Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting with a friend who was once a senior leader in the Public Security Bureau but has since embarked on a new entrepreneurial journey, creating an e-bike brand. Our conversation spanned an entire afternoon, and as entrepreneurs venturing into a different industry to establish a brand, we discovered a wealth of shared perspectives and valuable insights.
My friend emphasized that the essence of brand building invariably circles back to the core product. To build a successful brand, one must push the product to its limits, striving for excellence. A company’s strategic direction must be spot-on; otherwise, all collective efforts go to waste. It’s essential to differentiate between a production-oriented mindset and a product-oriented one. Employers should refrain from burdening their employees; it suffices for them to perform their duties well during working hours without encroaching upon their precious rest time. Fostering a happy work environment is key to enhancing overall productivity.
Building a brand is a time-consuming endeavor and relies on the foundation of outstanding products. Furthermore, effective post-sales service is indispensable. The question of how to build a brand brings forth the notion that aesthetic sensibility is innate – either you possess it, or you do not.
I inquired about the origin of his brand’s name, and his response was thought-provoking and deeply attuned to the psychology of consumers. I couldn’t help but admire him as a vibrant and creative individual, devoid of any concept of retirement. He firmly believes that life must always be lived with purpose.
A self-taught product manager with an engineering background, my friend conveyed a palpable sense of fluidity, vitality, and strength when discussing his product. Those who have experienced the rigors of product development, from research and development to software, hardware, exterior design, mold creation, prototyping, and production, understand the considerable time, energy, and expertise demanded at each stage.
Furthermore, in observing him, I detected a genuine love for what he does, an unwavering dedication, and a focused gaze – all attributes of a true professional.
In conclusion, my meeting with this entrepreneurial friend served as a profound reminder of the dedication and passion required to successfully venture into uncharted territories, establish a brand, and create products that resonate with the market.
