A woman's road to entrepreneurship made her quickly become a millionaire.

How did a laid-off female worker embark on the road to entrepreneurship? How did you get back on your feet after repeated failures and continue to start a business and eventually become a millionaire?

Zhou Yali was laid off after working in a state-owned enterprise for nearly 20 years. The pressure of life gave her the idea of starting a business. Donosi borrowed 200,000 yuan to open a clothing factory, but she got off to a bad start. After half a year, she not only lost all her money, but also owed hundreds of thousands of yuan in foreign debts. When the factory was about to close down, the trust and support of employees rekindled her entrepreneurial passion. Now, Zhou Yali's company has an annual sales of more than 6 million yuan and has hundreds of large customers at home and abroad.

After working for 20 years, I was fired.

At the beginning of 1998, the clothing market suffered a cold snap, many clothing factories closed down, and a textile factory in Shenyang where Zhou Yali was located also went bankrupt and reorganized. She has worked in state-owned enterprises for nearly 20 years, and Zhou Yali, once a sales director and assistant to the factory director, has become an older laid-off female worker. After being laid off, her income was gone, her lover's salary was not high, her son needed money to go to high school, and she also needed money to support her old mother. Facing the difficulties at home, Zhou Yali felt that she had to do something, and she couldn't let the difficulties overwhelm her, so she sprouted the idea of starting her own business.

What project is suitable for starting your own business? Zhou Yali knows very well that it is a bit late to start a business in her 40 s. If she changes careers and does something else, there is no advantage. After thinking about it, she feels that she is still the most familiar clothing industry. She made a bold decision and opened a garment processing factory. The idea was immediately opposed by her family, because they felt that the clothing industry was depressed and many small companies closed down. Zhou Yali must be crazy to open a garment processing factory at this time. But Zhou Yali has her own ideas. Years of experience have made her believe that although the clothing industry is at a low ebb, the market will soon improve. Some enterprises go bankrupt, and their own poor management is also an important factor.

Entrepreneurial experience: You must be careful when choosing entrepreneurial projects, but you must try to find the right target. No matter how difficult it is, we should grit our teeth and seize the business opportunities.

Lost everything in the sea for the first time.

1998, Zhou Yali began to do business in the sea. At the beginning, she felt that she had worked in the textile and garment industry for 20 years and also held leadership positions in state-owned enterprises. It's a shame to open a small sewing shop If she wants to do it, she must do something big.

Zhou Yali took out all her 80,000 yuan, borrowed tens of thousands of foreign debts, rented a storefront of more than 200 square meters, bought sewing machines and other equipment, recruited more than a dozen workers and set up a small garment processing factory. Zhou Yali learned the experience and lessons from other manufacturers. Clothing factories do not blindly process ready-made clothes for sale, but tailor clothes for customers according to their requirements.

At that time, she also distributed all kinds of fabrics, ran cold drinks and flowers, and the storefront of more than 200 square meters was filled with all kinds of flowers and fabrics. Shortly after the operation, Zhou Yali found that the reality was not what she planned, and there were too many places where money was needed. Wool, cotton and other commodities take up a large part of the funds, and the only money on hand is gone, so the capital turnover is very difficult.

Zhou Yali's garment processing factory soon caught up with the price reduction of various garments, business was deserted, and fabric distribution was also struggling in the tide of price reduction. Before the newly bought fabric was sold, the manufacturer reduced the price, which eventually led to her purchase price being higher than the market price. At the same time, Zhou Yali can't manage all the business by herself, and she doesn't have time to manage flowers and cold drinks, so she doesn't make money at all.
