"Success is the pleasure of constantly conquering yourself and the world, and wealth is only one of the incidental results."

In 2009, he became the Secretary-General of the 3rd Hunan College Students Calligraphy Federation and the first college student member of Hunan Calligraphy Association. He is one of the founders of Han Yun Society of Hunan Normal University, and serves as the propaganda director. From March 2009 to February 2000, three Han Yun calligraphy classes were held in the College of Literature of Hunan Normal University. The company he founded was rated as an excellent enterprise for college students' entrepreneurship in 20 12. After graduating from college, he resigned from his stable job in the national postal system. Now he is a member of Hunan Calligraphy Association and CEO of Dadongzuo Education Group.
He is the young calligrapher Zhangbo Wu. As a newly graduated college student, how did he start his own business?
Family edification, learning Chinese characters from childhood, persevere!
Zhangbo Wu, born in Yizhang County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, is an ordinary family with a scholarly family. His father was admitted to Hunan Normal University, but gave up college. Zhangbo Wu chose to study in Hunan Normal University, and his parents' complex is a very important reason. Zhangbo Wu's growth has been strictly demanded by his father since childhood. My father likes writing. He writes very well. My father started looking for a mentor for Zhangbo Wu very early. From the fourth and fifth grade of primary school, a calligraphy tutor of Yizhang County Calligraphy Association began to teach Zhangbo Wu to learn to write. From the moment he picked up the pen, Zhangbo Wu fell in love with writing. Since then, Zhangbo Wu has forged a precious fate with calligraphy art.
Persistence is the key to learning. Many things are easily forgotten if they can't persist. Zhangbo Wu said, "We learned a lot when we were young. Even if I laid a good foundation, I can't remember a lot of things when I grow up, just because I can't stick to it all the time. My brother and I go to learn to write together. We practice writing almost every day from primary school entrance to high school graduation. In fact, people can come into contact with calligraphy when they are young. I remember when we were young, we studied at school. The school issued calligraphy textbooks and arranged writing classes, including children who are now exposed to calligraphy, but it is difficult to persist. "
"As for how to persist, it is certainly a very difficult process. Especially in junior high school and junior high school, the study tasks are increasing and the study time is very tight, but we still have to practice calligraphy. There are also advantages in entering colleges and universities to practice calligraphy. I have regarded calligraphy as a kind of enjoyment in the intense learning rhythm, and calligraphy can also calm me down in the intentional communication with calligraphy. When I was a child, my teacher taught me to write standing. My body can't move It's just my wrist dancing. The power of writing naturally comes from my wrist. "
Persistence in a difficult living environment can better show a person's strong will and predict a person's development potential. Zhangbo Wu lived in the countryside since childhood, and his life has been influenced by his parents' frugal lifestyle, so he learned to save money since childhood. When Jaco was still in primary school in Zhangbo Wu, my father opened a bank account for him. Before graduating from primary school, Zhangbo Wu saved more than 2,700 yuan in obscurity. Every year, Zhangbo Wu gives her parents the red envelopes she received during the Spring Festival. Therefore, this money was accumulated bit by bit in Zhangbo Wu's life, and he earned it by collecting junk after school every day. Even in a difficult living environment, Zhangbo Wu still insisted on practicing calligraphy. "I am as bitter and tired as the generation after 80!" Zhangbo Wu said with emotion.
When I first started writing, I naturally copied copybooks every day. "When others are still sleeping, I will get up early to write. Everyone else has gone to bed, so I will stay up half an hour late and still practice my handwriting. Every time I write, my body always stands still. When it is hot, my body will sweat, and the sweat will drip on the paper and melt the words. When it is cold, your body will sweat. Because the right hand is always exposed to write, there will be many frostbite in winter. "
There are gains and losses in human growth. Persistence will make you grow in a certain way, and you will naturally lose a lot of things. Calligraphy, accompanied by the growth of Zhangbo Wu, is an important part of his primary and secondary school life. "Before I went to college, my life was very monotonous. I don't have many friends to communicate with, no childhood joy, no childhood freedom. I am writing all the time except doing my homework. The only happiness I remember is riding a bike to school in high school. On the way, my heart is full of explosive power. Of course, I appreciate my persistence. Without persistence, my calligraphy can't be practiced to the present level. " Understand with your heart, make friends with calligraphy, and find gold in the market!
