【 分割空间 】用200万撬动2000万

都是思维模式与执行力   【 分割空间 】 王紫杰:用200万撬动2000万 典型重资产: 1. 投资大 2. 建设周期长 3. 回本速度慢 建厂的第一天就要找到客户 (一)切割(成多资产组合),空间 比如,香港千尺豪宅,不过 100 平方米 打造样板生产线,运转后让别人投剩余的生产线。 1)把大块资产切成多块小资产 2)只做样板生产,锁定大客户 3)其他由社会资金入驻,复制 大大降低对资金的依赖 【 战略顶层设计 】 王紫杰:如何用 10万元 撬动别人 2000万 都搞不定的事情? 第一、拥有核心技术; 第二、解决生产问题; 第三、元老参与; 第四、政府支持; 第五、拥有渠道。 这种只有好处没有风险的事情,肯定会吸引很多经销商参加。 以下全文转载自: https://www.sohu.com/a/308731883_100120575 【 战略顶层设计 】 这个世界没有什么所谓的困难,你之所以觉得难,根本原因在于你的境界不够。 赚一亿对于王健林只是一个小目标,而对于大多数的人是穷尽一辈子都遥不可及的大目标。 所以,要克服各种困难和障碍,归根到底要不断提升自身的境界。 《战略顶层设计》峰会课程有一个很鲜明的特点,就是既讲“道”,又讲“术”。一边讲商业理论体系,一边讲自己辅导实操的案例。 听这些案例,不由得拍案叫绝,情不自禁地喝彩和鼓掌,因为实在太有技术含量了。 3天的课程,王紫杰老师大概讲了30多个案例,每个都非常精彩。 今天和大家分享一个我认为最具技术含量的案例,与其说是一个案例,不如说是一套极具价值的商业思维模式。 个体户思维模式——自己出钱自己干 两年前,一位湖南的刘老板,在商业上遇到了大麻烦,火急火燎地从湖南跑到广州找王紫杰老师取经求救。 他一见到王紫杰老师就说请帮忙融资500万,因为他的项目还差500万买机器才能正式启动。 王紫杰老师让他不要着急,让他将事情的来龙去脉慢慢道来。 事情是这样的。 四年前,刘老板还是一家广告公司的老板,在广告行业打拼了20多年,积累了2000多万身家。 在一次朋友聚会,结识了国人非常敬仰的农业科学家、杂交水稻之父袁隆平袁老。 吃饭的时候,袁老无意中提到,他一位科学家朋友发明了一种特殊的有机肥料。 袁老本人特别看好这种有机肥料,认为有非常广泛的应用前景。 说者无意,听者有心。 刘老板一听,袁老都看好的事情,感觉其中有很大...

旅行,别把你的钱留到死

图片
金錢能發揮效益的時機 《別把你的錢留到死》書中提到一個觀念很有意思,金錢能發揮最好效益的時候,是在我們年輕力壯的時候,而不是衰老和病痛的時候。就像是作者所說:「旅行是衡量一個人能否從金錢獲得樂趣的最高標準。因為旅行需要時間、金錢,還有健康。」 雖然這句話聽起來很合理,但是大部分的人都不是這樣花錢的。 書中提到了一個重要的數據:隨著年齡的增長,人們往往減少了支出。 美國的「消費者支出調查」顯示,即使老年人的醫療開銷有所增加,他們的整體支出還是呈現下降趨勢,因為他們的食、衣、育、樂費用下降得更多。 數據更顯示,許多人在晚年是過度節儉,可能存了過多的錢,而 沒有充分利用這些資源來提高他們的生活品質。 舉例來說,一位即將退休的人已經有足夠的儲蓄去旅行、享受美食或參加有趣的活動,但他可能因為擔心未來的醫療費用而選擇不這麼做。 這樣的過度儲蓄導致他錯過了許多提高生活品質的機會。 這個現象也發生在我們生活周遭老一輩的身上,累積了大半輩子財富,生活品質和日常感受卻不見得有什麼改善。 很多人努力存錢的原因,也來自於對於未來健康的擔憂,作者說:「他們在身體健康、活力十足的時候放棄了自己人生的好幾年時光,只為了在自己生病不能動的時候有錢可以多延長幾週的生命。」 然而數據指出,如果要用到最昂貴的醫療照護,大部分人存的錢其實再怎麼存都不夠用。 而且,能夠「真正活著」與只是「維持生命徵象」是天差地別,作者更傾向把錢用在前者。 他不想要自己努力地「預防性儲蓄」,就只為了靠呼吸器多活幾個月。不要過度犧牲自己年輕少壯的美好歲月,就只為了在生命的尾聲多活一小段時間。 相反地,把這些錢花在「維持健康與預防疾病」會比花在「維持生命」來得聰明得多。為了維持健康身體的每一分錢的效益都很大。像是定期的健康檢查、各種運動活動、花費在健康飲食和營養計劃。 關於健康照護與擔心晚年沒錢花的問題,書中提到了「長期看護險」和「年金保險」等財務規劃工具,這些工具都可以幫助我們在早期更自由地使用儲蓄,享受生活,而不是將所有資金都保留到生命的尾聲。 人生的事業就是擁有回憶。畢竟到最後,那才是人生的全部。 以上文字摘錄自... 《別把你的錢留到死》讀後心得:顛覆傳統的新理財智慧 繼續閱讀全文 >  https://readingoutpost.com/die-with-zero/

