There are many successful entrepreneurs, but there should be more failures.

From 2000 to 2005, I worked abroad and got less than 654.38+0 million. After buying a house and a car in China, I rented a canteen in a university. Because we didn't estimate the cost, we finally made ends meet. Don't underestimate everything in the kitchen, it's fatal! ! ! I sold about 40-50 thousand in January, but I didn't expect it to be enough, so I had to make money in it. . . .

Now think calmly, because you have too little experience to communicate with your friends. Friends in the group, have you also made mistakes and misjudgments in the early stage of your business?

Now that we have been through so many ups and downs, do you think it will change if someone reminds me and guides me? . . . . . . . .

Netizens and friends, take out the cases of everyone's failure, whether it is your experience, management or joining mistakes. . . . . . . . . . .

In order to keep the next "you" alive!

Two real investment failure cases of netizens

1. A buddy invested in a coal-pulling heavy vehicle in a coal mine. The new car needs to invest 256 thousand yuan, and the unlicensed black car only needs 70 thousand yuan. I bought this 70 thousand black car, and the repair cost alone will be more than 30 thousand. It takes almost ten days to make major repairs every month, and no investment has been made for half a year. According to the original idea, the income can range from 3000 to 5000 yuan. Therefore, all the money will be used to pay the driver's salary and repair costs.

2. Another buddy invested 320,000 tourist buses. Before buying a car, he agreed to let his cousin drive. This guy has a good job and doesn't want to get off. He just wants his cousin to drive himself to collect money. As a result, in the tourist season, his cousin temporarily raised the price and demanded higher wages, so he had to hire another driver. Besides, it hardly matters in tourism. Someone else had a task 1. 1 10,000, so he had to sell the car and lost 40,000 before and after.

Don't give up, don't give up

Another group of friends told the story of entrepreneurial failure.

Things are like hemp, interlacing is like a mountain, problems are like moving mountains, and entrepreneurship is blocked.

LAM Raymond has never started a business. Although he was psychologically prepared for starting a business before, he didn't realize the difficulty of starting a business until he really started a business. I didn't expect so many troubles and trifles to be handled by myself, and I had to run by myself inside and outside. Although I have recruited many people, including all my old employees, there are too many things, which are too complicated. All government offices, such as industry and commerce, taxation, labor protection, health, environmental protection, city appearance, streets and fire protection, have to deal with them. Enterprises are in a mess, including R&D, design, production and management. Warehouse management, administrative affairs, salary management, employee conflicts, etc. Various contradictions are intertwined and complicated. LAM Raymond, who claims to be well managed, is also struggling in the start-up company. Even with superhuman powers, it is difficult to deal with. The set in the textbook doesn't work, and even the style of Y company doesn't work at all.

After the Spring Festival, the employees were basically in place, and when everyone started to work, it was already the end of February and the beginning of March. LAM Raymond and others strengthened public relations measures, ran product patents and applied for product batch numbers. These batches had qualified production procedures in July 2004. During this period, some newly recruited employees left the company. LAM Raymond, who thinks he can manage his family and people well, is deeply saddened by the resignation of many employees, even leaving without saying goodbye. Even his former employees have some ideas, which makes LAM Raymond sad. Fortunately, those investors don't have any big opinions, because they don't participate in the operation and management of enterprises, so most of them are encouragement and support.

New products are introduced, and new problems follow.

By the time the first batch of 300 products were produced, it was already September 2004. LAM Raymond held a grand new product launch conference, hoping to boost morale internally and build momentum externally, which is conducive to market promotion. But the effect is very limited, and there is almost no media tracking support. There happened to be many friends and media to hold a solo show that day. The subsequent market sales were not smooth, because it was a new product, and many customers did not recognize it at all. The friend who is familiar with the restaurant was originally recommended by the outside world, but many of his friends are also reluctant to politely refuse, saying at most that they can stay and try it for free. Due to poor sales, sluggish sales staff and unstable team, the commission of the first batch of products was increased, and the sales commission of products was increased two or three times in a row. The income left by the company was not enough for the manufacturing cost of the products, so the whole company lost money to make money, but in order to open the market, it had to sell at a loss first, and finally sold a batch of products 10, * * 12 in late June. Ram Raymond himself came out for an interview. It's a barbecue restaurant with new investment and entrepreneurial spirit. Because of its low price, the other party accepted it. However, due to the shortage of funds, the other party paid 60% of the money first, and the rest will be paid after the opening. 165438+1October 8th, on the opening day of this barbecue shop, LAM Raymond, the sales manager and general manager, was invited to have a taste together. However, the sales manager received a complaint from the owner of the barbecue shop the next day, listing four major problems with the barbecue machine. Diners complain a lot, which affects business. LAM Raymond quickly sent someone to the site for inspection. Some mechanical failures can be repaired, but some are simply design problems that cannot be repaired, which really brings inconvenience to diners. Although after several apologies, the other barbecue restaurant still refused to forgive, and the final balance was not settled. Things in this barbecue shop have calmed down, but whether more than 200 sets in the warehouse will continue to be sold, LAM Raymond is still hesitant, and of course the design improvement of new products continues.

