After the epidemic is over, should you continue to work or choose to start a business?

First of all, I do not agree to start a business easily under any circumstances:

Starting a business also pays attention to the right time, the right location, and the right people!

Let’s analyze my experience of opening a shop:

I opened a car beauty and decoration shop from 2017 to 2019. It was a relatively prosperous one in our town. , located at the junction of a prefecture-level city and two county-level cities, there are also trains passing by, and the surrounding villages are relatively dense.

1. Everyone knows that every household now has a car. Compared with previous years, there are indeed more private cars, but there are also more people engaged in the car service industry. There are about 12 in our town. Car service store. Although there are more cars, there are also more opponents, and the traffic flow equally distributed to each house is less, so it is difficult to do it, and the weather is not available!

2. My store is a street-facing store with three rooms, but only one can enter cars, one can enter people, and the other one has a window. The space at the entrance is also relatively spacious and can park five or six cars at the same time. The store faces the street, next to the provincial highway, and the traffic volume is relatively large, so the number of customers is still acceptable. The location is okay.

3. I am also quite flexible in my business. Sometimes I can charge less customers, and sometimes I give more things to customers. I also work neatly and cleanly, and I have a lot of repeat customers. People and people also have it.

Finally, let’s talk about why we didn’t do it. The rent is 10,800 yuan a year, which is quite high for a small town. I run the store with my daughter-in-law. First of all, my daughter-in-law is lazy and has no work to do, and I am more diligent and often have conflicts. I have to stay in the store whether there is work or not. I am anxious when there is no work. I am anxious even if I have no work to finish. In short, I am anxious all the time. Maybe it is just my personality. Generally speaking, if you feel tired, you will stop working. In total, it is almost the same as two people working together, maybe even worse.

Now that there is an epidemic, most people are staying at home, and most stores are basically closed. I believe it will take some time to recover. Therefore, it is recommended to continue working. If you just want to start a business, you can wait a year. The market will probably improve.

That’s it, I hope it’s helpful to you

This epidemic has indeed made people reflect a lot. In the face of disaster, what is needed is not fame, power, or status. It’s about having enough supplies and funds to ensure the lives of yourself and your family.

The current epidemic has caused the vast majority of companies to delay the resumption of work for more than half a month, and some companies have even closed their doors. Under such a premise, many workers have no income, and even if they do, they are paid at the minimum wage. Seriously affect life. Especially those house slaves and car slaves, who have traveled thousands of miles to go to work regardless of the danger of the epidemic. Because they have responsibilities and obligations to ensure a normal life for a family. greatly increases the risk.

Therefore, in the face of such a nationwide disaster, we can only survive smoothly by increasing our savings and daily necessities. My hometown is Qujing, Yunnan, and I work in a company in Hengdian. Arrive in Hengdian on 2.15. Because I have endless debts to pay off, I have to go to work. As soon as he arrived in Hengdian, he was put under quarantine and observation. Only if the nucleic acid test is negative can you go to work normally. My dad also advised me that if the epidemic is serious, if I stay at home, I will make less money. A healthy body is the capital.

I have also thought about starting a business at home, or finding a place to work near home, but starting a business has no capital, high risks, and I still need a loan. Looking for a job at home, the salary is relatively low. So let’s go back to work for now. After the debt is paid off, I am thinking about whether to start a business. When I go back to the countryside to start a business, I think the best thing is to engage in breeding, because this is something that guarantees people's livelihood, and everyone cannot live without eating meat. So in a few years, when you are in your thirties, when your mind has matured and funds are not tight, you can go home and raise pigs or cattle. Although you may not be able to make a lot of money, there is no problem in maintaining your life, so now you must keep going to work, exercise your will, increase your experience, reserve funds, and go home to develop when the time is right.

In fact, whether to work or start a business is a long-term question, and it does not only appear after the epidemic.

I am also an entrepreneur myself, and I am a female entrepreneur, and a middle-aged female entrepreneur. I have a factory at home, and I am also a boss lady. Although the factory is not big, I still have enough food and clothing, and my life is quite leisurely.

