13 MONEY-MAKING MINDSETS WORTH LEARNING FROM CHINESE PEOPLE
There are money-making principles not taught in school - but are deeply ingrained in the blood of Chinese entrepreneurs.
They don't need complicated philosophies. They act based on simple, practical mindsets, sometimes... surprisingly raw.
1. Big money comes from small money.
There’s no such thing as getting rich quickly. Those who boast about making money easily are usually deceiving you. A wise person is one who works quietly - and enjoys in silence. Talking too much, boasting too much - is easy to encounter disaster.
2. If you have an idea, act on it immediately.
Even if the first product is rough, you should still get started. Doing and adjusting is better than waiting for perfection. An imperfect start is the best start.
3. Don't listen too much to your parents about finances.
If your parents have struggled all their lives, respect them - but you don't have to follow their every word. Be filial, but have your own opinions. Many people fail because... they listen too much.
4. The fastest way to make money is... to copy.
Don't try to create everything from scratch. Learn and copy successful models. Borrow models, borrow from others - to go faster.
5. Copying must get to the core.
Don't just imitate on the surface. Delve deep to understand the system, how they think and operate from within.
6. People who make a lot of money are often... eccentric.
They are different, go against the tide, not loved by the majority. But the common point is: dare to break the rules (except for the law). The important question is: are you brave enough to be different?
7. Exchanging strength for money = cannot get rich.
Rich people do not work with their hands and feet. If you can't stand the boredom of safety, start a business as soon as possible. Big money often comes in 3-5 years, in an explosive manner - not gradually.
8. Starting a company is not a lifelong destination.
Don't dream of a model that lasts a lifetime. This era changes quickly - business means continuously transforming. Those who refuse to change will be left behind.
9. Choosing a profession = choosing an opponent.
Before entering the profession, see if you have the capability & courage to compete. If you lack 'thick skin' and perseverance - then don't enter. The market is a battlefield.
10. Learn to work close to money.
Skills like communication, content creation, sales, community building… help you get closer to money faster. Ask yourself: Is there anyone who needs the product you make? Are they willing to pay?
11. In this era: selling relies on images & short videos.
No one buys because you are good. They buy because they see - and believe. To sell, you must invest in images and communication. Selling online = selling information.
12. If you need money, earn money first, no need to dream.
If you are struggling, focus on making money first. You may be poor in everything, but don't be poor in money-making skills. 99% of life's pain comes from… lack of money.
13. Big thinkers see Vietnam differently.
Ordinary people think: Vietnam is small. Business people think: Vietnam has 100 million people. If just 1,000 people pay you 1 million, you have 1 billion. 1,000 people knowing you is good - because there are still 99 million who don't know you.
Money does not come by itself. But if you understand the rules of the game - you can choose a different way to play: a simpler and less arduous way.
