是不是每个三十多岁的外贸人都有一颗不安现状的心?总是想挑战一下自己的极限或者是拓宽一下自己未知的领域?
最近遇到一个经常去各个国家参加展会来获取客户的外贸人,他的第一话题不是自己去展会的效果如何,也不是说自己现在做的品怎么样?而是咨询有没有做平台做的比较好的人?
最好是会运营平台的平台总监之类的人,如果只是操作过平台子账户的人大概是不行的,我好奇的问:难道展会效果不好?对方说不是不好, 只是觉得应该在多领域,多方式去探索一下。
然后说他看到他的一个朋友在做付费的B2B平台,每段时间都会在平台上烧一段钱,然后又快速的收割一下,过一段时间再上一段平台,所以他很好奇对方是怎么玩的?好像比自己赚的钱要简单也容易很多。
我哑然失笑,其实这个世界上每个人赚钱的思路是不一样的,有的人主打的是只赚一次性的钱,而有的人的主旨是靠新客户变成老客户然后增加黏度。
所以如果后者要去学前者,想来一定是要经历过一段痛苦且煎熬的过程,而前者想要学后者,大概也是没有那么多的耐心去等待和坚持下去。
我自然没有告诉这个人平台运营的规则和模式,也没有给一些推荐之类的,虽然我知道我的朋友有的平台运营的很好,也有的是在平台内部上班,只是觉得,有些东西还是永远都不知道的好一些。
有的时候一旦我们揭开真相的面纱, 大概很多人都接受不了赤裸裸的现实。所以与其告诉他真相,还不如让他在内心里心存一些美好的向往。
从这个朋友的朋友圈去看,他从事的行业和产品大概也是经历了很多的波折,最终选定了一款自己最擅长的产品,开始投入生产,实现自营自销,
所以我想每一个有野心不安于眼下的外贸人,大概最终的归宿要么是独自一人SOHO,要么是建立团队,要么是开工厂实现产品价格最优化。
有的人早早的就已经定好了自己的目标,并且朝着目标一路前行。
有的人到三十岁才恍然懂得一些道理,开始慢慢地改变自己。
有的人可能一路都在边看边找,却始终找不到自己想要的是什么?
我记得有一个博主说是一眼看到头的人生好还是充满挑战,充满活力的人生?
然后这个博主说的一段话如下:
I think living in this century, we have the advantage that is with a relatively low cost , we can go traveling around the world, we have access to those food from faraway continents,Like this morning, I had liche I felt really happy. simple happiness,
And so I understand,due to our traditional culture. we were told we need to seek for stability , like stable job, stable pay,and stable life, but you know exactly what does that mean right?
That means around twenty one years old, we have to graduate from university and around twenty seven twenty eight years old. we have to get married, then you have kids,then you have to raise your family,then when your children graduate from university.
Finally,you have some time to do exactly something you want to do ,but then you are old, that means probably you are suffering from some disease or you just do not have this course or you just do not have this courage, this mindset to explore this world, or to do something you wanted to do , so I think that's a price for stability, but being adventurous you know in english it's very interesting. adventurous also equals to risky so being adventurous means you have to take risks, but taking risks means you are going to have some unexpected happiness or harvest , but also some kind of you know accidents,
For young people, we have to do something what old people they can not do, that means young people we have resilience.courage, flexibility ,we have to value our advantage that is to take risks. Going with the flow sometimes we can make us feel like we are really safe, but then you are going to miss the surprises in your life road.
If you only live by following your heart, you do not go with the flow, then you will get the life that you like,'
Life was like a box of chocolate, you will never know what you gonna get .
