In the new year, try to become a producer from a consumer.
Ask a question, how many people have entered the temple to burn incense this Spring Festival?I'm sure anyone who has been there will feel some sense of the excitement at the temple this year.
Two days ago, I saw a piece of news "In 2024, young people will continue to choose incense between motivation and work". For going to the temple to burn incense, you say that this is emotional consumption or self-healing, and the lowest motivation is nothing more than to ask for some good luck for yourself.
So how do you catch this good luck?One piece of advice I would suggest is to make yourself a producer from a consumer.
Producers can create greater value through products or services, and obtain more benefits through continuous interaction with the outside world. It's like they're weaving a net so that good luck can have a foothold.
Consumers, on the other hand, not only consume money, but also valuable time and energy. If you don't spend it on the things you like, time passes, and you're still empty-handed.
I think you also have bloggers who you like, and you may sometimes feel that they can do what they do themselves, or even do better than them. But before you know it, they have accumulated a lot of fans, and you are just a spectator.
The difference is that they are constantly producing content, and you are just consuming. To put it more bluntly, one is accumulating, and the other is consuming. As time accumulates, the gap grows.
So how do you become a producer?
Cultivating a producer mindset
In the past, our role was that of consumers, focusing on satisfying our own needs and allocating our resources based on our preferences and interests.
As a producer, you need to think about how to create value, how to meet the needs of others, and bring tangible benefits to others and society.
Why do many entrepreneurial mentors advise young people not to work for a long time, because the ability accumulated by part-time work is too limited.
Due to task segmentation and standardized management, more and more positions tend to be screwed. If you stay in a company or a position for too long, your vision will gradually narrow and your ability will solidify. When encountering changes in the external environment or enterprise transformation, it will be very vulnerable.
And from the producer's point of view, you have to keep your eyes on the market, and you will have the overall situation in your heart. You will plan for your long-term goals, consider what the market needs, how to improve the product, and how to better serve users, which are more valuable considerations.
Master production skills
Since you are a producer, it is not enough to just think, you have to be a pragmatic doer and master production skills.
Production here means being proactive, driven from the heart, using the skills you are good at to produce in the way that others need.
In the past 2023, dozens of new professions have become popular, such as doll doctors, aromatherapy therapists, game face pinchers, forest healers, and so on.
In fact, the new profession is like a clue, follow it all the way to find, and we will have these three discoveries:
1. New problems. Most of the new careers are new challenges from the real world. And when that challenge becomes common, becomes worth solving, and the solution is worth paying for, new careers emerge.
2. New tools. New challenges arise when new challenges are solved. For example, even if you don't have a new career, these new tools may be able to help you do what you are doing.
3. New relationships. Have you noticed that a new profession is often accompanied by a new relationship between people? For example, home inspectors, game companions, forest healers. While providing services, they are also defining new types of relationships.
The new profession is like a magnifying glass through which you can discover a picture of future trends made up of new challenges, new tools, and new relationships.
The production skills you need to master should be in line with the intersection of future trends and what you are good at, and when this skill is worth paying for, you will become a real producer.
Write at the end
Throwing products and services on the market to test yourself is the most direct and fastest way to receive real feedback.
In the beginning, what you make can not be good enough, and the feedback is not good, and that's okay. The first version of all products is garbage, but it grows into what the market needs it to be by constantly tweaking and iterating.
Sometimes, the most valuable qualities of a producer are bravery and optimism in the face of the market.
