Recently, on the Alibaba entrepreneurship channel, I saw "someone is using Shi Yuzhu to stir up hype and write articles. They even collected so-called 'Shi Yuzhu's Classic Entrepreneurship Quotations'". After SWJ read it, he decided to share it with everyone and incorporate some personal opinions and ideas into it!

The classic entrepreneurship quotations of Shi Yuzhu (totally divided into ten principles) are as follows:

One, 90% of the difficulties you haven't thought about now, and you don't even know they are difficulties.

SWJ: I think we should not think too far ahead; that has no practical significance. Instead, we should look at the present and do some practical things step by step. Isn't there a boss who once said in BOSS Hall that we don't consider plans for N years later; our longest plan only covers two years!

Two, when core team members want to resign, don't try to persuade them to stay. If they have proposed it, sooner or later they will leave.

SWJ: Old Shi’s move is quite "radical" and also realistic. Some things cannot be forced and should develop naturally.

Three, if you don’t have a price advantage or an absolute technical advantage, never enter the red ocean market, otherwise, you will surely lose.

SWJ: From Old Shi’s words, I feel that the Internet is not only a place where money burns absolutely but ultimately still competes on "technology", which is similar to what I said on SEO-SH.CN - SEO ultimately still relies on "strategy".

Four, when doing chain operation business, you must make a set of dummy marketing manuals and management manuals. Only in this way can you achieve long-distance management.

SWJ: Simplicity is the truth. Some seemingly complex things can actually be solved with "a few simple steps." Management is like this, and SEO is also like this!

Five, after successfully running one store, your big success is not far away. So first, you need to focus and run one store well. You should abandon the idea of chains for now and not dream too much about how to do chains in the future. First, you need to run the first store solidly.

SWJ: Rather than talking big, it is better to seriously do some practical things. This is the same principle as the first point. Thinking too much and dreaming too much often leads to nothing being done well!

Six, when doing a nationwide market, you must first create a trial sales market. You must take it step by step, rushing won't help. When you really reach the national market, you need to be half a step faster, delays cannot be tolerated.

SWJ: Old Shi is truly a businessman, the "old fox" I mentioned. This is the same as building a website - do you want to build a portal or a site in a specific field or industry? (This doesn't apply if you're rich!)

Seven, don't think that having only a junior high school education is a disadvantage. There is no difference between junior high school education and a postdoctoral degree. As long as you can work, that's all I care about. I've always held this view - I don't care about academic qualifications, as long as you can work and contribute.

SWJ: Old Shi, I admire what you said! I only have a vocational school diploma, and my major was tourism, completely unrelated to IT now! But I can proudly say that my social experience is no less than those older than me! (^ ^) A little arrogance here... SWJ turned 23 after the Spring Festival this year... I was born in 1986!

Eight, as someone who has failed before, we should learn something from our failures. People don't learn anything when they succeed. When people are in good times, during success, they can't settle down and summarize, resulting in superficial conclusions. Only during failure, the lessons learned are profound and real.

SWJ: First, let's quote the old saying, "Failure is the mother of success!" Only by constantly challenging yourself can you continuously surpass yourself! The biggest enemy is not others, but yourself! Is the current you better than the past you?

At least I believe that compared to my past self, I can be described as "flying"! My past self... let's not talk about it! Street racing, fighting, brawling, staying up all night...

Nine, re-summarize the successful experiences of the past, especially the lessons from failure. In the quiet hours of the night, carefully reflect. Anyway, you'll be thinking while lying in bed, so why not use that time to reflect deeply? It will yield great benefits, more useful than reading books. Because some books are distant from your own reality; reflecting on your own past writings is closer.

SWJ: Actually, I've always been like this, just that in the past, I thought more about women and friends. Now, I think more about my career and work. In the quiet of the night, listening to slow music, sipping coffee, quietly reflecting.

Ten, at the most painful and stressful moments, when there's only one thing on your mind, I gather the managers of all the branches at the foot of a desolate mountain at the North Gate. We stay in a guesthouse, close the door, and hold a criticism meeting. Everyone criticizes me, and we criticize for three days and three nights. I find this very useful.

SWJ: Haha, if I had the resources, I would do it too. For myself, "collecting data" is a beneficial thing!

SWJ's summary: After reading these quotations of Old Shi, I don't know whether he summarized them himself or someone else helped him organize them. Anyway, I think all of these points are predictable. To me, the key is still the "execution" issue. Saying that I will definitely get up at 6 every morning, but if I only manage to do it for 3 out of 5 days in a week, then it's meaningless! Talking is not as good as doing. I hope everyone will practice more, especially those doing SEO!

Old Shi, if you are the big crazy person, then I am the small crazy person! (*^__^*) I first learned about you from the Jiangnan SEO (www.seofans.cn) webmaster, and later, I wanted to learn more about you!
