Chapter 56 Take a telescope and stand on a tall building, you can always see farther than others

How to succeed quickly, the most convenient way is to see what successful people do, and it is easier to achieve the goal by standing on the shoulders of giants. For many people, Tiananmen is a great symbol, sacred and solemn. Who would think of doing business on Tiananmen?A Wenzhou native did it, and his far-sighted vision once again brought them wealth. Once, when a Wenzhou native named Fan Mingqiang was touring Beijing with his wife and children, he suddenly wanted to contract the Tiananmen Gate Tower to open a "Marxist-Leninist Bookstore".He believes that with the advantages of geography and the theme of red, there is absolutely no problem with sales.Friends who learned of this idea laughed at him as "too crazy": Tiananmen Gate is a majestic and majestic place, so how can you open a shop? You just wait for the red light.

In 1999, it was the 50th anniversary of the founding of New China and the 100th anniversary of the introduction of Marxism into China. Fan Mingqiang felt that the time had come. He firmly knocked on the door of the Tiananmen Tower Management Office and applied for opening a store. The result was beyond his expectations. Among them, the management office not only agreed with his idea on the spot, but also made an exception to exempt the bookstore from renting.Fan Mingqiang thought what no one else thought, did what no one did, and finally opened the bookstore on the top of Tiananmen Gate.The red and yellow "national flag colors" are the main colors in the store, and the portraits of Marx, Lenin, Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and other great figures are hung on the high places, and the books sold are all classic works.

You must have a different vision when doing business, and you don’t have to go step by step. Sometimes, as long as you can stand a little higher than others, it may be easier to achieve your goals.Most people can't think of doing business on Tianmen, but if you do it, you will have a huge advantage, because Tiananmen is like a giant, holding you very high, and it is easier to attract more people to pay attention to you. Someone once said that there are two paths to success: the first is to rely entirely on yourself, through your own diligence and hard work, and work hard to achieve the set goal step by step; Hold the successful person's hand tightly, stand by the successful person's side, and move forward synchronously.

Wenzhou people were able to create such a miracle of wealth in just 20 years, it is obvious that they have taken the second road.As a Wen businessman said: "There are very few people who can quickly gain both fame and wealth by themselves; the jockey who really runs fast is not because his skills are much higher than others, but because of his riding ability." It's the best horse." Now, for those who want to start a business and make a lot of money, there are many resources available, and the biggest resource is to stand on the shoulders of successful people.As the saying goes: "Only when you stand tall can you see far. Only when you have a high starting point can your vision be wider, so that you can avoid detours in blind attempts and achieve the goal of quickly moving towards success."

In the commercial market, this is a shortcut, but also an important money-making strategy.Wenshangbao Jinhai is the agent of Hengyuanxiang Ordos in Jiangsu Province.He said, "I will not give up the opportunity to meet and communicate with some successful people. Through talking and contacting with them, I can directly copy their experience." Indeed, any successful person always has his success. Learning from successful experiences can shorten your struggle.As a businessman, if you don't communicate with others and don't know how to learn from others' advantages, success may pass you by.If you don't communicate with successful people, you may never know that there are such things. Only when you communicate can you learn slowly.

Standing on the shoulders of successful people is not simply following, copying what others say, what do you do when you see others do?Instead, we should learn from and innovate on the basis of reference, and turn the advantages of others into our own advantages.Only in this way can it be possible to keep up with the pace continuously and finally achieve surpassing. Standing on the shoulders of successful people, you have a higher starting point, so you can achieve your goals faster and more effectively.This seems to be a kind of "little cleverness", but in fact, it is a way of thinking to learn from successful people, learn successful thinking habits and behavior habits, constantly summarize and improve, and finally form your own thinking habits and behavior habits.

If you don’t understand, you must be good at learning. Wenzhou people can achieve success because they have the spirit of humbly seeking advice. Shao Lianqin, chairman of Shanghai Silly Clothing.When he first entered the clothing industry, he knew nothing about the clothing business. At that time, he realized that he needed to learn a lot, so he went from the market to the product, from investment to operation, and when he saw what others did well, he humbly asked for advice and used various method, to get close to others and learn from them. ◎Successful people can help you to be successful - close to successful people is to learn better, not to ask for anything from successful people.Others can only create some convenient conditions for you, but cannot do everything for you.If you want to succeed, no one can help you, only yourself.
