Much of what you do now or in the future is the result of an obsession

Original dream

The dream of starting a business should be rooted in everyone’s heart for a long time. From scratch to create a business of their own, do not have to work hard for others, to achieve their own life value. I had the dream of starting a business when I was very young. At that time, I was living in the countryside, lying on my balcony in the cool in summer, watching the stars, my thoughts were brought into the vision of the future, imagining that I would have a big company and an office building of my own in a long time.

Blink of an eye once that teenager is no longer young, and then the dream is still boiling.

Choosing to give up the Internet industry at the age of 30 and start a new business in a traditional industry that they are not familiar with should be a difficult decision for many people. The same is true for me. I have been full of ambitions for a long time and finally chose to resign on May 20 this year. Choose the most difficult road, but also believe that the harvest is the greatest. I have accumulated 7 or 8 years in the Internet industry. I entered the Internet industry in order to start my own business one day. Their own learning technology, into attack, retreat can defend, the dream in the heart is still boiling, then brave for their own dream fight once. I did not feel relaxed at the moment of leaving, but continued to the present regular insomnia. However, I had a deep feeling at that time: the 80-20 rule, most people may really be doomed to belong to the 80%, want to break through the class to change the fate is really very difficult. Because my choice and decision may be the dream of many people forever hidden in their hearts, I feel lucky that I have the courage to give myself a chance to try, life is difficult, feel more and experience more, bravely climb a mountain, chase a dream, love a person.

The best time should be reserved for dreams

Between the ages of 25 and 35 are everyone’s most precious years. Save your most productive years for your dreams, not your monthly paycheck. Turning poor for three years, really like a curse, monthly mortgage plus several months without income, savings before, only to maintain, is often can’t sleep, along the way is not smooth, made many mistakes, through many detours, but it is also the fastest grow on your own time, many things pile up, need adjustment state of mind, adjust the physical strength.

Eat is knowledge and pattern of deficit

A lot of people have a misunderstanding about diligence, you want to make money must be through your knowledge and pattern to make money. If diligence is useful, the cleaners who get up three or four must be millionaires, but they are still at the bottom of the social ladder. I didn’t like to recognize social stratification as a tacit fact. But with the maturity of thought, this is just a consensus that no one will say.

Mistakes I made along the way

• Pursue innovation and perfection
• The first priority of starting a business is to make a profit and survive, and I didn’t really follow through
• Too small, lack of teams
• Inadequate preparation
• The biggest cost is time

Break down your mistakes one by one. When you take the lead to do one thing, many of your small bad habits may be magnified to infinity. When I take the lead to do one thing, I found that the true meaning of the saying that character determines destiny.

Chasing innovation and perfection is really fatal for an entrepreneur with little strength. At the beginning, I thought my product must be innovative and perfect as soon as it was launched, resulting in delayed launch time. In the final analysis, this is their own personality, in the industry is not familiar with innovation is really a low-level mistake, at this time the best way is Tencent style dry method, first copy and then innovation. I also made the mistake of chasing after the perfect interface of the product. I made UI partners change it many times, but later I found that the process was not clearly planned. Until the official launch staggered in early December. The technical selection is also a long struggle: Golang + Gorm + React. Js + applets. Look back when the original tangle or quite silly.

The first task of starting a business is to make money and live first. This is an idea I have always had in my mind, but it has not been implemented in practice. Entrepreneurship must first think of ways to live, have the most basic income to meet your daily expenses, not burdened with financial pressure. I was preoccupied with improving the product and didn’t think much about profit. I didn’t realize the sense of crisis until I couldn’t make ends meet.

Pattern is too small, lack of team everyone firewood flame is high, three heads are better than zhuge liang. These are often spoken in the mouth of the catchphrase but I stepped on the pit. I am the only one doing this full-time, while the other friends are doing it part-time. Looking back, I work until one or two o ‘clock in the morning every day. How much can I do part-time? Thank you very much for your help. Without your help, the launch time may have been delayed longer.

When I started to do this job, I thought I was prepared for everything and knew enough about the industry. Later, I found that my knowledge was only superficial and I had to spend two months to get familiar with the industry, doing customer service, receiving orders and sending orders personally. Wasted a lot of time developing software

The biggest cost is the cost of time so far, spent nearly 7 months of time, watching the passage of time, for a 30-year-old person, there is really too much unspeakable pain, give yourself a little more time, to fight for, to land. Do one thing, be sure to quickly trial and error, time is the biggest cost.

Problems to be solved

• Operation promotion realization
• Professional product managers improve the system

Coordinate Wuhan welcomes suggestions!

The status quo

If the actual cost is not taken into account, the income and expenditure are basically the same so far. If you factor in the cost of the time of the team mates, it’s a loss. At present, I am still working on this project full-time by myself, and I have no capital input, so I can only push it forward slowly in this way. After trying to find funds and teams, the basic framework of online products is relatively stable. After all, many versions have been iterated day and night, but many details and product prototypes need to be improved. From the product prototype, to part of the UI design, to the front and back end of the code, most of them are carried down by themselves, very limited, want to have more people to participate in, but there are fewer people to help, more people to icing on the cake. In the pain and anxiety slowly see a little light…

I used to be keen on writing technical articles, but later I found that technology is just a tool when no project is realized. You can also try to change your thinking. Technology is just the most basic, or the technical points in writing technical articles are what you must know. The realization of technology should be considered by every technician.

Write in a hurry, in such a node to reflect on their own, I hope less detour behind, good afternoon to go out to run to push, to be continued…
