2023/12/24 Calm from the pocket with friends

The calmness of a company and the calmness of a person always come from your pocket and friends, just two things.

Fellow book friends, have you ever seen the challenge of the American millionaire?

There's a reality show in the U.S., which is the Millionaire Challenge, not a millionaire's life challenge, but a challenge to start from scratch and make a million.

There are three mentors for this challenge, who are these three mentors? The first mentor is a Wall Street bigwig, the second mentor is a Silicon Valley bigwig, and the third mentor is a real estate bigwig.

These three bigwigs taught them how to make money, how to invest, and how to start a business.

The opening remarks of the three bigwigs are the same, they say, "Guys, do you know calm? Ease comes from your pocket with friends. "It's such a simple sentence.

You have 1 million in your pocket, and you can take it easy; You have 10 billion in your pocket, and you can take it easy; You don't have anything in your pocket, can you take it easy? Impossible.

Your friends are billionaires, and you can take it easy; Your friends are poor, can you take it easy? Also unlikely. The calmness of a company and the calmness of a person always come from your pocket and friends, just two things.

They took the American billionaire and took him to a city where no one knew him, and he started to create a million-dollar company in a very short period of time, and you will find that these bosses do different projects, they do different tasks, but they all have the same approach.

The first thing is to support yourself, find a job, have food, and sleep.

The second thing is to use your own ability to help, I have the ability to help you with this, I have the ability to help you with that, I don't want your money. What is the purpose of helping?

That's the third thing, teaming up. When he finished forming a team, he started to do it with the people he usually knew or who helped him? Finance, put some money, do this. And then, what?

The fourth thing is to continue to expand the team and get things done.

So, you'll find that these billionaires, when they want to become millionaires in a strange city, use these four steps, and they all have financing.

Let me tell you about my own financing experience, the company I quickly got the financing is called Zero One Capital, and the president is called Yan Ning.

I remember that the angel round was 3 million and the seed round was 500,000, how did I get my seed round? Because, at that time, we were just in the cosmetics industry and didn't know anything, so I had to find a lot of media relations, because the company needed media relations to publicize, so I was looking for people with this kind of media resources. Every day I went out to talk, and suddenly one day I met a person who told me for a few hours, and I was blindsided.

I asked him for resources, I asked him to help, and three hours after he said that, I was shocked. What was his final remark, "Can you take me along with this project?" But I won't invest too much, just 500,000, is it enough? "At that time, there was no company address, so we went out to various shopping malls to hand out flyers and shout. At that time, I was very excited to hear that there were investors who were willing to invest.

Dear book friends, you should remember that you are the most responsible boss for your company's shareholders and customers.

Are there any powerful people in this world? Yes, isn't Jobs amazing? But he still needs financing, isn't Microsoft very powerful? Microsoft also has a bunch of shareholders, is Musk powerful? Musk is also a bunch of shareholders.

Therefore, financing should be regarded as a habit, if you happen to be doing business, as long as you start a business, you must remember to solve the problem of financing first, then solve the problem of business, and finally solve the problem of development.

What is a business problem? It's not what you're going to do, it's what you're going to do. When you solve the problem of what the business will do, you will solve the development and growth.

At this time, ten yuan in your hand, you will begin to be able to earn five cents, and the next stage you have to solve is not the problem of earning one dollar for ten yuan, but whether you can still earn five cents for a hundred yuan? Can the income continue to be replicated? I see that book friends in this era seem to think that working for others is better than starting their own business and becoming a boss, and they also have their own entrepreneurial needs, and they all have their own doubts in the process of growing up.

In the process of expanding your business, the first thing you have to practice is the ability to raise money, then the ability to form a team, and then the ability to manage people. The ability to open people.

Therefore, the easiest thing in the world may be to start a business; And the hardest thing is to start a business.

The calmness of a company and the calmness of a person always come from the pocket and friends. This is not just an economic issue, but also a philosophy of life.

In the business world, money is the blood that keeps a company alive; Friends are souls, providing wisdom and strength. Calmness is an attitude and a realm. With sufficient financial support, we can calmly face the changes in the market, and having those friends with strength and wisdom can make us more calm in the face of difficulties.

When we started our business, financing became a priority. We need funds to start the project, hire staff, buy equipment, etc. And in the process, we will also encounter various challenges and difficulties. At this time, we need to use the wisdom and strength of our friends to find a solution to the problem. The value of a friend lies not only in the material help they can provide, but also in the moral support they can provide. On the road to entrepreneurship, we will encounter all kinds of setbacks and difficulties, and those true friends will accompany us through the difficulties, give us encouragement and support.

In the financing experience of Zero One Capital, we have seen the power of financing. Through financing, we can obtain more resources, expand the scale of our business, and improve our market competitiveness. And in this process, we need to continue to learn and grow, improve our professional ability and business acumen. On the road to entrepreneurship, we need the support of funds and the support of friends. Only with sufficient funds and friends can we calmly face challenges and difficulties and realize our dreams.
