It is difficult for people who have started their own businesses to go back to work.

It is difficult for people who have started their own businesses to go back to work.

First of all, give a definition of entrepreneurship.

I must have heard someone say that the word entrepreneurship sucks! People in the streets are pushing business, college students are opening a tea shop to start a business, and someone on the subway asks you to scan the code and say that you are starting a business.

The definition of entrepreneurship is very vague, and many people don't know what entrepreneurship is.

Starting a company is also a business, and selling breakfast is also a business. What is the difference?

I suggest you'd better remember this definition: what doesn't use leverage is not starting a business, but doing business at most.

Second, going to work is negative leverage.

In the scene of going to work, your cost is time and energy, and your income is salary. Your income is often lower than the value you create, and only the business owner can get the surplus value.

In addition, it is difficult to work in China without overtime, so you are basically negative leverage, because the income/value is likely to be less than 1. Even if you get high performance, create high value and get some commission, it will only make the shareholders of the enterprise earn more, and you only get a small part of it.

Of course, non-shareholder executives or white-collar workers may also use the leverage of grassroots employees, so the income value is relatively high.

The most terrible thing is that once you stop working, you will soon lose your income, because you rely entirely on your labor to get your salary. Your years of hard work have accumulated nothing but a meager salary.

Third, the three main levers

1: human leverage

That is, using other people's time to earn money. The most common employment relationship is full-time/part-time, that is, starting a company to hire people to work. You are a shareholder or a boss, and you gain leverage of 1: 10000 times or more of your own labor through human resources.

2. Asset leverage

Using your own money or assets to make money, the risk of leverage return is low, and the return is relatively low, but depending on the quantity and quality of your assets, when you have a large number of assets, you can get very high returns. This is also the easiest lever for ordinary entrepreneurs to use.

3. Time lever (valuation lever)

Create a promising company, and use the sale of shares to cash in to obtain excess income. This is also the most easily overlooked form of leverage by ordinary entrepreneurs, but it is also the ultimate goal of many successful entrepreneurs.

Fourth, why is it difficult to return to the company once you start a business?

If you know that you have the ability, opportunity and conditions to use leverage, why not use it?

People who go back to work often temporarily or permanently lose the ability and conditions to use leverage.

For example, having debts, no management ability, no financing ability, no resources, no reliable contacts and no suitable opportunities are all manifestations of losing leverage. It is a reasonable decision not to go back to work.

It's hard to accept 300 a day after 3000 a day.

People who have tried to start a business, even if it fails, are just a joke to them, and it is often difficult for them to accept a job again.

The most important difference between starting a business and going to work is whether you use leverage, and people who know the power of leverage find it most difficult to accept losing leverage.

As the protagonist in "The Rich Began to Turn" said:

Every extra minute in business is equivalent to one minute less in business.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, going to work is the most risky game.
