Entrepreneurs who only know how to press calculators usually end up working for others in the end.

One person earns 10 yuan, selling to 1 million people earns 10 million yuan.
After the calculations, it feels great, but once you start, you realize the problems can bury you.
Selling instant noodles at a stall for 20,000 yuan a month—how many people believe that?
Wholesaling near-expiry noodles for 1 yuan, frozen beef for 10 yuan, selling a bowl for 18 yuan.
100 bowls a day, 60,000 yuan a month.
Who can't do this math? Pressing a calculator makes everyone a boss.
But once you actually do it, you realize the pitfalls can choke you.
Stall fee.
For anything selling food, night market stall fees are the most expensive, with the highest deposits.
If customers find issues with the food, the deposit is fully deducted.
Earning 20,000 yuan a month, the stall fee first deducts 8,000 yuan.
Physical effort.
Selling 100 bowls a day, boiling one bowl every 5 minutes, takes 500 minutes.
Peak hours are only two hours.
Unless you have 4 pots cooking simultaneously, you'll be exhausted and still can't finish.
Weather issues.
Wind and rain make it impossible to set up a stall.
Four months a year, you have to cut out because you can't work.
Prepared semi-finished products during the day, then a sudden thunderstorm before setting up, making it almost impossible to use the next day.
Competition.
Even if you find a good location without stall fees and high foot traffic.
Within less than a month, pancake and sausage vendors will all be there.
Someone selling the same thing across the street—if you sell for 18 yuan and they sell for 10 yuan, what do you do?
Ice cream shop downstairs closed before discounting, fruit shop prices are higher than Hema.
Who doesn't die in this kind of store?
Without a competitive advantage, opening a shop on a whim.
This isn't entrepreneurship; it's just money out.
Many people make the biggest mistake in entrepreneurship by mistaking ideals for reality.
Thinking that finding a good product will make you popular.
Thinking that as long as you work hard, you can make money.
Thinking that if others succeed, you can too.
No one tells you that those who succeed either catch the right trend, have resources, or are just cutting your tuition fees.
Remember a few survival tips.
First, don't believe online stories of making several thousand yuan a month from entrepreneurship.
Real money-making ventures are not loudly advertised.
Those shouting are just trying to get you to pay for franchise fees.
Second, don't quit your job yet, don't invest money yet.
Work in that industry for three months to understand all the pitfalls before starting.
You can pay tuition, but don't pay too much.
Third, verify with minimal costs.
Want to set up a stall? Borrow a car and try for three days.
Want to open a shop? Sell in your social circle for a month.
If no one buys, stop early.
Finally, a harsh truth.
If you've never gone hungry, you don't know how ruthless dogs can be.
Entrepreneurship isn't calculated; it's endured.
No matter how skilled you are with a calculator, the market doesn't recognize it.
After rolling in the mud a few times, you'll know which path to take.
Don't rush to be the boss.
First, learn how not to die.
