2. Jack Ma broke out a new classic saying: Is now the best time to start a business?:

At the National Youth Entrepreneurs Summit held in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province on September 25 On the Internet, Jack Ma said: Now is the best time to start a business! Today's so-called successful companies were not made today. They were all judged about the future 20 or 30 years ago and determined today. Jack Ma’s explanation is that today’s large number of companies and industries are still very traditional, and this is where the opportunities lie.

3. Is now the best time to start a business?

1. It was easiest to start a business around 2000:

So is Jack Ma’s popular saying that now is the best time to start a business? Is it credible? Is now the best time to start a business? As we all know, most of the well-known enterprises and famous companies we see and know now, such as the top 500 Chinese enterprises and the Chinese companies in the world's top 500, were founded around 2000. For example, Alibaba, founded by Jack Ma, was founded on September 9, 1999. It can be said that around 2000 was the best period for entrepreneurship, especially the ten years from 1995 to 2005, which can be called the golden period for entrepreneurship.

It was very easy and simple to start a business around 2000, and it was far less complicated than it is now. It is easy to make money and start a successful business by setting up a small stall for sales, running a business for promotion, and selling Guangdong products all over the country. Moreover, the market competition at that time was far less fierce, and the market was far less saturated than it is now. As long as you dared to start a business, success was actually not far away from you. Presumably today's middle-aged people must be very clear about the market environment, entrepreneurial environment and social environment at that time.

2. Now that the market is saturated, it is already difficult to start a business:

But today, in 2020, starting a business is far from as simple and easy as it was around 2020. Now almost all industries and industries are close to saturation, or are already saturated. Some industries and industries even have overcapacity and serious backlog of goods, such as the real estate industry. Compared with the vast market around 2000, the current market in 2020 is almost saturated. The shops in the city are winding like a dragon and the shops are filled with a dazzling array of products. No matter which city it is, many shops are opened every day, and at the same time, many shops are closed and transferred.

3. What Jack Ma said: Now is the best time to start a business? is actually the transformation of traditional industries into the Internet industry:

The reason why Jack Ma said: Now is the best time to start a business? Timing? In fact, it is aimed at the Internet industry and e-commerce industry in which he is engaged. Jack Ma also said, "A large number of companies and a large number of industries today are still very traditional." So what he actually meant, "Now is the best time to start a business," is the transformation and transformation of traditional industries to the Internet and e-commerce. mean.

4. The transformation of traditional industries into the Internet industry is also full of difficulties:

It is true that there are still many traditional industries in China, and it is also true that the current Internet industry and e-commerce industry It is very popular and profitable, such as Alibaba founded by Jack Ma! However, the transformation from traditional industries to the Internet industry and e-commerce industry is not easy! You can't change just by wanting to change, nor can you succeed just by changing.

In fact, in recent years, many traditional enterprises and industries have failed to transform into the Internet industry and e-commerce industry, and only a few have succeeded.

When traditional industries transform into the Internet industry and e-commerce industry, they first need technology and technical personnel, and what traditional enterprises and industries lack are precisely technology and technical personnel; the second is experience, which includes the Internet. Industry and e-commerce industry experience, if you change careers rashly, the probability of failure is extremely high; again, it is a change of thinking. I am engaged in traditional enterprises and traditional industries, and I can do well and make money, so why should I change? Or even changing careers? What if it fails? Isn’t it good for me to make money by working honestly in a traditional enterprise or industry?

Concluding remarks:

So Jack Ma’s suggestion that now is the best time to start a business is not untrustworthy or wrong. But it is not very applicable to us ordinary people, nor is it suitable to our traditional industries. After all, we do not have the strength and confidence of Jack Ma. However, I am still the most convinced of Jack Ma!