注意力

图片
《宰相刘罗锅》 《宰相刘罗锅》这部电视剧中,有一个有趣的片段: 皇帝乾隆与和珅、刘罗锅一起下江南。 每次刘罗锅和和珅总是吵个不停,弄得大家心情不好。有一次,皇帝决定独自出去散心。他走着走着,看到路边有个卖豆花的小摊,便坐下来吃了一碗。 吃完后,皇帝拍拍屁股准备走人,却被掌柜叫住:「客官,您还没付钱呢!」皇帝这才惊觉,原来这豆花是要付钱的! 这个片段给了我很深的感触: 其实我们真正需要的从来不是钱,钱只是我们用来交换想要的东西的工具 。 皇帝从来不需要钱,因为他要什么就有什么;反之对我们需要钱,因为钱可以帮助我们买什么,就能够拥有什么。 随着年龄增长,我们会越来越觉得, 真正重要的从来不是钱,而是人世中最稀缺的资源。 这不论是对市井小民,或什么都拥有的皇帝,都是同样的。 《通往财富自由之路》 我非常喜欢的书《通往财富自由之路》提到,人世间最重要的三个资源,按照其重要性和稀缺程度排列: 注意力 > 时间 > 金钱。 当我们赚到钱时,应该用钱去赚钱,从而赚到自己的时间。 只有拥有了时间,我们才能真正掌握自己的生命,想做什么就做什么。 而这个「想做什么」就是注意力的体现。 我们经常说自己想爬玉山、看爸妈、每天花点时间读书或运动,这些都是我们希望将注意力投入的地方,但总是没时间。我自己也常常忙得跟鬼一样,想在一段时间里塞很多东西进去,希望能够做好时间管理。 却不知道,真正需要管理的其实不是时间,而是我们在时间中能否把注意力放在想做的事情上。 这也是为什么 免费的东西往往是最贵的, 因为它不是在赚取别人的钱,而是赚取他们生命中最稀缺的资源——注意力和时间。 宇哲老师的节目 比如,我上宇哲老师的节目,老师花时间为我准备访纲,还要花很多时间把音频上架。 这些换来的并不是实际上的真金白银,而是成千上万人的注意力,是一种 注意力的价值交换 。 注意力价值积累起来,最终会变成时间的累积。 如果有一天我想要出书或贩卖产品时,大家就不会对我感到陌生,因为他们曾经投入过注意力和时间在我身上, 进而产生信任。 最终愿意花钱去做价值交换,购买我的书籍。 人们不会购买一个他们不知道或不信任的东西。从知道到信任,是一个累积心智空间的重要过程。 这个过程从注意力开始,经过时间的累积,最终转化为购买行为。 所以,当你免费地提供内容,分享你所有拥有的,看似好像傻傻的在帮人数钱,其实你也交换到了别...

人生七年

图片
 BBC有一部紀錄片,名為《人生七年》,從1964年開始耗費半個世紀取材、拍攝14個來自不同階層的孩子,從他們的7歲拍到56歲,每7年做一次追蹤。 其實結局大抵不脫我們的猜想:有錢人家的孩子什麼都比較會。窮人家的孩子通常也就那樣了,偶爾會有特別出彩的,算是激勵人心。 久久看到一次討論,心中感慨萬千。一般認為翻轉階層的手段是教育,其實可說對,也可說不對。 這部片在YT都看得到,所以紀錄片的精神我經常會在課堂上跟學生聊,但是我認為,裡頭真正揭露的重點絕非一般以為的教育萬能論那類的東西,我下面分成三點來談: 1、 上層階級。 上層階級的孩子不會往下掉,因為處在這個位置的孩子很難犯大錯。即便犯了大錯,你也會因為家族的資源而被接住。 注意一下,我這裡講的是家族,上層階級之所以穩固,是因為資源分散在你的阿姨叔伯姊妹兄弟手上,透過家族的聯姻,上層階級早已形成了一個盤根錯節的網絡,個人的錯誤會被接住,再不濟,就是當個公子哥兒享受人生,不讓插手決策而已。 2、 下層階級。 從紀錄片的內容來看,下層階級的孩子要翻身的方式有兩個:教育和性格。但透過教育翻身並非人人可行,即便能翻身,那也是小機率事件。但教育確實是有力的支持因素。 除了教育之外,個人的性格也是協助翻轉階級的關鍵原因。那些樂觀開朗、正向積極的孩子長大之後,憑藉此點都有翻身的機會。 3、 中產階級 中產階級,也就是現在正在收看文章的多數朋友,我特地把它留到最後一點來談。從影片來看,中產階級往上擠的難度很高,遠低於向下掉的機會。 中產階級往下掉的原因絕非教育,為什麼?因為中產階級的父母是裡頭最注重教育的一群人。所以他們階層滑落的原因出在哪裡?從影片和一般的討論文章看起來,應該是出在父母本身。 特別是這類父母如果只注重「知識教育」,卻不注重「社會」和「人際教育」。那小孩就有可能淪為下層階級。 這樣的父母經常會傳遞很狹隘的學習觀念。例如:「萬般皆下品,唯有讀書高」、「努力吃苦才會有回報」、「天下沒有白吃的午餐」、「別人的東西不要拿」等等這類似是而非的東西。 他們經常是透過個人的努力或特定的專業而來到這個位置,但對人際關係或商業的原理基本一竅不通,不清楚影響我們人生最巨大的這兩點,其本質都是一樣的,那就是「交換」。 他們經常會用各種奇怪的理由禁止小孩交換,不管是交換感情還是交換價值。他們喜歡告訴小孩:只要你努力就可以被看見、不需...