In the first half of last year, I lived a life of eating, shopping and watching TV shows with my little sisters. But I always feel that I have the ability to do something and bring out my own value. In May, I encountered a relatively good project myself. After some serious analysis, I felt that this project could be done. This project is not only beneficial to myself, but more importantly, it can bring health to many people. Although many people around me advised me not to do it, they thought my life was pretty good, so why should I have to suffer for it myself. But I don’t think there will be many opportunities in life. Once you recognize it, you must seize the opportunity. So I went to the headquarters for training in July last year, and then returned to Suzhou from Northeast China in August and started looking for a store by myself. This is how the hard work of starting a business began.

If you want to start a business, you must first be prepared to endure hardships and have a certain ability to resist risks. You must determine how much you can invest. If your business fails, can you bear the loss? Of course, necessary learning is indispensable before starting a business. You need to know where your strengths are and where your weaknesses are? What industry are you suitable for? It is not suitable for any industry. And you can’t just follow what others say, and you can’t think it’s feasible just because others are doing well. There are many entrepreneurs in our country every year, but very few survive in the end, and most of them die. So you really can’t look at what others are like. The most important thing is to look at what you can do yourself. Do you have lofty enough ideals? Are you starting a business to realize your personal life value, or are you trying to make more money and change your life situation? Starting a business is really not an easy task. It is related to the direction of your life, so you must think carefully before doing it, analyze it carefully, and try to do your work first, so as to reduce the probability of failure later.

If you decide to embark on the road of entrepreneurship after thinking about it, I wish you success in starting a business!

My situation is as embarrassing as yours. I learned barbecue from my brother at the end of 2019 and was planning to start a big fight this year. Who knew this would happen? Looking at the deserted streets, I suddenly lost the idea of ??doing business. Although the idea of ??starting a business is good, real money is invested in it. To put it bluntly, it is just for money. Without money, it is absolutely impossible. Facing a car loan , housing loan, there are small burdens on seniors and juniors. Whether you can start a business or not depends on the impact on the local area after the epidemic. You can wait and see before taking action. Everyone is welcome to discuss your thoughts after the epidemic. [Sending Hearts][Sending Hearts]

After the epidemic is over, I will resign. This is something I decided to implement during this holiday. I feel that life is impermanent. Just do what you want to do. Don’t do it. Wait, because I am now 42 years old. If I don’t take action, I will get old. After resigning, I will go to Beijing and look for houses while looking for a job. Because I want to settle in Beijing for the rest of my life. I don’t want to rent a house. I need stability. Home, so a house must be bought.

This can only vary from person to person, and everyone’s situation is different. Working is relatively stable, and the income is also stable, without big ups and downs. If you start a business, your income is unstable, and you may lose all your assets or lose money. A handful of things can make a career happen! Take myself as an example! We are a couple, I am 83 and my daughter-in-law is 82, both came from rural areas and worked hard in the city. My parents live with us and we have two children, Alexander! I have been working in the automobile industry for more than 15 years, and my current position and income are pretty good. My wife has changed many industries and jobs. Her last job was as the head of a pharmaceutical trading company. Finally, I decided to play it safe. I will earn money to support our family, and my wife will start her own business. . Throughout 2019, the business of my wife’s company has been ups and downs. Generally speaking, it has not closed down. It has managed to survive on its own. My income is responsible for the daily expenses of the family. I will not be hungry even if I can’t survive.

As a Xiaoqiang who has repeatedly failed in his entrepreneurial journey, I have some personal experiences and advice that I would like to share with everyone who wants to start a business.

1. If you can do it alone, you must not find a partner. If you can't do that, you have to be more cautious than looking for a partner.

2. Be sure to understand your partner's cognitive level, even if he is a good person.

3. If the interests are too great, you cannot trust anyone except yourself.

4. There will never be pie in the sky. If there is, it must be a pit.

5. If you want to start a business, you must first learn to pretend to be a grandson!

I was deceived when starting my business in the middle of last year, which was my second disastrous failure! Compared with the first loss, this time it was much worse.

This time, not only did I lose all the savings I had saved in the past three years, but I also borrowed some money from friends and family. The total *** amount added together should be the profit of the home improvement company after five years of operation.

