Recently, business tycoon Feng Lun posted a video, which sparked heated discussions among netizens.
Feng Lun said that ordinary people have wasted too much time on these three things: first, to make a living, ordinary people will spend a lot of time in order to make a living, for example: crowding the bus, it takes three or four hours a day to commute to work; second, human favors, how many friends do people need right? We spend too much time on human relations; and third, unnecessary right and wrong, a sudden lawsuit may cost you months or even years. How can we reduce right and wrong? It's better to be debt-free and role-free. As long as we spend less time earning a living, less unnecessary socializing, and less time taking up right and wrong, then you will have more time to focus on what you want to do, and the probability of success will be higher.
Personally, I very much agree with Feng Lun's point of view, I have stepped on all these pitfalls he said. However, there are still many people in the comment area who can't understand it, and even think that Feng Lun is a bit high-minded, because ordinary people don't spend time on making a living, and they may not even be able to survive. Therefore, some people criticized Feng Lun for this as a reproduction of "why not eat minced meat".
I understand netizens' doubts about Feng Lun, because most people are still in the stage of making a living. It seems that we have no other way but to spend our time making a living. On the other hand, Feng Lun has long achieved financial freedom, so he can give such a detached advice. Some people even say, what do I save time for?
If you really want to change your current situation, then I will take advantage of Feng Lun's suggestion to tell my personal story, I hope it can inspire you.
I started working at the age of 14, and by today's standards, I was still a child laborer. The first time I went out to work, I came with people from the same village, but because of my age, no one dared to accept me, so I had to sleep in the park.
Fortunately, a few days later, a bathhouse took me in and made me a waiter at the bathhouse, with a salary of 300 yuan a month. I cherish this job and am also very frugal, and in order to save 5 cents on food, I will walk for 15 minutes. In order to earn an extra 5 yuan a day, I can work 3 hours of overtime. When I came home every day, I was really exhausted and fell asleep in bed.
Obviously, all of my actions are just to make a living. At that time, big brother became popular, and a big brother needed more than 10,000 yuan, and the monthly phone bill was also one or two hundred. My boss bought one at that time and looked very spirited.
At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I also wanted to have my own big brother, but the price of big brother was too expensive, and I could only buy one after 3 years without eating or drinking. Even if I buy Big Brother, I can't afford it, because my monthly phone bill costs me half a month's salary.
It was also at this time that I decided not to spend more time on making a living, because even if you don't rest 24 hours a day, the amount of money you can earn in a lifetime can be calculated.
Therefore, I will never choose to work overtime in order to make more money. Even the cleaning arranged by the company will ask my colleague to help for me, I only need to treat him to a meal.
I used the time I saved to invite the leader to dinner and let him teach him the secret of making more money. Thanks to the generous sharing of my leaders, I have more skills in communicating with customers, and I can get the most commissions every month. When my colleagues were still earning 300 yuan in salary, I was already able to earn 1,000 yuan a month.
Although the income is a lot higher, it is still far from buying Big Brother, after all, it is very unwise to buy Big Brother with the money earned from a year's part-time job. I need to have a more profitable way to buy Big Brother sooner rather than later.
So I started to take apprentices, and I can get a commission on the money earned by the apprentices. As my income increased, I started a contract bath. After successfully contracting the first bath, I contracted the second and third baths, and my monthly income easily broke through the 10,000 yuan mark, and I also rewarded myself with a big brother at this time.
After having Big Brother, new troubles will come again, and many bosses will come to play with you. If you don't play with them, then they may never come to your bath again. I'm bound to human affection again, and I spend a lot of time every year moving around with human affection.
For a while, I drank with them until two or three in the morning, and when I vomited, I saw blood. At this time, I also realized that the rhythm of life was seriously wrong, and if it continued like this, it might be dragged down by human relationship problems.
I brought my family to Changzhou to start a business, changed to a new environment, had a lot less entertainment, and no longer had to worry about human feelings. Now I have plenty of time to learn and think every day, which is an important reason why I can help many companies successfully raise funds and develop top-level strategies.
It is precisely because I have experienced these things in my personal life that I think Feng Lun's advice is very reliable.
If we don't know what to do with the time now, how to make money? Then we will use the time saved every day to read books, and then share them through short videos, and persist for a year, I believe you will find your own new way to make money. If you already know how you want to make money, you should reduce the time you waste on these three things!
This is the best era, but also the worst era, with capital thinking and new business model integration, the whole world is your stage!
In the world of new business, there is no eliminated industry, only the subverted out of the enterprise, and now all business competition will focus on "model innovation and capital operation".
A company or a boss, if there is a shortage of innovation ability and capital thinking, is destined to lose in advance.
Remember: without innovation, how can there be imagination, without imagination, how can there be competitiveness, if you want to break through, you must subvert the original business model, reconstruct a new business model!