BTC Halving and Value Investing

图片
BTC Halving   On April 19, 2024,  the block reward for bitcoin miners was reduced by half,  from 6.25 BTC per mined block to 3.125 BTC per mined block. and the price of bitcoin  remained relatively stable at around $64,000. We have yet to see the price of bitcoin 150 days later after halving 2024, which would be September 16, 2024. Value Investing The reality is that markets are inefficient.  Markets are often irrational, and prices will not reflect value.  As Warren Buffett said, “Mr. Market is a drunken psycho.” Value investing tries to identify securities that are underpriced due to market irrationality. The trick is having the right tools to spot these opportunities — tools like fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis enables traditional institutional investors to understand the industry, attracting more capital and giving rise to more unicorns, similar to what happened in the internet and consumer industries. These core techniques are also becoming ...

Impact Investing, Philanthropic Venture

 当金钱站起来说话的时候, 真理都要沉默, 当权利站起来说话的时候, 连金钱都得退避三舍。 When money  stands up  and speaks,  the truth  is silenced,  and  when power  stands up  and speaks,  even money  must step aside. ***** “地球不需要 更多‘成功’的人。 地球迫切需要 更多培育和平的人, 更多愿意帮助疗愈 和复兴的人, 愿意以各种方式 讲述故事 并传递爱的人。 它需要那些 在他们的家园中 有意义地生活、 具有道德勇气、 为更宜居和 更人道的世界 而奋斗的人; 而这些品质 与我们今天文化中 理解的成功 几乎毫不相干。” ~ Tenzin Gyatso "The planet doesn't need  any more 'successful' people. The planet desperately needs  more people who will cultivate peace,  people who will help  with healing and rehabilitation,  who will tell stories and  give love in every way possible.  It needs people  who live meaningfully  in their home places,  with moral courage,  ready to fight  for a more livable and humane world; and  these qualities  have very little to do  with success  as our culture today understands it." ~ Tenzin Gyatso

What is Elliott Wave Theory, and how to use it in crypto? What is Elliott Wave Theory, and how to use it in crypto? Elliott Wave Theory predicts prices in all sorts of markets, allowing investors to adjust their trading strategies based on historical trends. Elliott claims the eight-wave principle will repeat, leading back into five waves, converging into three waves and so on.  ... the second set of waves will never drop below the lowest point of the initial five waves. As a result, this theory states that barring any unforeseen price shifts, such as a rug pull, the price will continue to rise on a long-term basis. Elliott argues that these market cycles can be seen across various time frames — that the eight-wave theory applies in a 15-minute trading period to an hour-long period, to a week-long, and so on. https://cointelegraph.com/news/what-is-elliott-wave-theory-and-how-to-use-it-in-crypto

Crypto Vault Liquidity Provider Crypto Wallet What is a crypto vault, and how does it work? Unlike hot wallets connected to the internet, crypto vaults are predominantly offline, making them significantly less vulnerable to hacking attempts. This air-gapped approach adds a robust layer of protection against unauthorized access, phishing scams and malware attacks.  Crypto vaults utilize offline storage and robust security protocols to protect digital assets during deposits, transactions and withdrawals . When a user wishes to make a withdrawal or initiate a transaction, the vault’s security mechanisms are activated. These mechanisms vary depending on the type of vault and may include smart contract execution, time-based delays or multiparty approvals. This process ensures that transactions are authorized and legitimate. To maintain the highest level of security, reputable vault providers regularly conduct monitoring and auditing procedures . These may include security audits, vulne...

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum—even encourage the more critical and dissident views.
