Take a look at the second-time entrepreneurs, it seems like they all have some inborn deficiencies: Checking names at the industry and commerce bureau, whichever one hasn't been registered is used, done in one trip; unlike the first time when a name was submitted and rejected once, then submitted again and rejected again, back and forth wasting who knows how much time. The second time is about tasting the flavor of being a CEO, CTOs, CFOs, and VPs successful from their first entrepreneurship attempt at a second venture because there are unfinished wishes from the first go-around, such as personally experiencing what it's like to be a CEO, finally having "CEO" printed on their new business cards. In the first entrepreneurship attempt, they did what they were best at, like writing code, but during the second attempt, their signature skills aren't needed anymore. Writing code can be left to a group of programmers, now they have to do things they've never done before and aren't sure if they're good at: steering the wheel, managing people, overseeing sales, managing cash flow, P&L... Second-time entrepreneurs are often loners, during the first entrepreneurship attempt we all had co-founders and iron-blooded brothers. After succeeding, the brothers made a fortune and went their separate ways, some retired to their hometowns, others bought official positions and took concubines, still others went to other planets for permanent vacations. Those left willing to start a second venture are often either unreservedly taking the position of CEO or ascending straight to chairman, supreme and absolute authority. No one comes to fight over your seat, argue with you, or balance you out. You no longer have anywhere to vent frustrations or pour out grievances. Although you hold all the power, your confidence is unquestionable, and your employees revere and obey you completely, yet as night falls, loneliness inevitably sets in. The second time is about being comfortable, because not only do you have money this time, but VCs also scramble to send money your way. Money not spent is wasted, unlike the first time when you had nothing and had to beg door-to-door at VCs and clients, enduring wind and rain, suffering endlessly, worrying every night that your humble abode would be torn apart by autumn winds... During the second attempt, you don't have to worry about not being able to pay rent or salaries, about hunger or thirst, so splurge first on high-end office buildings, start with a grand opening, launch with high specifications; the second time doesn't require the same hard work and full commitment as the first. The second time is familiar territory, no longer needing to tread carefully like the first time, where every step required triple checks. The second time doesn't require charting a path, the first attempt was like finally getting into university after great effort, actively and eagerly learning everything from scratch, growing through trials and tribulations in practice. The second attempt is like a tenured professor repeating lectures, what idea, value chain, business model, financial forecasts, financing, listing, IPO don't I know? During the first attempt, no detail could be overlooked, seizing accidental opportunities eventually led to success, but during the second attempt, who has the time to nitpick details, success should come knocking on its own. The second time involves old subordinates, during the first attempt, you scouted talent like Zhuge Liang visiting Liu Bei three times, but during the second attempt, a single command brings a hundred responses, finding old colleagues and familiar faces. Everyone's temperament, character, and abilities are well known, following established procedures, using everyone to their fullest potential, reheating leftovers, it's like reliving your first love among old flames. Everyone is familiar with the routine, repeating old actions, lacking the joy, panic, tension, awkwardness, and unbearable lightness, as well as the heart-wrenching pain of the first entrepreneurial attempt. The second time, no one dares to criticize you, during the first attempt you heard enough ridicule, questioning, and cursing; during the second attempt, your fans surround you, whether right or wrong, everyone looks at you differently, giving you infinite tolerance. No one dares to correct your mistakes, let alone dare to scold you... The second time doesn't need luck, the first attempt was when you didn't know your place, when you were driven to a dead end and fought bloody battles to carve out a path, letting luck collide with you and succeed by chance; during the second attempt, you cherish your reputation like your eyes, won't make wrong turns or do wrong things, so there's no need to take detours, add unnecessary embellishments, achieve half results, or worry constantly... In short, success the second time is inevitable, no longer needing luck. Hehe, the second attempt is much easier, so there are no more earth-shattering myths... However, entrepreneurs are like Sisyphus, regardless of anything, no one or any force can stop us from attempting a second, third, Nth time... Though the second-time entrepreneurs all assume their prerequisite conditions will ensure "success again," heaven! How can success be guaranteed? If it could, I'd definitely go to the insurance company and insure all the world's second-time entrepreneurs, then post a missing person notice next to the "free condom box" in every public place: looking for second-time entrepreneurs. Not to mention my own experience of succeeding the first time and failing the second, I felt the second attempt was much easier. Hehe, my personal experience of narrowly succeeding the third time. A Fuzhou internet company, even spending half a day online trying to find data proving that the success rate of second attempts is much higher than the first, resulted in finding nothing. Only one research report was found saying that second-time entrepreneurs make 10% fewer stupid mistakes than first-timers. It's just that before registering a company for the second attempt, you think up a bunch of names beforehand, check them at the industry and commerce bureau, whichever one isn't registered is used, done in one trip; unlike the first time when a name was submitted and rejected once, then submitted again and rejected again, back and forth wasting who knows how much time.