I first started by running a home decoration business, and gradually accumulated experience and gold coins. Since most of the work had been done for more than a year, I started to be promoted to project supervision.

But the good times did not last long. About a month later, the two partners in the company had quarrels every now and then due to disagreements. Soon, the group finally arrived and dispersed.

Since the company doesn’t have much money in its books, I still have a lot of commissions that they can’t get out.

I thought about it, after all, they were the ones who brought me into this industry, and it is indeed very difficult to ask for money from other people’s pockets now. Seeing that both of them wanted to sublet it, I gritted my teeth and immediately proposed that I would use the commission from the business and engineering projects to take over the company and run it alone. As soon as they combined, they immediately transferred the store that was less than two years old to me.

When I first started running my business independently, I realized that the work that I could complete by myself before was not the case at all when I implemented it now. People's energy is limited and they simply cannot do everything. I had no choice but to use the money I had to recruit salespeople on recruitment websites.

What I didn’t expect was that the young people who were about the same age as me were all so-called social novices. I had no choice but to start training them one by one on telesales and face-to-face sales after get off work.

I have been doing this day and night for more than a year. During this time, I have seen too many changes in human relationships and the changes in the world. Seeing that the deadline for renting the shop was coming, I used my current financial skills to calculate the total carefully. Fortunately, I still made some money, somewhat more than working part-time.

Because in the business, I met many small business owners, and they would often come to my store to drink tea. Among them was a local paint boss whom I met when we were doing business in the past. Not only did we cooperate many times during this period, he also helped me with a lot of small things.

So as we kept going back and forth, our friendship became deeper and deeper.

He heard that my store was about to expire, so he extended an olive branch and wanted to go to Macau with me to contract a tooling hotel.

After a meeting with him, I agreed to sign a contract with Party B, and he signed a contract with Party A again.

Our shareholder transferred the project funds to Party A's account as promised. However, after the other party received the money, they did not allow our staff to enter the construction site for various reasons with documents.

Seeing this situation, I, who was not optimistic about this matter earlier, immediately proposed to our major shareholder to withdraw shares.

But because Party A is a liar who is familiar with the law, he keeps deceiving our major shareholder. But if he is good or bad, he still believes in Party A. Even though the second shareholder and I repeatedly expressed our opinions on the surface, he just didn't believe our proposal and even laughed at us for having dark hearts! We insisted that we had no money and were unwilling to terminate the contract with Party A. With the contract in our hands, we could only sue the major shareholder, so we kept putting it off.

The result can be imagined. After being teased with his IQ many times, he chose to accept the reality.

Since we have not entered the site for more than half a year, we proposed to terminate the contract and refund the money we invested in the project. However, the other party misappropriated the material fees early before our personnel came to the site for construction, and found several other construction teams to come to the site for construction.

Even if our front was unified, he began to worry about the high legal fees in Macau and was reluctant to make up his mind.

Due to the lack of funds, I can no longer start from home decoration. After closing the store, he began to focus on collecting debts.

Three months later, the local boss still has not made up his mind to sue. Not only that, he also secretly returned half of the investment to the second shareholder without letting me know.

At the end of 2019, I saw too much about human nature and chose to face it calmly. I started working again after three years.

Just one month into my job, I caught up with the epidemic and the company had no choice but to let me quarantine at home.

In desperation, I can only use borrowed money to repay some of the money from relatives and friends, and then go to the local boss to ask for money to repay the borrowed money.

Although his cognition is very naive, he is still a good person.

Seeing that I was desperate, he had no choice but to pay me back one-third of the money.

During the epidemic, many small and medium-sized enterprises were seen going bankrupt. I really don’t know whether closing the store is a blessing or a curse for me.

It is good to start a business or work part-time. The one that suits you is the best.

After the black swan incident, there may be the following major industry changes:

1: Online projects such as e-commerce, short videos, games, online education, and knowledge payment will encounter Unprecedented development opportunities, and even a blowout!

2: High-tech industries such as unmanned retail, unmanned catering, drone delivery, and artificial intelligence machines are on the rise. There will be no waiters in the future service industry.

