In Vin's view, it is natural for her to quit her job and start a business. She has worked in a consulting company for five years, and she is a veteran in this industry. As a result, Vin, who thought he had human, material and financial resources, finally submitted his resignation letter to his boss last month, rented an office, recruited two people, printed a business card and prepared for a big fight.
Unexpectedly, her road to entrepreneurship turned red. Although I have rich industry experience, I didn't know it until I became a boss. Because the industry threshold is relatively low, the competition in the consulting industry is very fierce. A few years ago, there were few consulting companies, and a few ideas could make a lot of money. Nowadays, consulting companies are mushrooming, with many practitioners and competitors, and it is difficult to make characteristics. Customers are generally more willing to look for consulting companies with high reputation and large scale. Even if there are a few old customers recruited by previous companies, they are all small companies, which are difficult to cope with huge daily expenses, and their income is incomparable with previous jobs.
Expert consultation: In fact, in addition to experience and ability, whether there are good projects and customer resources is the key to success or failure of starting a business. If you just do things by imagination, motivation and ideals, and enter those industries that seem simple, with small investment scale, low threshold and high replication, such as opening a small restaurant and a small coffee shop, but you can't make a difference, failure is inevitable. Therefore, before preparing to start a business, it is best to find out one question: am I really suitable for starting a business? Or is it more suitable to work hard in a position with ideal salary? On this basis, look at the market prospect of the project, the situation of competitors and the background of partners, and analyze all the situations that can be thought of clearly. All things considered, those who are sure to achieve great success can give it a try.

After figuring out these problems, Xiao Li started the registration process. Who knows, the news came that the country has high safety and health requirements for the venues and facilities of nurseries, and the staff must also have corresponding qualification certificates.
