Chapter 39 Commercial Way 38 Make a move when it’s time to make a move

The Essence of Business: Warm businessmen believe that those who act vigorously and vigorously are often easy to succeed, while those who are indecisive and hesitant often end in failure.A song once wrote: "Shoot when it's time to make a move, rush to Kyushu." In Wenzhou, the people who can become billionaires are those who make decisive moves in business. Wen Shang knows in his heart that the key reason why many people are in poverty is that they lack the means to dare to make decisions. They always look left and right, think before and after, and miss the best time to acquire wealth.Those who dare to make major decisions when they see the looming shadow of wealth will have the opportunity to get rich.

"Sow actions and you reap habits, sow habits and you reap character, sow character and you reap destiny." Psychologist and philosopher William James said.What he means is - Habits make a person, you can choose your own habits, and you can also develop the habits you want. There is a proverb circulating among the Jews: In a person's life, there are three things that cannot be used too much, the yeast for making bread, salt and hesitation.Too much yeast will make the bread sour, too much salt will make the dishes salty, and too much hesitation will lose the opportunity to make money and become famous.The key to a businessman's business is to make money.When the opportunity comes, you must not hesitate and blindly calculate how much money you can make, but make decisions and make judgments.

A story well illustrates the power of taking action to seize opportunity. A man meets a fairy one night, and the fairy tells him that something great is going to happen to him, that he has a chance to get a lot of wealth, a prominent position in society, and a beautiful wife. The man waited all his life for this miracle to happen, but nothing happened. The man lived his life in poverty, and finally died of old age alone. When he went to the west heaven, he saw the fairy again, and he said to the fairy: "You said that I would get wealth, a high social status and a beautiful wife. I waited all my life, but I got nothing."

The fairy answered him, "I never said that, I only promised you opportunity and wealth, a respected social status and a beautiful wife, but you let that slip away from you." Confused, the man said, "I don't understand what you mean." The fairy replied: "Do you remember that once you thought of a good idea, but you didn't act on it because you were afraid of failure and didn't dare to try it." The man nodded. The fairy continued: "Because you didn't act on it, the idea was given to another person a few years later, and that person did it without any fear. You may remember that person, who later became the richest person in the country People. Also, you should remember that there was a major earthquake in the city, most of the houses in the city were destroyed, and thousands of people were trapped in the collapsed houses. You have the opportunity to help save those who survived, But you are afraid that thieves will come to your house to rob and steal things when you are not at home."

The man nodded sheepishly. The god said: "It's your chance to save hundreds of people, and that chance will bring you great honor in the city!" The fairy continued: "Do you remember that there was a beautiful woman with black hair who attracted you so strongly. You have never liked a woman so much, and you have never met a woman as good as her again? But she It is impossible to like you, let alone agree to marry you, because you are afraid of being rejected, so you let her slip away from you." The man nodded again, but this time he shed tears. The fairy said again: "My friend! It's her! She should have been your wife, and you will have several beautiful children. And with her, your life will be full of happiness."

What a rich and happy life this person who missed the opportunity because of looking forward and backward would have had such a rich and happy life.It's a pity that it's just because he waited for the opportunity, but backed down when it was time to make a move, so he can only live in poverty and loneliness all his life, which cannot but be regrettable. As the saying goes: "Opportunities should not be missed, and they will never come again." The poverty of many people is that when the opportunity is in front of him, he hesitates and hesitates, so that he misses the "opportunity" and makes the opportunity wasted.

"The Secret of the Rich Man in Babylon" tells the story of a merchant who bought livestock, mainly camels and horses, and occasionally sheep and goats. Once, he went out to buy camels, but after searching hard for ten days, he was still empty-handed.When he returned to the town very discouraged, the city gate was closed.He had no choice but to angrily ask his servants to set up a tent and prepare to spend the night outside the city.However, they have no water and only a small amount of dry food.At this time, a farmer came, and he was shut out of the city gate just like the merchant.