Cash flow is tight for the first time, which hinders the normal production of enterprises.

Not long after the new product was designed, the prototype was also completed, but new problems appeared. When encountering financial problems, the original raised 3 million yuan was basically used up at this time, and the reserved reserve fund of 300,000 yuan was also used up. The credit for the first batch of raw steel plates has not been paid back. The sales boss of the steel distribution company is a friend of LAM Raymond. LAM Raymond wanted to ask him for help to get another batch of credit, but by the end of the year, the company stepped up the dunning, but the sales boss of the steel company came to ask for money. Ram Raymond talked about the current situation. LAM Raymond wanted to ask for it, but he was embarrassed. Even if he wants it, it is impossible to give him credit again, because the first batch has passed the initial repayment period and has violated the promise to friends. LAM Raymond is very sad about breaking his promise to his friends, because he despises people who break their promises, especially those bosses who say they broke their promises in the past.

The tight cash flow has triggered a series of internal and external troubles.

The shortage of funds has caused a series of problems. First, employees' salaries could not be paid, and LAM Raymond began to default on employees' salaries. Not only that, but the promised communication subsidies and transportation subsidies for sales staff could not be fulfilled. Not only do sales representatives not get paid, but they also post their own transportation and communication expenses, even including the cost of inviting customers to dinner. Some clever salespeople began to take time off from work, and the sales manager did a lot of work to no avail. However, sales managers also face the situation of not getting paid and not reporting expenses. People in other positions are also facing the problem of not getting paid.

The problem goes far beyond these. According to the agreement, it is necessary to pay the rent for the first half of 2005, which is not a small sum, about10.6 million, as well as the fees that various administrative departments must pay, such as utilities. Near the end of the year, some relationships between bank management departments need to be managed and expenses need to be paid. The more this time, the more management problems within the enterprise, and almost all the rules and regulations are invalid. LAM Raymond is like a cat on hot bricks. Insomnia is common.

The sale of the company failed and the company had to go bankrupt.

In the case of hopeless financing, he contacted several shareholders by phone to discuss selling the company altogether, but he disagreed on the price issue. Some say they should sell at least 5 million yuan, some hope to recover the money invested, and some advocate that they can recover part of it. LAM Raymond's opinion is to take back part of it, such as 2 million yuan, and use it for other things, such as being a product distribution agent. However, it is not so easy to sell it.

At first, some people intended to accept RMB 6,543,800+0.5 million in full, without taking on debts, but several shareholders failed to reach an agreement after several discussions. A week later, the buyer quit. After two weeks, several shareholders knew that it was not so easy to sell. Faced with the new debts that were constantly generated, they simply entrusted LAM Raymond with full authority and sold as much as they wanted. However, when I really made up my mind to deal with it, I ran into a problem and couldn't find a buyer. It is sold in a circle of friends and online, and some people have inquired about it, but the price is very low, such as 200,000,65438+10,000. After a real conversation, they all changed their minds. Finally, LAM Raymond called several shareholders and held a farewell party. We decided to bankrupt the company, stop participating in the annual inspection, and let LAM Raymond handle it at will. We won't split the money. Let's deal with it as much as possible.

Finally, LAM Raymond called the office staff of the financial staff and two warehouse keepers together for a meeting, and decided to dissolve the company, let the financial department handle the accounts, and let others contact the collected office supplies and more than 200 barbecue machines in the warehouse. Finally, they handled about 20,000 yuan, cleaned up the utilities and daily office expenses, and gave some money to the last few employees. Everyone had a dinner to say goodbye.
