The More You Think About Making Money, The Less Money You Can Make
1. Only when you save money
for your users can you make money
Today I met an entrepreneur. He
said something that touched me a lot.
He said that we would never
make money from our clients. We just did one thing:
"We only save money for
our customers and take a little from them.".
What does he do?
He was in the central kitchen
to help those high-end restaurants cook the prepared dishes.
If I ask him, what are you
going to cook?Do you want to chop the fish head with pepper?Do you want steamed
knife fish?
He said we wouldn't cook that
simple dish, such as steamed knife fish.She could just steamed it in the
restaurant.
What are we doing?
We have made some dishes that
need a lot of preparation in the early stage, such as red cooked pork, sweet
and sour spareribs, and lion meatballs. I made them in the central kitchen,
which is much cheaper than the labor cost he made on the spot.
All we need to do is to save
money for our users, and then split a little from the money we save.
I think this entrepreneur is
right. He is right. This is the so-called "seeking power is not
responsible for others".
In the cold winter, only when
you save money for the users can you really make money.
2. You can create as much
value as you can for others
There were two parts of a
person's wealth basic stock:
First, you have your own
ability.
Second, your ability to connect
with others.
And the latter was the former's
magnifier.
There was a saying that if you
learned something, you should teach others, and if you earned something, you
should give it to others.
It was not that
I have some commercial appeal
and purpose.
But let nature take its course.
In the beginning, the more
profits a cooperative relationship was deliberately made, the more undisguised
and impatient it was. The more likely it was to go against its original
intention.
All cooperation was based on
understanding and trust, constantly making themselves valuable and creating
value for the people around them.
In 2005, I and my friends
founded a public service website named "donation time" to match the
needs and supply of volunteers like Taobao.
One year after the website was
established, more than 4000 people had been registered as volunteers, including
564 volunteers. They had participated in 227 volunteer activities organized by
61 organizations and donated their precious 3071 hours, which helped 21822
people.
This meant that every 3 hours,
there would be a volunteer who donated 1 hour through the "donation
time".
Every 24 minutes, 1 person would
get help.
It was the first time that the
power of the Internet had such a great effect in the public service field, and
countless media scrambled to report it.
In 2013, I wrote a series of
articles on the Internet transformation, business change and understanding of
this era.
One of the articles was read by a
very famous entrepreneur who shared it with his group.
One day, a person left a message
to me on micro-blog and said that he was deeply inspired after reading my
article. He hoped that I could contact them and the signature was the strategic
Department of Big group.
At first, when I saw the private
message, my first reaction was, did I meet a liar?
But later, she contacted them
out of curiosity.
After she contacted him, she
found that he was not a liar.
We talked for a while and both
felt good. I signed the contract successfully and became the strategic
counselor of Big group.
Huge things always had a small
beginning.
Each of these rings could trace
back to the very beginning of a small goodwill. They were linked one by one,
forming a chain of causality.
Except for luck, they didn't have
any commercial purpose in advance.
I didn't mean that I would give
my business card to the Famous Group and Big in advance.
He said, "I've admired you
for a long time. I want to be your strategic counselor. Let's get to know each
other.
She never took the initiative to
know others with certain purposes. Instead, she worked steadily, shared value
with others, created value, and let others remember you. Only in this way could
she have the chance to know about cooperation.
Otherwise, even if you get the
business card and add it on WeChat, others may not necessarily become your
connections.
The real need of connections: to
give value.
You will know what kind of person
you can give him or her.
You can create as much value as
you can for others.
3. The business model of
"flower blooming"
I'm a business counselor, but I
never come to the company to sell myself. There is even no receptionist's phone
number in the company.
I named it "flower
blooming".
You think of yourself as a
flower. We only care about the beauty of this flower, and only want to emit our
own light, heat and fragrance.
If someone is attracted by the
fragrance of flowers within the scope of their scope, it's really lucky that he
has the chance to become our client or partner.
We don't want to call our
customers with the loud speaker, nor do we want to persuade others.
If she found that the person was
still convinced, it could only prove that the "fragrance" of the
flower was not enough.
It doesn't matter. It's not the
customer's fault. It's mine.I will try my best.
I will continue to face the
scorching sun, wind and rain, and strive for my "flower fragrance" to
attract him one day.
I only care about myself blooming
this flower.
If the bees don't come, it only
means that I'm not blooming well and the fragrance is not far enough.
When we found it difficult to do
business, we said to ourselves
The fragrance of flowers was not
enough.
I'm neither tired nor
serious.keep trying.
Conclusion
Someone once asked me, "what should I do in the
cold winter to make money and return my blood quickly?"?
In fact, I'm not good at answering questions like
"how to be fast".
In fact, I like to do stupid things.
I can understand his anxiety, but I have to answer
honestly
Making money was not the starting point of
business.The starting point of all business was the benefit of consumers.
In normal times, if he didn't pay attention to cash
flow and scattered risks, he didn't invest cautiously and create a second curve
of an enterprise.
But she wanted to make money in a short time.
It was like getting a gym card, but she had never been
to a gym, but she longed for 8 Pack Abs overnight.
The only thing you can do now is to save money and
keep the cash in your hand to ensure the least sign of sleep.
Why?
The more you want to make money, the less money you
can make.The more you want to be quick, the more you want it.
You will get what you deserve as long as you pay for
others. Money will appear as a result here.
You should always remember that making money is not
because of this idea, but because of the value of what you are doing.
The vast majority of people focused on how to think in
the front, ignoring the source behind.
What is the value of what you are going to do?