The farmer said to the merchant, "My lord! You can tell from your appearance that you must be a big buyer. If you are really a big buyer, I would be more than happy to take the sheep I have rounded up. Sell ​​it to you. Alas, my wife is sick, and I have to go back quickly. If you buy my sheep, I can go back with my servant.” Since it was completely dark at that time, but from the sheep It can be heard from the screams that this is a large herd of sheep.Since he had already wasted more than ten days of work, the businessman was very happy to make this deal.The farmer offered a fair price, and the merchant was willing to accept it, so the sale was made.The businessman is very happy, because he knows that as long as he transfers the sheep in his hand tomorrow, he can make a lot of money from it.

After the deal was concluded, the farmer said that there were 900 sheep in total, but the businessman didn't believe it.He asked his servants to light torches to count the sheep, but since there were so many sheep and the hungry and thirsty sheep were restless, it was not easy to count.Therefore, the merchant decided to wait until after dawn, count the number of sheep, and then pay.However, the farmer was anxious to go home to see his wife, and begged the merchant to pay half of the money immediately, and then the farmer left a servant to help the merchant count the sheep tomorrow.The merchant then pays off all outstanding debts.However, the merchant was very stubborn and refused to pay half of the money first.So, the business fell through.

Early the next morning, the city gates opened.There are several buyers who buy flocks, and they buy all the sheep from the farmer.Because there was a famine in the city in the past few days, the food was almost gone, so they bought the sheep at a high price. The original buyer regretted it too much, and the fat that he originally got flew away. Opportunities are actually around you, it depends on whether you will discover and create them.Every door of opportunity has a key to open it, but this key is not elsewhere, but in everyone's heart.Opportunities seem out of reach, but they are close at hand with a change of perspective!Find a way to do one thing well and get people to look at it before you get your first chance.If you create one or even a few admirable things through your actions, you will be valued by others, and you will win the first opportunity.After that, opportunities will bring opportunities, and success will continue to create success!

Everyone is surrounded by opportunities.But opportunities are only there if they are seen, and opportunities are only seen if they are sought.Those who are determined to find a way for themselves will always find an opportunity; and if they cannot find an opportunity, they will create it. People in Wenzhou often tell their children that chance is closely related to their future. Chance is a beautiful and eccentric angel. She comes to you occasionally. Sigh, but she never heard from her again and never returned. Therefore, in the process of everyone's growth, every day must be prepared for the opportunities that may come at any time, and every day must keep repeating to yourself: "Today, I want to compete with others; today, I want to compete with others." Compete by yourself; today, I want to learn more; today, I want to break yesterday's record..." Make a move when it's time to make a move, and it also shows that when the business goes downhill, you need to make timely adjustment decisions.Knowing that the trend has turned, but doing nothing because of hesitation, passive resistance to the status quo will only bring greater losses.When you face a problem and don't think about solving it, but avoid it passively, then your problem will definitely become bigger and bigger.In Wenzhou, there is a saying of experience: "If you should go or not, you will be constrained; if you should stop, you will be chaotic." Of course, what we mean by taking action when it's time to do so is not talking about the kind of reckless and foolish courage, but a kind of decisiveness integrated with wisdom.At a critical juncture, if you look left and right, look forward and backward, and still engage in meaningless ideological struggles after careful consideration, then this is no longer a performance of prudence, but a lack of decisiveness, indecision, and sails in the wind.Maybe in this untimely "caution", an opportunity that can change your destiny is passing in front of you; on the contrary, if you are decisive, seize the opportunity, and make a decision immediately, then your life may be different!In today's era full of challenges and opportunities all the time, it will benefit you to observe the situation around you with a keen and sharp eye, and to be able to attack decisively at critical moments and seize fleeting opportunities lifelong. Indecision is harmful when quick decisions are called for.This approach not only exposes the weakness of a person's will, but the direct harm it causes is often irreparable.In the hesitation, many undue ideological shackles were added; in the hesitation, good opportunities were missed.So, refuse to be indecisive, and act when it is time to act.
