals, and then proceed after approval.It is also possible to open a temporary account at a relevant bank (or savings bank) in the city with a business license.

[-].Apply for tax certificate

Private enterprise quasi-operators apply for tax registration at the local tax authority with a business license and seal. After approval, they will be issued a "tax payment manual", pay taxes according to regulations, and are protected by national laws.

Five Kinds of Employees Urgently Needed When Starting a Business

As a boss in the entrepreneurial period, identifying and using outstanding talents is the guarantee of success. The following five types of employees can complement each other to a certain extent, which will provide a guarantee for improving work efficiency:
Talented with both resourcefulness and courage, this is a hero with the world in mind.Not only are they full of ingenuity and wisdom, but what is more valuable is that they have the courage and strategy to dare to act, and they can respond to various sudden changes with agility and flexibility without panicking.

Tenacious Competitive Talents This kind of person has a challenging spirit, is not afraid of setbacks and failures, clearly defines his goals and wishes, and strives tenaciously to achieve the goals.They also have a strong sense of subjectivity and a sense of ownership, and are uncomfortable doing work under orders that do not require risks and responsibilities. They also have the ability to think independently, are not afraid to fight alone, can be independent, and have an overall vision.

Talents who dare to come up with original ideas. Novel insights are manifested in innovation and exploration, which is a valuable creative quality; modern companies regard people who dare to put forward and are good at putting forward new ideas as more important than those who only have the quality of diligence.

Talents who are flexible and innovative don't follow the old rules, and those who don't stick to the rules are the most attractive.Facing the super-speeding information society, those who act according to the established model will only adapt to mediocre leaders. They should strive to broaden their horizons to adapt to the continuous changes in the industrial structure of modern society.

Only those who have been defeated and fought repeatedly, some people cannot withstand criticism and setbacks of failure. This is a manifestation of people's low psychological endurance and fragility.In modern society, success and risk coexist. Smart leaders dare not reuse or hope for smooth sailing.Only those who are indomitable and have a good tolerance for difficulties and failures may be entrusted with important tasks.

Using teams to manage new ventures
When we start a business, we first think about the systems and systems that need to be improved. Usually, in the innovation process, the system is always the first step, while the management of personnel is the second. This situation reflects our innovation process. The most common misconception among people is that ideas and systems come first, while managers are irrelevant.

We often see that some start-ups have successfully established their financial structure and financial system, but after a few years, there is still a tendency to slip into a serious crisis.When it was about to become an "adult", that is, when it became a successful, established company with well-developed production and sales, it fell into a dilemma that others could not understand.The products are top-notch and the prospects are bright, but the business simply cannot develop.

The reason for this is always the same: lack of top management.Because the development of the enterprise has surpassed the level that one or two people can manage.What is needed now is a management team at the highest level.If the business doesn't have such a group by this time, it's too late—in fact, it's often too late.

The remedy is simple: build a top-level management team before the business reaches the point where it must.A team cannot be formed overnight, about three years is the minimum.

However, a small and growing start-up cannot afford a top management team with several well-known and well-paid individuals.In fact, in these small and growing businesses, only a few people are needed to manage all the affairs.

Whenever objective economic indicators of a start-up—such as market research or demographic analysis—show that the business is likely to double in three to five years, the management team needed to establish the start-up as quickly as possible is Founder's responsibility, which can be said to be a preventive medicine.

It may be wise to start with an informal group of top management who, in a new and growing venture, do not need to be titled, formally announced, or even paid extra money.All of this can wait until a year later, or even until it becomes clear how and what the new agency will do—two or three years later, when the growing business needs a top management team, it has Have such a panel too.In fact, our company has formed a leadership, which is the fundamental guarantee for the development of new ventures.

Twelve types of subordinates that cannot be reused
There are many subordinates around you, some of them can stand on their own, while some are just waiting for food, they are immature subordinates, looking forward to your criticism and help, don’t abandon them, lead them forward, victory is coming to you wave.
