In today's era of rapid change, entrepreneurs face both challenges and opportunities. On the one hand, the rapid development of technology and the continuous change of market demand provide unprecedented opportunities for entrepreneurs; On the other hand, the fierce competition and market uncertainty also make the path of entrepreneurs full of unknowns and risks. In this context, a common view is that entrepreneurs should keep up with the dividends of the times and seize every opportunity that can bring rapid growth. But is this strategy always the best option?
We must recognize that "dividends" do not last forever, they are often phased and sometimes even short-lived. Technological innovation, policy support, market gaps, etc., may all bring dividends, but these factors change over time and environmental changes. Therefore, if entrepreneurs only chase short-term dividends, they may neglect long-term sustainable development and core competence building. After the dividends fade, it is difficult for companies to maintain an edge in the competition without a solid foundation and the ability to continue to innovate.
Starting a business after dividends may lead entrepreneurs to neglect their in-depth understanding of the market and the essential grasp of customer needs. Under the dividend, some entrepreneurs may focus too much on the speed of growth and ignore the quality of products and services. In this case, once the dividends are gone, the company may face a serious existential crisis. Therefore, while pursuing dividends, entrepreneurs should pay more attention to the intrinsic value of products and services, as well as the detailed observation and analysis of the market.
Relying too much on external dividends may make entrepreneurs lose the motivation to innovate independently. When the external environment provides a lot of convenience, entrepreneurs may become content with the status quo and are reluctant to take the necessary risks and experiments. However, the truly successful companies in history are often those that can continuously improve their competitiveness through innovation and optimization without dividends.
Of course, this is not to say that entrepreneurs should completely ignore dividends. Instead, dividends can be used as a resource and boost to help entrepreneurs grow quickly at an early stage. The key lies in how to balance the pursuit of dividends with long-term development. Entrepreneurs should continue to accumulate their own technical strength, management capabilities and market experience while enjoying dividends, and establish their core competitiveness.
In the process of chasing dividends, entrepreneurs should also keep a clear mind and objective judgment. Not all dividends are worth chasing, and some of the so-called "dividends" can be traps and even lead businesses in the wrong direction. Therefore, entrepreneurs need to have the ability to discern the authenticity and sustainability of dividends, as well as the wisdom to make the right decisions in a complex and volatile environment.
Entrepreneurs do need to pay attention to various dividends in the process of starting a business, but more importantly, they must have a clear strategic vision, combine their own advantages and the actual needs of the market, and make reasonable judgments and choices. Only in this way can entrepreneurs find their own positioning and achieve long-term development in the rapidly changing market.
