Tip one: Different characters, why be too stubborn. At the entrance of the ancient Greek Delphi Temple, there was a wake-up call: "Know yourself." Some people are suitable for entrepreneurship, some are not, character is fate. Therefore, before starting a business, one must have a clear understanding of oneself and cannot stubbornly think that if others can succeed in entrepreneurship, they will not fail. Once you jump into the business sea, you step onto a no-return path.

Tip two: Failure at Mai Cheng causes great darkness, valuing long-term over short-term leads to mistakes. The famous bucket theory tells people: what determines the capacity of a bucket is not the longest wooden piece that makes up the bucket, but the shortest wooden piece. What determines the success or failure of a person or a cause is not their strength or advantage, but their defect or disadvantage. However, in practice, people tend to recognize their own strengths, but ignore the recognition of their own shortcomings, and at many critical moments, these shortcomings lead to the failure of the entire entrepreneurial cause.

Tip three: There are thousands of industries, don't enter the wrong one.

There are millions of ways to start a business, and one should not simply believe that as long as they work hard on any business, they will definitely make money. There are many businesses in some industries where no matter how hard you try, you won't make money. This is not a matter of luck, but is determined by the overall macro situation and industrial structure.
