Imagine your start-up project becoming one of the top ten in the industry in just two and a half years. What would it be like? Imagine again, when your company is about to be acquired, and your life may completely change as a result, how will you feel? Today, let me take you into such a real entrepreneurial story.
In June 2016, an email changed the life trajectory of an entrepreneur. Before that, he experienced countless sleepless nights, endured a lot of pressure, and dealt with financial uncertainty. He was running a fast-growing independent startup, and while it was his dream business, it came with far more struggles and complications than he expected.
Pictures from the past flashed through his mind: the day when annual revenue exceeded 1 million, the joy when hiring the eighth employee, and the pride when he moved into a spacious and bright office. But there are also moments of loss and despair. For example, in 2014, he cried loudly in a car on the side of the road due to tremendous pressure, and even got angry at his family.
Finally, one day at the end of June 2016, he sat in a university classroom and accompanied his eldest son to a cello summer camp. My phone suddenly prompted a new email. When he opened it, his heart suddenly rose to his throat - the board of directors had agreed to acquire his company. He was almost breathless with excitement and quickly signed the document on the screen that would change his life.
After the acquisition was completed, he opened mobile banking and saw the numbers in the company's bank account, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart. Life seems to be different at this moment. The text messages and account balance screenshots sent by his partners convinced him that the project they jointly created has achieved great success.
However, success is not the end, but a new starting point. The stress hasn't completely gone away, but the entrepreneur is ready to take on new challenges and move forward. His story tells us: The road to entrepreneurship is full of hardships and tears, but as long as you persevere, you will eventually see the light of day.
Now, let's go back to the original question: If you were this entrepreneur, how would you deal with such a huge change and possible challenges? His story may give us some inspiration: face it bravely, persevere, and always believe in your dreams. Because only in this way can we go further on the road of entrepreneurship.
