If you can't endure the hardships of being a boss, don't dream of being one (this has been widely shared by countless bosses)!

Every boss has a "blood and tears account." In fact, many bosses spend less lavishly than their employees in daily life, and are even called "stingy" and "calculating everything." In reality, bosses live between costs and profits all the time, so they naturally calculate every expense carefully. Running a business requires careful planning, and being a boss is like being your own long-term employee. Regardless of whether the business is good or bad, or whether the income is high or low, you have to bear the burden.


As a business owner, once you start a business, there's no turning back. No one will sympathize with you or be lenient with you just because your business is bad. You have to pay the taxes you owe, pay the wages you owe, and pay the rent, utilities, office expenses, etc. You can't skimp on any of them. To put it bluntly, everyone is trying to make a living in this market, and everyone has their own problems. You have to think about yourself first. It's like playing mahjong. When you discard a tile that lets someone else win, no one will pity you. But when it's your turn to win, you won't be soft-hearted either.

 

In harsh environments, the strongest human instinct is survival; in fierce competition, the only choice for a business owner is to make a profit.

 

In business, there's only one way out-make money!

As the business owner, the company is yours. As long as it's open, you can't stop scrambling to make ends meet. Even if you have money today, no one can guarantee you'll always have it. Therefore, even if a business owner is making money, they still feel a sense of crisis. If they're not making money, they're even more restless and anxious. As for those who are losing money, how can outsiders possibly understand the excruciating anxiety they feel?

If you're working for someone else, as long as you're capable, you can find a job anywhere. If you're doing well, keep working; if not, just quit and get fired. As for what kind of mess you leave behind, that's your boss's business.

 

The loyalty and sense of responsibility of a boss and an employee towards a company can never be compared. A company's profits come from strict management, and the key to strict management is having a conscientious and hardworking boss-if you yourself like to sleep in, don't expect your employees to be on time.

Not only do you have to be the first to endure hardship, but you also have to do the business yourself. The biggest taboo in business is buying a cat through a bag or a cow through a mountain. This word "through" is the root of the problem. Anything you can't personally understand or control will eventually go wrong.

The lives of business owners aren't as glamorous as people imagine. People see them driving luxury cars and frequenting hotels and restaurants, and assume they live a carefree life. But the truth is, since they can survive and thrive in fierce market competition, most are highly motivated, hardworking, and many are even workaholics. Where would they find the time for a life of luxury? They do frequent nightclubs more often than the average person, but this is mostly for social obligations, far removed from a truly carefree existence.

 

Be nicer to your boss:

When a boss builds his own business, it's like building a dock. As the saying goes, as long as there's a dock, there will always be ships coming to dock. No matter how big the ship, it will always be adrift; no matter how small the dock, it will always be secure.

 

A cormorant caught a fish in the river. The fish said, "If you're hungry, I'd rather you eat me. But you've worked so hard all day, and you only get to eat a small portion; your owner takes most of it. And your owner even strangled you with wire while you were catching fish, afraid you'd eat them-how cruel!" The cormorant, unmoved, replied, "I won't fall for your tricks! Although I catch many fish now and eat very little, in winter, when the rivers freeze over and I can't catch any fish, my owner will still feed me, so I won't starve!"

 

Lesson 1: Employee loyalty is cultivated by the company over a long period of time;

 

Lesson Two: When employees see their boss making money, they shouldn't just think about sharing it, because they won't share the burden when the boss loses money either.

 

Lesson Three: When changing jobs, be grateful to the company, because it has certainly helped you in different ways and to different degrees.

 

Eighty percent of business owners suffer from gastritis, nervous tension, insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Business owners risk their lives for their businesses.

 

So be nice to your boss.

 

The boss is like a tree, and the employees are like its branches. No matter how fierce the competition, how tough the market, or how tight the finances, through storms and rain, the bosses stand firm, taking care of the entire family under their tree. Whether the tree is big or small, it always provides shelter from the wind and rain. Whether the tree is good or bad, there's always a place to rest.

 

If we're talking about responsibility, whose responsibility is the heaviest and greatest? Behind the glamour lies a world of intrigue and power, and behind power lies the entire fortune of investors.
