What are the stages of starting a business? When is the most difficult period?

The first stage of survival is to occupy the market with products and technologies. As long as you have ideas, you can engage in relationships (sales). The second stage, corporatization, is to standardize management and increase enterprise benefits, which requires entrepreneurs to upgrade their thinking from concept to thinking, while the original relationship is transformed into channel construction, the company's sales are completed by channels, and the team is initially formed. The third stage is collectivization. At this time, relying on hard power (the core competitiveness of industrialization), the whole group and its subsidiaries form a system platform, relying on a team to complete management through the system platform, (human governance becomes corporate governance), sales becomes marketing, and regional channels become regional networks. So as to form a system. Thinking from plane to three dimensions. At this time, you can retire, and entrepreneurs will have a cash flow system (money-making machine) to work for you 24 hours. This is the ideal state that many entrepreneurs dream of achieving. The fourth stage, this is the highest realm of entrepreneurs. In the stage of group headquarters, it is borderless operation, which is also commonly known as multinational companies. The system platform of the group headquarters and the operating systems of each sub-group form a system. The group headquarters relies on a borderless core competitiveness (soft power) that can cross the industry boundaries, and the sub-groups form the industry core competitiveness (hard power), which will enable all walks of life of the group to reach the performance level and speed that can not be achieved in the case of single-player combat. Thinking has changed from three-dimensional to multi-dimensional, which is the highest level that enterprises can pursue and achieve.
