Old readers should still have the impression that Brother K made a prediction in the article a year ago: in the next few years, the general environment will not be optimistic, because it has entered a new round of economic cycle, and professionals in the workplace have to carry out the "ABZ plan" to deal with . That is: in addition to the main business, you must also develop a sideline business to avoid too single source of income, in case you lose your job, you will stop working; and you must save more money and have a bottom-up plan. In extreme cases (both husband and wife are unemployed) Able to support the family through the downturn.
Don't tell me, someone really listened to it. Let me tell you the story of these two readers:
Xiao U is operated by an Internet company and has 15 years of work experience. He joined my knowledge planet two years ago. At that time, he felt very anxious. I analyzed his situation. He is a veteran of the company and is very familiar with his work, but his boss looks down on him a bit, so it is difficult to be promoted to the director of operations. I suggest him Don't give up on the effort (hopefully there is, in case of hell), and start a side hustle at the same time.
It just so happens that my knowledge planet is short of a part-time operator, so let Xiao U try it out. For him, making money is one aspect. Being able to participate in the creation and operation of a knowledge product from 0 to 1 is the biggest gain.
In March of this year, ChatGPT exploded. Xiao U was one of the first people in my team to learn and use ChatGPT. When I decided to make a ChatGPT column, he decisively joined the project team. I set a self-responsibility for this project In other words, it is equivalent to internal entrepreneurship. If you do a good job of sharing money, if you don’t do it well, the group will be disbanded. Under the encouragement of the rules, everyone’s potential will be stimulated.
As a result, everyone knows that once the column was launched, it was very popular and received rave reviews. The following is a screenshot of the performance in May. Xiao U’s monthly income is more than 30,000. If the part-time salary is added, the income from the sideline business has exceeded the main business.
Now that the story of Xiao U is finished, let me tell you about Brother D’s experience:
Brother D is a project manager of a large factory, 37 years old. Fortunately, I entered a large factory in the early years and stayed for 9 years, but stopped when I reached P8, and my ability reached a bottleneck. So Brother D joined my Knowledge Planet, looking for a way to break the situation. After I chatted with Brother D, I felt that his expression was very organized and his personal aura was not bad. I suggested that he organize the project management system and cases of the big factory into one Courses, part-time lectures to other companies.
This buddy is very strong in execution. After one month, the course was sorted out. I read it over and gave him some suggestions, and recommended him to the boss of a software company. The company just needed a project management training. As a result, the response after the training was not bad.
Later, Brother D became more confident in his lectures, and his courseware became more and more refined. Coupled with his aura of a big factory, there were more and more customers. Now Brother D flies all over the country every weekend to give lectures to different companies. He earns more than 50,000 a day for his lectures. I envy him, because it is so easy to earn.
There is a saying from Versailles that anyone who listens to my advice basically gets the result . If you ask Brother U and D now, are they still anxious? How do you think they will answer?
01
An adult's sense of security is all given by money
In a commercial society, a person's confidence ultimately comes from his economic strength.
Taking myself as an example, even if I am not an executive of a listed company and resign naked, the quality of life of me and my family will not be affected in any way, because two years ago my sideline income exceeded my main business income.
Similar words, I also said in the previous article, many readers said, envious that I have the confidence to say this.
How can I have any confidence, and it’s not that I’m so awesome, it’s just that our generation has enjoyed the dividends of the times:
When computers became popular, we chose the IT industry and got high salaries after graduation;
When the Internet became popular, I joined several unicorn companies, cashed out the stock options, and made the first pot of gold;
Buying a house caught up with the real estate bonus, and the assets have increased by 3 or 4 times in a few years;
Later, when I saw that the Internet was dying, I went to a traditional listed company as an executive. After I got a high salary and stocks, I realized how poor the Internet industry is;
When the official account became popular, I worked part-time as a self-media. I gained hundreds of thousands of readers in two years and realized commercial realization.
In short, the sense of security of adults is all given by money. Ordinary people in peaceful times only need two things: make money hard and live a good life . Don't talk nonsense.
02
How should we respond in the next 3 years?
As mentioned earlier, we are in a new economic cycle, and the next three years are not optimistic.
But that’s not to say that there are no opportunities at all. Although the Internet is dead, isn’t there still new energy, electric vehicles, localization of software, short videos, high-end manufacturing, and the current AI industry . Whether it is employment or starting a business, please choose the above-mentioned related industries as much as possible. These are the "current Internet industries".
So, every era has opportunities for every era.
After the industry is finished, let's talk about individuals. Most of my readers are professionals, here are some of my suggestions:
1. Focus on strategic resources and deepen the main business . Huawei has a slogan that says it well: Don't consume strategic resources at non-strategic opportunities. It means focusing and becoming a top talent in a certain field. Because no matter how the external environment changes, you are the core asset of the company. Even if the general manager is fired, you will not be fired.
2. Start a sideline business . Maybe you will say that just after talking about focusing, you asked people to start a side job. Aren’t you contradicting yourself? It does not mean that everyone is suitable for a sideline business. There are prerequisites. Generally speaking, if the main business is stable and there is no prospect of development, it is very suitable for a sideline business .
For example, like Liu Cixin, an engineer in a state-owned power plant, who doesn't know how to make connections, can see his career development at a glance; or brother D, like the previous article, is an old employee of a large factory with no hope of promotion, and the company supports him.
What kind of sideline business to start depends on your own situation, and it is not easy to give general suggestions.
3. Make money hard and save money hard . There is a saying that we are about to follow in the footsteps of Japan and enter a "low-desire society". I personally am not so pessimistic. However, in the next few years, it is the safest strategy to earn money, save money, and preserve assets.
03
How did I make these predictions?
Because of being an executive in a listed company, I have met many top people in the industry, including some industry leaders you are familiar with, political and business celebrities, and academic leaders, so the information I receive is relatively new and accurate.
In addition, I am a self-media, and I have tens of thousands of WeChat friends (I have 5 accounts), many of which come from the most authentic front-line revelations.
Combining these sources of information can basically analyze one thing more thoroughly.
However, some views are sharp and not suitable for dissemination in mass media, so I wrote these thoughts and insights in my "Technology Leadership Planet ", which is a private community where I communicate with hardcore readers.
In addition to seeing my sharing on the planet, you can also ask me questions unlimited times, and I will give you the most valuable advice, so that you will have fewer detours. In addition, I have rich resources in the industry, whether it is job hunting, recruitment, or starting a business, I will do my best to help you.
04
Who is suitable to join the planet?
If you are a student or a newcomer to the workplace, then the planet may not be suitable for you . What you have to do now is to accept the company's newcomer training and master the basic skills required for the job.
If you have several years of work experience and want to get rich in a short period of time, I will also persuade you to quit . Because no one can guarantee what kind of results your personal development will achieve. If so, then this person is probably a liar, and I advise you to stay away from him as soon as possible.
If you are a professional, engaged in technology, products, operations, etc., have more than 3 years of work experience, are planning to further improve yourself professionally or in management, and suffer from no one to guide you, then this planet will help you .
In the planet, it is a learning method in which a master leads an apprentice . If you have any doubts, you can ask. I will share my knowledge and insights without reservation, and lead you to keep improving.

3. Expand contacts and improve the circle
There is a saying that makes sense: what kind of circle you mix in determines what kind of height you have in life.
People in the workplace usually don’t socialize very much, and the circle is relatively narrow.

There are many bigwigs from Ali, Tencent, Byte, Meituan, and Huawei in the planet. There are also many job opportunities that are recommended internally.
