Three elements of successful entrepreneurship:
The first psychological quality: can't afford to lose. Everyone wants to win, but the venture is unsuccessful. Can you bear the consequences of failure? If not, please don't start your own business!
The second psychological quality: Do you have the courage to fight again if you fail? Failure is not terrible. The terrible thing is to lose the passion and courage to start a business. The terrible thing is that if you fall, you will never get up again. Only when you get up and struggle can you have a chance to succeed in starting a business!
The third psychological quality: can you sum up experiences and lessons, keep a positive and optimistic attitude, and believe that anything that happens in life is beneficial? Me? .

Celebrity stories of entrepreneurs' success
Zhou Hang in EMBA4 has always been a late bloomer.
He participated in the first session in 2006? Xuanzang's road? At that time, the Gobi Challenge of business school only felt that it was an ordinary cross-country activity. In the next few years, he saw many people who had been to recall this activity, with tears on their faces, talking about their feelings affectionately and saying, what is this? A walk that touches the soul? Zhou Hang suddenly felt that he had left in a hurry.
? I love neither music nor electronic products. I started a sound company at that time, because I thought this industry could make money. ? Like most entrepreneurs in China, Zhou Hang's entrepreneurial motivation is not hobbies, but making money.
1994, Zhou Hang, 2 1 year old, just graduated from university and founded Foshan Tianchuang Electronic Enterprise Co., Ltd. Ten years later, this company ranked first in the professional audio industry in China, providing most or even all audio equipment for large-scale domestic events such as Beijing Olympic Games and Shanghai World Expo. Zhou Hang, who was just in his early thirties, got his wish and lived a rich and stable life. Perhaps because of his early success, Zhou Hang's character has always been rational and calm.
? Get up in the morning, drive to the golf course for an hour, play for more than four hours, and then drive back to have dinner with friends at night. The day passed like this. ? Zhou Hang described life at that time.
When he doesn't know what to do, the golf course becomes a seemingly healthy haven. He vaguely felt that it was not good to live such a semi-retirement life in his early 30 s, but he could not find any motivation to change himself. Zhou Hang sees the golf course as an escape? Run away from your inner impulse. In fact, since 2003, he wants to start a business again and do what he really likes.
? However, people are always lazy, and laziness always has an excuse. Anyway, there is no shortage of money, and procrastination has never been done. ? Zhou Hang said. Once he wants to do something, his rationality will be weighed in turn, and he will find many reasons for himself: for example, thinking about what to do if he fails, thinking that he is fine now and has a lot of free time to enjoy, and so on.
Zhou Hang said that most entrepreneurs go to golf courses to escape from something. A good friend of his used to do real estate in Hainan. After the real estate crash in Hainan, the man owed a lot of debts, and he had to soak in the golf course every day to avoid the debts. After soaking for more than a year, I have developed an amazing skill.
Enter the Yangtze river
In those years, Zhou Hang has been playing. In 2004, he enrolled in the fourth EMBA of cheung kong graduate school of business, and he switched from golf to traveling abroad? From where? Xuanzang's road? At first, he fell in love with playing outdoors again. Cheung kong graduate school of business established Gaoyuan Outdoor Club, and then in Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, entrepreneurs who participated in Xuanzang Road voluntarily set up the first folk rescue team, in which Zhou Hang participated. Is he here with me? Xuanzang's road? The friends I know in the world have been to the Alashan Desert, climbed the Haba Snow Mountain, crossed the Anji Forest, set sail in Dameisha, been to the Qingming memorial service in Tengchong, and been to Wenchuan and Yushu disaster areas, and walked 10 km every week.
Zhou Hang felt that no matter whether he could find the meaning or goal of life by doing these things, at least he opened his eyes and did something beneficial to others and society, and his life became rich and healthy.
? Xuanzang's road? It is a project founded by Qu Xiangdong, a former CCTV host. His current status is the chairman of Xingzhi Exploration Culture Communication Company. From June 5438 to October 2005 10, he planned once? Xuanzang's road? Hiking activities According to textual research, the most difficult part of Xuanzang's westward journey is from Guazhou, Gansu to Hami, Xinjiang, which is called 800 Li Yellow Sand. Xuanzang tried to give up many times along the way, but he finally persisted. This is the source of Xuanzang's road.
Qu Xiangdong divides this section of the road into three sections: A, B and C. Section A is from the ruins of Ta 'er Temple in Dunhuang to Baidunzi, with a total distance of 1 10 km, and is going to walk for four days. At that time, more than 20 people were invited, including,,, Zhang, Qi Daqing, Zhou, Ge and so on.
Shortly before he left, Wang Shi's secretary called Qu Xiangdong and said that Wang Shi had something to do temporarily and might not be able to go. Qu Xiangdong is anxious:? The central figure in this matter is Wang Shi. No one can go, he can't go. ? In the end, Wang Shi gave in to Qu Xiangdong's combination of hard and soft. Later, Wang Shi became a signboard of this project. After that, he will write an article for this activity every year, saying that this road is his mental journey. Xuanzang Road, who will take part in the activities in the future? Ge You? Everyone has a number, and Wang Shi's number is 00000T0 1.