A person's growth only depends on his unremitting efforts, which will create a person's success and even a person's character. But to reach a higher level, we need constant thinking and understanding, which tests a person's talent in a certain aspect.
When you learn to a certain extent, you will encounter bottlenecks at the learning level. After more than ten years of calligraphy training, Zhangbo Wu began to constantly think about how to make greater breakthroughs and how to understand the art of calligraphy. "I don't get a pen to practice calligraphy every day now. You don't need to practice calligraphy every day, but you will often understand calligraphy with your heart, read a word and read a copybook, and you will make progress. In ancient times, some people would look at a monument for three days and three nights, which is the reason. Calligraphy is more than just a writing tool. It is enough to write with a hard pen. Calligraphy is more of an art. "
Entering Hunan Normal University, Zhangbo Wu changed the monotonous study and life style before going to college. He and a group of young partners founded the Han Yun Society and served as the propaganda director of the Society. He held three consecutive calligraphy art classes to learn calligraphy with students and share the charm of calligraphy. Today, the founders of the Han Yun Institution still maintain close communication, or miss their days in Han Yun society, or talk about entrepreneurship. Some of them have become entrepreneurs' partners in Zhangbo Wu.
In addition, he took calligraphy as his friend and visited famous calligraphers everywhere. Communicate with calligraphy youth and calligraphy associations in colleges and universities in Hunan Province, get to know many famous calligraphers of Hunan Calligraphy Association and learn from them. Zhangbo Wu said, "I think calligraphy is an open art, and we need to communicate with each other and learn from each other in order to make progress. Now I think the road to entrepreneurship should be the same. Need to open the door, entrepreneurial teams need to learn from each other. " Book Friends has brought a lot of fun to Zhangbo Wu's life and contributed to his successful business.
Because of his positive performance in calligraphy, he was appointed as the secretary general of Hunan University Students Calligraphy Federation. Zhangbo Wu has made many friends in calligraphy. During their college years, they actively carried out roving exhibitions of calligraphy inside and outside the province and organized calligraphy art classes for many times. Although people were taught writing for free at this time, it has accumulated enough experience for the formal business in Zhangbo Wu. He is familiar with the doorway of calligraphy entrepreneurship. Some of his friends in the calligraphy circle later became his business partners, working as calligraphy teachers in Dadong Education Group, and some even served as principals of regional branch schools. "People can't read dead books. They should take an active part in various social practice activities during their college years and use their college time to integrate into society. Of course, reading is very important and knowledge needs to be used flexibly. If a university just studies, it will lose a lot of knowledge that it can't learn on campus. I worked in the free service industry for four years during my college years. "
"The first bucket of gold is very important. Starting a business requires start-up capital. If there is no money at all, what can we talk about? " When it comes to the first pot of gold in his own business, Zhangbo Wu has a brilliant performance. 20 1 1 When he was about to graduate from university, Zhangbo Wu seized the opportunity that the Taobao card of China Bank had just entered the social market and served as the general marketing agent of Taobao card on the campus of Hunan Normal University. Because of extensive contacts, I was further responsible for the marketing of Taobao cards in Hunan. According to the marketing data at that time, almost the whole marketing share of Taobao Card in Hunan was occupied by the marketing team he led. At that time, Zhangbo Wu led a marketing team of more than 300 people, with the financial association of Hunan Normal University as the main force, and successfully sold more than 8,500 Taobao cards, creating the first sales volume of the China card team, with a team profit of 6,543.8+0.6 million yuan, so Zhangbo Wu earned his first bucket of gold, more than 50,000 yuan. Clear your mind, blaze new trails and go forward bravely!
