This afternoon, it finally stopped raining. I remembered that I hadn’t walked for several days, so I walked casually along the small park in Minsheng Community. As a result, I passed by a bookstore and saw this book “[The era of resumption of business is here: Multiple careers create multiple incomes and live a life of wealth and freedom] (https://www.eslite.com/product/1001123032655007)” and I was very moved. After walking for a while, I rested at a nearby convenience store and it didn’t take too long to finish reading the new book I just purchased!
Perhaps it is the relationship between the so-called “Law of Attraction” or the timing, but similar books have been published recently, starting from the previous “[Slash Youth: New Global Career Trends, Embrace a More Valuable Multi-Job Life](https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010762201?utm_sou rce=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-201802)”, “[The gig economy is coming: a head-breaking MBA innovation course, teaching you to bravely challenge a multi-faceted life with multiple incomes and multiple job identities](https://www.eslite. com/product/1001124272652903)”, to the new book “[One-click profit: Exploring new business opportunities in the sharing economy era, and turning knowledge, skills, and items into gold]” (https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/001 0777782?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-201802)”, talks about how people should challenge multiple jobs or the so-called resumed life in this uncertain and changing era, and then create a personal career map.
Resumption is not just about “doing one more job”! For example:
Because of lack of money, I went to work in a convenience store after work → (X) A general “side job” is just a salary.
I am an ordinary office worker during the day, and a sociable bartender at night → ( O ) A “resumption of business” with a truly synergistic effect. Turn your interest into income and your connections into gold!
Resuming business is of course not just a side business. I searched curiously and found that as early as 2013, the well-known Japanese writer Naoyuki Honda had written in “[After get off work, your life has just begun!”] written by him and Ochi Masato. : Make money by resuming business! The book “The Multiplication Work Technique of Never Giving Up on Your Dreams” (https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010587714?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-201802)” introduces the concept of making money through resumption of business.
It’s a coincidence that I just watched the live broadcast of “[Everyone should have product thinking] (https://www.facebook.com/club4innovator/videos/1290142861087062/)” on the fan page of [Innovation Elementary School] (https://www.facebook.com/club4innovator/) last night, Teacher Zhou Shuolun talked about π-shaped people from the perspective of product managers. He told us that we need to have both business knowledge, industry knowledge and professional knowledge to gain a foothold in the highly competitive workplace.
And this morning, I saw my friend Mocoo who is engaged in e-commerce industry on Facebook. Lee, posted wonderful information pictures and texts to promote the concept of “Polygonal Life” ).
Observed that many people with high incomes have a lot of [income corners](https://www.facebook.com/mocoolelee/posts/pfbid0pALx2h2ionUQErK5zZ 7F2WtLoUSCUi2kCVhfYPNUB9tma8DRYqR6oGKhbAaXCea9l), whether it is a full-time job, a startup outside the industry, or different investment projects, it can be said that at the same time, there are many sources of input that are helping him increase his income.
People with lower incomes usually only have one income corner, and the future of this income is completely in the hands of the boss. The essence of business is exchange. The boss buys your time at a low price and converts it into high-value products for sale.
Therefore, people with a single income angle, except for a few special occupations and business-type jobs, almost all receive lower salaries in a dull manner. It is difficult to achieve high income.
In fact, whether it is π-shaped people, slash youths or freelancers, you must know that these are inevitable trends under social changes. Freelancing is not a new thing, and resumption of work has been around for many years. However, with the advancement of information technology, the market downturn, and the multiple relationships between low-wage earners, the thinking of multiple jobs and resumption of life has become more important, and it has also catalyzed the so-called “gig economy”.
Reading “The era of resumption of business is here: Multiple careers create multiple incomes, and live a life of wealth and freedom” gave me some triggers. For example, some of the golden sentences excerpted from the book are quite shocking. For example, Jace Hall’s famous saying: “To get from A to C, you don’t have to go through B.” It reminded me to break away from rigid traditions and find a development path that suits me.
And Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) reminded me again: “People always think that focus is focusing on what must be focused on, but in fact it is not the case. Focus really means saying no to hundreds of other good ideas. Careful selection is the key.” Indeed, we not only need to focus, but also need to work smartly.
Whether you want to start a business or look for various development possibilities outside of your own industry, this book is well worth reading. The author not only talks about a lot of entrepreneurial ideas, but also interviews many successful entrepreneurs. The book also talks about many implementation details, such as how to design the sales page and so on. Well, I think if you read it carefully, you should gain some new insights.
For example, in the chapter about introducing connections, I learned a good approach. Regarding [establishing contacts] (https://www.vistacheng.com/establishing-contacts), I have always had my own set of values - I don’t like the practice of going around exchanging business cards and taking photos with celebrities, but I am willing to take the initiative to extend an olive branch to see if my friends need my help.
We must first put ourselves in the other person’s shoes and try to sublimate “what I want to do” into “what we want to do.” I don’t like that many people view [people management] (https://www.vistacheng.com/establishing-contacts) with a penny-penny mentality. You cannot use computers to calculate the pros and cons of interactions between people.
But after reading this book, I learned that I can actually take a more active role: instead of asking others “Do you need help?”, I can actively think about “How can I help?” This reminds me of a friend who often asks me questions about copywriting, and I am always happy to give some advice. But he was embarrassed and worried whether it would disturb me too much or affect my course income.
In fact, in the process of helping others, you often benefit yourself. For example, if I help read product copy or press releases, I can also learn a lot of new knowledge, or pay attention to some details that I have never paid attention to in the past. If you also plan to start your own multi-job life, you might as well learn the “non-linear network” method in the book.
Well, I am not going to “spoiler” too much of the content in the book. Friends who are interested can buy the book to support it. This is a good book that is easy to understand, but the point is not what the author says, but what should we do after reading it?