After the hiking activity, Zhang, then dean of Guanghua School of Management of Peking University, and Qi Daqing and Qu Xiangdong, vice presidents of cheung kong graduate school of business suggested that this activity could be extended to EMBA students of business schools and a challenge between business schools could be held. Qu Xiangdong accepted this suggestion, registered a company and wrote several business sponsorship schemes.
? Gobi challenge? Bound by
At the beginning of 2006, Wang Rui, general manager of Red Bull Energy Beverage Co., Ltd. decided to sponsor this project. Wang Rui is a student in cheung kong graduate school of business. She believes that EMBA students need to hold a sports meeting and communicate through competitions, so the project has a bright future. May 2006, the first issue? Xuanzang's road? Gobi Challenge for International Business Schools was held, in which six business schools including Changjiang, Tsinghua, Peking University and Fudan University participated.
The competition is divided into Group A and Group B, with Group A winning or losing and Group B focusing on experience. In addition to a strong desire to win, experience is also a selling point of the activity. There were many famous sayings in the first activity in 2005, such as Wang Shi's? Keep the soul in sync? What about Feng Lun? Greatness is made? . Many entrepreneurs who come to participate in the activities later really hope to find some experiences related to soul and wisdom on this road.
In fact, Qu Xiangdong originally organized this activity purely to let the students increase their knowledge, deepen their friendship and exercise. As the secretary-general of the organizing Committee, he constantly emphasizes the importance of participation, experience and? Everybody wins? . Wang Rui's joining changed this tone. Does she know that entrepreneurs or young people with business ideals are competitive? To a great extent, this is the premise for them to start their own businesses and compete in the shopping malls. On one occasion, Wang Rui seriously said to Qu Xiangdong:? You can't cultivate a culture that encourages the weak. Winning or losing is very important. ?
The winner of the first Gobi Challenge was cheung kong graduate school of business, and Qu Xiangdong prepared six identical medals, saying? Everybody wins? . As a result, at the award ceremony, accompanied by Wang Feng's Fly Higher, Life is in Full Bloom, a boy from cheung kong graduate school of business rushed out crying? Cheung kong graduate school of business, who won the first prize, became the most unhappy group of people in the whole awards evening because she won the same medals as other schools.
? For the honor of the school, many people start training one year in advance, quit drinking and eating, and run 10 km a week. The training point in Beijing is the Olympic Sports Park. ? Xuanzang's road? A staff member said that many entrepreneurs in their 40 s and 50 s want to? Xuanzang's road? Changed their way of life, and even took part in a marathon. China Europe Business School, which ranked first for three consecutive years, was nicknamed "China Europe Business School" because of its students' enthusiasm for outdoor sports. China Europe Institute of Physical Education? .
But Zhou Hang has some different ideas:? When we were in the city, we fought for fame and fortune every day. I finally gave myself a week to run to the desert thousands of miles away, and the result was fame and fortune. Then why are we going? He hopes that he can gain some different experiences from the activities.
? Many entrepreneurs climb mountains to flaunt their identity or just to get the pleasure of competition, not really for hobbies. For example, you need money, leisure and good health to climb the highest peak of the seven continents and go to the North and South poles? This is the label of a successful person. ?
After the Gobi Challenge every year, the organizers will produce some printed materials, and various business schools will also produce some brochures, all of which are the experiences of some participants, including "Sprint! Thank you! Tears! Titles such as "Stick to your faith", "Be conscious, don't rush" and "Life goes on and steps on". ? Everyone has a unique feeling when writing, but when they look closely, they are all the same. ?
At the beginning of 2006, when Zhou Hang was still in class in cheung kong graduate school of business, he listened to Qi Daqing, vice president of cheung kong graduate school of business. Xuanzang's road? Contemporary celebrities, lonely deserts and challenging hiking all make him feel cool. So with an outing in mind, he took part in the first official competition. As a result, Zhou Hang saw many people running through the finish line in tears, but he didn't particularly want to win, and he didn't have any unforgettable experience, just felt very tired.
? Put it down? Is the beginning of another long journey.
? Many people changed careers, resigned and started businesses after Xuanzang's trip. Those who don't want to get married, those who don't want to get divorced, and many people have converted to religion. In short, I made a very important decision for my life. ? One? Xuanzang's road? The staff said.
Zhou Hang has always been a very rational person. He is always joking and fanning the flames when others are passionate. Zhou Hang later admitted that every time he heard the story of people's passion and self-transcendence in the Gobi Desert, he was actually eager for such an experience. He is eager to cry once, to experience what it is like to challenge the limit, and even to have a great change in his temperament.
? Xuanzang's road? In addition to 1 12km A, there are also sections B and C for people who are not addicted after challenging section A. The distance is longer and the conditions are worse. Section B130km, completed in four days. 20 10, Zhou Hang is going to section b, and there are 14 people who have the same idea with him. Zhou Hang tried to ask his companion, why do you want to come again? All these people use one. Xuanzang's road? Very popular at school? Zen? Answer him? Put it down, put it down. ?