When Zhangbo Wu talks about starting a business, he can never leave to talk about calligraphy. He also shows the special temperament of a calligrapher. He said: "I didn't start a business for the sake of starting a business. I founded Dadongzuo Education Group not only to make money, but also to promote national culture through calligraphy. Calligraphy is an art, not money. The calligraphy training fee charged by Dadongzuo Education Group is very general. People can't find a job for work, but find a job that suits them, otherwise your work performance will not be excellent. "
There is a saying in the ancients that "words are like people." Zhangbo Wu's words also showed his character. "In my current thinking, practicing calligraphy requires personal diligence, persistence, understanding and innovation." When Zhangbo Wu talked about entrepreneurship, he also talked about these words. Zhangbo Wu said frankly: "Starting a business is of course a very difficult and risky thing. When I resigned from the national postal system and started a business, my parents always expressed strong opposition. To this end, I quarreled with my family several times. Parents all over the world want their children to have a stable job and a visible future. Parents do not expect their children to do earth-shattering things. I don't want to worry my parents, and I don't want to add burden to my family. I have never taken a penny from my family since I started my business. It is very difficult to start a business all the way, and it is also very difficult now, especially the difficulty of capital turnover. From making posters, handing out leaflets, moving tables to self-enrollment, many things need to be done by ourselves, and we must be at the forefront and lead the team to fight together. In short, if you want to really start a business, don't be afraid of suffering. "
"A gentleman will have perseverance, and he will have perseverance. His efforts are endless. Unlimited efforts will make great achievements that shock me. Entrepreneurs must be prepared to bear the challenges that others can't bear and break the existing ideas in their hearts. Only those who know their life goals, are curious about unknown fields and are willing to accept challenges are suitable for starting a business. The pain of starting a business is not only a matter of money, but also a mental torture, because you have to face a terrible fact: the failure of starting a business is inevitable and the success of starting a business is extremely accidental. So you should always remind yourself. Therefore, entrepreneurship requires IQ, EQ and dare to do business, choose suitable projects with IQ, build a core team with EQ, and appreciate the taste of entrepreneurship with dare to do business. "
Dadongzuo Education Group has developed smoothly. In his sophomore year, Zhangbo Wu founded the first training center in Chenzhou-Jaco Painting and Calligraphy Art Training Center. 20 12 formally registered and established Changsha dadongzuo education consulting co., ltd., and on 20 12 obtained the special support fund of 50,000 yuan from Changsha for starting a business and enriching the people. Dadongzuo Education Group has reached a certain scale. Besides its corporate headquarters in Changsha, it has 12 training points in Yizhang, Guiyang, Yongzhou, Shaoyang, Shaodong, Hengyang and Hengdong.
Under normal operation, Dadongzuo Education Group has encountered a bottleneck in its development. "In order to achieve new breakthroughs, we need to clear our minds and integrate resources. Entrepreneurship needs to learn to integrate resources, which is different from the mutual utilization between people, and the utilization is entirely a matter of interest. Resource integration is to let everyone give full play to their advantages. For example, our friend Zhang has a certain level of calligraphy and is unemployed. Our Dadong Education Group just needs to expand its market in Zhang's position, who is familiar with the local market. In this way, Zhang can be responsible for local market development and solve Zhang's employment problem. This is a simple resource integration. Resource integration is very important, and it is difficult for a person to start a business alone. "
Zhangbo Wu particularly emphasized that entrepreneurs should pay attention to the promotion of entrepreneurial ideas. "Thinking is very important for starting a business. Before starting a business, you can't think too simply. Entrepreneurship itself is not a simple matter. You can start a business if you think about it. If your thinking is not clear, then starting a business is a very risky thing. " Zhangbo Wu also reminded, "College students should not be in a hurry to start a business, but should learn to start a business, be prepared for it, and test whether they are entrepreneurial materials. The process of starting a business is like writing a unique, tortuous, bizarre and dazzling life novel, so he has such charm that he can attract the smartest, most capable, whimsical and opinionated young people on earth to take risks. "
Calligraphy art will not stay, and the development of Dadongzuo Education Group also needs further innovation and improvement of training level. "Calligraphy training needs high-end training to improve market competitiveness. Next, we will plan to make calligraphy training more distinctive. You can learn from training institutions such as postgraduate entrance examination and civil service examination. In addition, we will also consider re-registering a company to run some new education and training programs. "
In order to improve the level of entrepreneurship and expand the scale of entrepreneurship, the turnover of venture capital often encounters difficulties. "At present, if we are doing research and development of entrepreneurial products, such as the writing of copybooks, the decoration of venues and the configuration of equipment, our funds can still be supported. If you invest in new training programs, it will be difficult to estimate the capital turnover. In short, calligraphy will continue to be the basis of my entrepreneurship, in order to explore the development of other industries, contribute to society and help others. "
Talking about his future career plan, Zhangbo Wu said, "Calligraphy is my hobby. No matter how difficult it is to start a business, I will always stick to it. Life should approach the goal step by step, not reach the sky step by step. Entrepreneurship is not a simple form, but also a mentality. "