3: Various delivery platforms and door-to-door service platforms, such as vegetable food delivery, customized catering delivery, cleaning/babysitting/moving and other door-to-door services.

4: Online office software, especially office software that enables individual collaboration, is the future trend, and work is no longer limited by geographical space.

5: In the era of home office furniture, home entertainment equipment, and the rise of individuals, more and more people will work at home and remotely in the future.

6: In terms of intra-city logistics, errand services, etc., people in the future will become more and more lazy, more and more independent, and less and less fond of contact with others.

7: Private doctors, private psychologists, and various online consultation services;

8: VR/AR and other scene experience projects will attract attention again, plus As 5G matures, its application will accelerate progress, and the virtual world will gradually become the real world.

9: Various projects that can go deep into the community, including rural areas, to help society conduct grid management.

10: Medicine, health, health care, scientific fitness and other industries continue to maintain a high growth momentum. People earn more money and spend more on purchasing health, including physical and mental health.

11: Everyone’s cognition (health and freedom, etc.), after this time, more people will realize that living is important, living healthy is more important, and the company will operate more professionally and efficiently, not more 996.

Entrepreneurs can pay more attention, and those looking for jobs can also pay more attention to these major types of companies

This time of the new coronavirus, almost everyone is at home. At home, for many ordinary people who go to work or work part-time, they cannot return to work, and the balance in their pockets is getting smaller and smaller. The heavy responsibility of supporting their families and the contrasting self-esteem between rich and poor have to make them think about their way out after the epidemic.

For some friends in their 30s and 40s, they are no longer young, and it is not realistic to start from the grassroots level when looking for a job again. Entrepreneurship has become one of their livelihood options. In fact, after the epidemic, it is a very good time for catering, especially braised vegetables, to start a business. Why do you say this? You will know after listening to these three points.

1. The cost of starting a business is low

We all know that the epidemic has had a serious impact on the catering industry. Some restaurants without sufficient cash flow are facing closure and subletting of stores. risk. This is a good opportunity for new braised vegetable entrepreneurs. If you search carefully at this time, you may be able to rent the most suitable store at the lowest price. In this way, the total cost of opening a braised vegetable restaurant will be reduced. After all, the biggest investment in starting a braised vegetable business is store rent.

2. Consumption is ushering in explosive growth

The epidemic has made people stay at home for a long time, especially because everyone is tired of eating at home every day. After the epidemic is over, the catering industry will definitely usher in a period of explosive growth! Many people have a "revenge" consumption mentality and eat all the delicacies they can't eat during this period. The same is true for the braised vegetable industry.

3. The weather is warming up and the peak season has arrived

It is now late February. When the epidemic is over, probably in March, we can resume normal life. After a series of things like learning braised vegetable techniques, preparations for opening the store, and so on, it’s April and May in the blink of an eye. The weather is getting hotter at this time, which is the peak season for braised vegetables sales every year! After all, the weather is hot, and many people have no appetite and are too lazy to cook at home. Braised vegetables just meet the needs of consumers to buy and eat immediately, and business will naturally improve.

The topic of entrepreneurship is really popular in this era of universal entrepreneurship.

Answer my three questions to see if you are suitable for starting a business.

1. Do you simply want to run a small business to support your family, or do you want to do a big business to prove yourself. If it's the former, then running a small business is not much different from working part-time, so just do it if you want to. If it's the latter, then you have to think carefully, because your early planning, setting goals, and choosing a suitable project will determine your future profit direction. Blindly starting a business is basically a failure.

2. Are you prepared for failure in starting a business? Not all projects will be successful. I think you should be able to bear the failure of your small business. At most, you can go back to work and lose some of your savings. The impact on your life itself will not be particularly large. But starting a business is different. You may lose money that you cannot make back after working for a while, and it may affect your life.

3. 3. Whether you are doing a project or a small business, starting a business is not about shouting slogans, it is about making real efforts, which may be a hundred times harder than working at work. If you are someone who can't persist, I suggest you don't try it. If you have a dream, passion, resources, and a feasible project, then go for it.

Hope this helps