? Put it down? This word was used in 2005? Xuanzang's road? Born in. By the campfire, Wang and I are chatting. At that time, Wang Shi was in the stage of letting go of the enterprise, which was actually to establish a perfect enterprise management mechanism for Vanke. He began to take the initiative to stay away from the management of the company and delegate power. Wang Shi said to the outside world:? The more I climb mountains, the better my business will be. ? That night, Wang Shi said to the people sitting around the campfire. You see who can put it down in the end, it's me. Several people agreed to come, but they didn't. Feng Lun got off the plane, went to the hotel in Dunhuang to have dinner with us, and then left. I'm the one who can finally let go. ?
Since then,? Put it down? Has it become a fashionable expression of entrepreneurs? Put it down? It has also become a symbol of success.
20 10? Xuanzang's road? Zhou Hang decided to change his slightly alienated attitude before and began to walk seriously.
? On the third day, it was 34 kilometers and only rested three times. When I face a tornado, there is almost no escape, when I cry in the scorching sun and strong wind, when I get lost in the deserted Gobi, I feel that I have a huge energy and can't stop running at high speed. Finally, the third one arrived at the camp at 4:50 pm. At this time, I feel very strong, I feel that I have achieved my self-commitment, and I am very proud. I know, from now on, I have a strong heart! ? Zhou Hang recalled.
Zhou Hang has been thinking hard during this trip? Put it down? I also have a lot of experience, but I still don't understand what to do. Put it down? What? He still didn't cry.
20 1 1 Zhou Hang came back for the C-section hike,167km. It took five days, and only nine people walked together. This time, he finally realized? Weak? This feeling? He had a little cold before he left, and he has been in poor health since he started on the road. Finally, with the help of his teammates, he finished hiking.
Zhou Hang said that on the afternoon of the third day, he looked at the GPS display and found that his speed had dropped to less than two kilometers per hour, and his legs could not walk away. Looking at the endless desert, the distance between himself and his teammates is getting farther and farther. He estimated that it was at least midnight when he returned to the camp. He had a nervous breakdown.
Entrepreneurs who suddenly start to be keen on outdoor sports are mostly at the bottleneck stage of their lives or careers? Wang Rui once asked cheung kong graduate school of business to participate? Xuanzang's road? Four female students found that they all had some marriage and family problems without exception. Some frustrated people will regain their confidence in the process of conquering nature, and some people will see themselves more clearly in the process of being conquered by nature.
? In cities, people often feel arrogant and think that everything is the product of human labor, buildings are repaired quickly, and urban construction is changing with each passing day. People who are on the rise in their careers will feel that competition, winning or losing, and conquest are very important. They can't see the scenery and are full of pride in themselves. ? Zhou Hang said that many entrepreneurs or businessmen in China are profit-driven because they are not interested in themselves. But you can't do business just for money.
An easy-to-use car
? I haven't played much these two years. ? Zhou Hang said. In 20 10, he finally started his long-awaited second venture, and founded the car-changing service, which can provide car rental service with drivers for consumers. Is this venture really out of hobby or demand? Because Zhou Hang doesn't like driving very much.
? In my previous business, I faced big customers and got business through bidding. Inevitably, there are many things I don't like. ? Zhou Hang said that what he always wanted to do was a business that could bring convenience to more people. ? The car rental industry has been in existence for more than ten or twenty years, but it is very small and scattered, mostly a few people and dozens of people, each with dozens of cars, and the business area is not wide. Can we integrate existing resources and quickly form a unified service network?
Zhou Hang didn't buy a car this time, but concentrated on developing a technology platform. ? We signed a contract with the car rental company to make a car terminal for each car. In the past, a vehicle terminal may be expensive and huge, and it needs to be repaired. Now, as long as you make a client on the smart phone and use the existing data map and positioning technology, it is easy to know the position and state of each car. ?
In the office with easy access to the car network, there is a big map of Beijing with moving car signs running around on it. The same map is also displayed on the user-friendly mobile phone client. ? We have no competitive relationship with the original operator, which is the ingenious design of our business model. Vehicles can never be saturated, and everyone is willing to improve the utilization rate of their vehicles. Once they are free, they will be released and join our matching system. Our system has an internal algorithm based on location, economy, etc. Find out which car to send and then push the order, just like a search engine. ? Now, Zhou Hang's team has expanded to more than 300 people. In addition to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have also established sites.
Many friends in Zhou Hang expressed their opposition to this venture, because Zhou Hang did not have the experience and team to be an Internet enterprise, and some of them were worried that China people might not need such services. But he did it anyway.
? You must accept who you really are and listen to your inner voice. ? Zhou Hang said, how? We tend to be too rational when making judgments. The so-called rationality is the judgment of interests and gains and losses. In fact, you have a voice in your heart for a long time, but we are usually too noisy to hear the inner voice. When you really listen to your inner voice, you will become braver. ?
Perhaps, running away is to let him hear the sound.
