1. An entrepreneur is an individual or team who develops a new product or provides a new service, develops and utilizes new technologies or resources, and introduces new models or methods to open up new markets and create enterprises. Through the comprehensive analysis of the abilities and behaviors of a large number of successful entrepreneurs, we find that they usually have the following performances: adventurous spirit, strong desire for control and sense of accomplishment, full of self-confidence, enterprising spirit, strategic vision, down-to-earth, resolute and diligent efforts, and are typical workaholics.
2. Strategic resources refer to resources that can establish competitive advantage in the process of starting a business, including material, technical, financial, human resources, business resources, business environment resources and social relations resources. Generally speaking, strategic resources should have four characteristics, namely, scarcity, value, difficulty in copying and irreplaceability. In fact, this is also the basic element for enterprises to gain competitive advantage and build core competitiveness.
3. Capital is the core financial resource necessary for starting a business. Its main sources are self-preparation, loan or loan financing, technical cooperation or other resource conversion. Regarding capital elements, I think we should pay attention to the following three issues: First, we should not advocate "capital-only entrepreneurship". Although capital is more important in the conditions of starting a business, it is not "starting a business without capital". In fact, the most important thing is the entrepreneur's personal business ability, especially business ability.
Strong support from the entrepreneurial team:
1. Under the premise that the entrepreneurial team and business model are mature, if there is strong financial support, the growth of entrepreneurial enterprises will be faster and better; Second, in the process of borrowing money or loans, we must estimate the repayment ability of our own projects in advance, or make a good financial budget for starting a business, including the specific return period and repayment speed, and we must not blindly borrow money because of the impulse of "entrepreneurial fever"; Third, in the process of financing, we must consider the return to investors and pay attention to the handling of the relationship with investors in the course of operation.
2. Technology mainly refers to the technology or service that entrepreneurs win the trust of customers, such as innovative products or services with high technology content. Its main sources are independent innovation, patent purchase and resource exchange. Especially today, with the development of high-tech leading industries, accelerated upgrading of products and services, and mass innovation, technologies with core competitiveness are becoming more and more important in the process of starting a business.
3. Entrepreneurial opportunities come from discovering, grasping and utilizing one or several business opportunities, provided that they can create market demand, create value for customers and have the potential to create excess profits. As the saying goes, "opportunities are rare, and time waits for no one." How to effectively identify, evaluate and seize a good entrepreneurial opportunity is one of the essential ability elements for entrepreneurs.
4. In the process of business identification, you need to meet the following two conditions: first, "you should be able to find value", that is, to obtain high-value business information, which is often obtained by others; The second is "being able to analyze the value", that is, analyzing the value of business information and making accurate judgments and decisions.
