I am Xiaofan Daodao, a programmer who has been engaged in Internet development for more than 10 years. In 2023, I was forced to start my own business. Compared to the profession of code farmer, I am considered a veteran, and for entrepreneurs, I am a beginner.
This month, I have pushed down many projects without any special reasons, just because I don't want to make the business scope too complicated. The most difficult point in the IT industry is not technology or qualifications, but business. Being too complex in a business field can be very brain wracking.
Since focusing on e-commerce, it has been effective, but unfortunately, its growth potential is still insufficient. This is mainly reflected in the development of new customers. Many people think that developing a small program is very simple, but this is just an illusion caused by the proliferation of templates. In fact, the so-called cheapness only takes advantage of the software's unlimited distribution feature.
Although software can dilute costs through unlimited distribution, it also requires continuous product iteration through actual operation:
1. Fix historical bugs
2. Develop new features to adapt to market changes
This requires a significant time cost.
Since rejecting many messy fields, the performance has declined. I originally wanted to expand my channels through more ways, but unexpectedly, the traffic has been very poor. It can be said that I am willing to plant flowers but cannot bloom
Although there have been fluctuations in the short term, I still believe that there is hope for the future, and I will persist in waiting only for a better future for you.
In the past two years, I have seen many senior coders grow into industry leaders through hard work and opportunities. I am envious and self blaming. Why can others succeed but not me? This issue is reflected upon year after year and reviewed month after month, just like an e-commerce giant reflecting on its failures year after year.
As a junior entrepreneur, I know that you can definitely cross the river by feeling the stones, but as for how to do it, it can only be: cats have cat paths, mice have mouse paths; The Eight Immortals display their divine powers when crossing the sea.
I recently came across a sentence that left a deep impression on me: 'To be your own agent, learn to sell yourself first.'. Since leaving the workplace to start my own business, I have always wanted to achieve a transition from a code farmer to a brand IP by creating an IP. So far, I can only say that I have some insights:
The core of entrepreneurial success: reliability and trustworthiness
Success belongs to you, me, and him who are diligent. Diligence is the key to more possibilities.
