Right Attitude to Starting a Business

Starting a business is a private matter that scary at the same time interesting. Why? On the one hand, this can cause great risk. On the other hand, big chance in life also awaits. Consequently, when a reasonable person - you say -? to be curious, what is involved is when we start a business, and what steps can make this a success.

I have the answer to this: find some way from the conventional way, does not need to do directly in the right way. Be creative people, flexible and responsive to rapid changes that occur with information about the market and the events that just happened.

When observed, the people who run a private business often discuss some important issues. The most frequently: What is the purpose of their time? Yes, what the purpose of doing this time? They also ask, what I want in life? Where are my 10 years? Type of income such as that which I desire?

Here, I hasur indicate, the goal is not a private matter trivial. You must have a personal purpose or to know who really important to you. This is important, because business is not something that requires?

So, ask yourself on whether you're doing something you want to do. Ask also, if you work with people you want to work together to do this? What return on investment is as expected? When the show does not feel happy, you will not be a good businessman.

After personal goals, your business idea is to be accompanied by personal desire to launch and operate it. Personal desire must be part of what you want in life. If not, believe, all the ideas that does not mean you remove it at all, and do not expect to change the existing business into a successful business.

Now, say you know the purpose of personal and very eager. So, where should get started?

Do not faint. Work experience is part of a business idea. For example, if you want to open a restaurant and have not been working in this world before, makes sense when you first work on other people. In this way, you will avoid making a mistake in the calculation of the cost. Or, so do not even make the restaurant business after working there and understand the operation, so you know the restaurant is not the type of business you want to run as a private business.

Besides experience, the knowledge base is also one of the entrance to start your business. Here, you must have a concept or idea that you know more rather than other people. Insting or is not a substitute for the feeling of knowledge. You can get a basic knowledge of these natural features with relevant work experience or business. It can also be a lot to ask, listen, read, or do research.

Irrespective of whether it is the experience or knowledge base, that, in most people, melimpahnya the idea to start a new business often comes at the same desire: to become rich quickly. Is it?

I tend to start that business with the attitude like that is not the right thing. Indeed, money is important. And the money will come later as we desire, after going through a hard business. However, we ask the world, for that matter, such as whether intrinsic appreciation that you will receive for all of your business?

According to me, the first step when starting a business is personal: do it all with the should! Give the people something that is required. In this way, believe you will continue to be valued even though perhaps you do not generate a lot of money in the first place. I think this is an inner vision. And, not your own can not always motivated to produce a profit?

Many benefits can be obtained with all do well. This attitude will make you have a commitment to success. This attitude also makes you continue to move from the current situation to be better from day to day so that you can also designate someone to be a rich idea, bervisi, and able to implement something better rather than the person that you may see is the best form at this time. In short, this attitude makes you the person who is not satisfied with the work of average (average), but people who are satisfied with doing something that big (superior).

This is the attitude that it is important when starting a business time. And, if you feel have it, you start a business reasonable time. So, what are you waiting for?

4 Capital Becomes Entrepreneur (But Not Money)

Inspiration from the Entrepreneur

Reports by Mansur Hayat

Despite many cases of corruption and other issues, our economy can keep the country running. This, of course, have the blessing of the people-mover that does not depend on the regulations and the government. They rarely know who this person is called entrepreneur. This is some of them and the efforts that have been made to be inspiration and motivation for us.

Wimar Wednesday night's World (28 / 3) to bring the three men entrepreneur Bob Sadino (supermarket owner Kem Chicks), Hadrijanto Satyanegara (PR Manager Patrakom), and Fred Hehuwat (one of the founders of the Foundation ASHOKA Indonesia). They are people who do not despair even motivated and give an example to us. Following snippet of their conversation with Wimar Witoelar.

Four Capital Entrepreneur

Wimar: He said, your first party, and how you can be up to the entrepreneur to open a supermarket?

Bob: Sederhana course. I first worked in the Netherlands and around Europe. When to return to Indonesia, having a speech impediment I see here is different from having a speech impediment that I see in Europe.

Wimar: What's the difference?

Bob: What shapes. So, I ask that you can find chicken bertelor.

Wimar: Are you at that time experts have chicken or having a speech impediment?

Bob: One of the factors I like to be at this time because I am fortunate not to know anything.

Wimar: Do you have many friends in the bank that can provide capital?

Bob: Bank only to save it

Wimar: So do not correct people need capital to build new business.

Bob: What is the capital? Many people only translate capital is only objects that can be seen and measured course, the main money. In fact there is capital that can not be seen. This capital grip for a person to become the entrepreneur,

1. Must have the will
2. A determination that globular
3. Courage to take the opportunity. There are a million opportunities out there, including in our own bodies

Wimar: Bob, I met many people who want to become enterpreuner. He said, is difficult because the climate is not conducive, the regulation does not stand on employers. How is Bob?

Bob: The three factors before making someone not to enter into enterpreuner. The fourth is that you do not sloppy and resistant rock.

Take advantage of technology

Wimar: We switch to Hadrijanto. Your company provides telecommunications facilities in remote company. How can your company doing business in remote areas?

Hadrijanto: We see there are limited business opportunities and advice, particularly in telecommunications outside Java Island. They have needs and sometimes they have money. Telecommunications is not a secondary but more needs are primary. Therefore, we are working to help provide telecommunications facilities in remote areas.

Wimar: How much and where for example?

Hadrijanto: In East Kalimantan hinterland as in Samarinda, Tabang. If the current number of around 150 units

Wimar: So remote areas because they have wireless. So is satellite.

Hadrijanto: Yes, we are a small shop telecommunications satellite (Wartelsat).

Wimar: The key here expensive but can be done and why people do not pay expensive. So, who is to give support so that this is available?

Hadrijanto: the fact that support the technology. We have the technology. We do engineering technology in it so that we can. The quality that can not reach, such as cyber or subscription, but for remote areas in order to have sufficient means of telecommunication.

Wimar: What will the investment return of the money?

Hadrijanto: Maybe not, but we try again to reach break point only event. That is good.

Wimar: That may be the difference between a company where you work with Bob Sadino. If Bob, that is pure entrepreneur and investment money back. While you have the investment and return in the form of a fun community.

Social Entrepreneur ASHOKA

Wimar: This is the third Fred Hehuwat. In 1983 he established the Foundation ASHOKA Indonesia. I know because mendirikannya participated, but I do not know kelanjutannya. ASHOKA use the concept of social entrepreneur. What is the concept that what is done and Ashoka at this time?

Fred: If we usually associate with economic activities. Indeed, the birth of the term social entrepreneur from Ashoka. If we compare the economic sector and the industrial development is very advanced the field of social and health education as behind. If we see the conditions in Indonesia, the social conditions that are very severe. Who handles this? Usually we put out hope in the government. We all know many government keterbatasannya. If this does not have a shortcut that created the situation the longer the lag.

Wimar: What is the person who built ASHOKA?

Fred: We build people who have programs entrepreneur. Initially, someone saw the situation, the field, has a brilliant idea, have the ability to finish the problem, does not depend on facilities, and so forth, then the bright idea that will help us. We find people like that.

Wimar: How many people have been built since 1989?

Fred: Now there are about 140 people in Indonesia.

Wimar: This concept international. If the concept of international examples, we may better understand the social entrepreneur?

Fred: If we see a top social entrepreneur is Muhammad Yunus of Bangladesh with the Grameen program so Banknya reach Nobel prize. The idea that the most unique and good.

Wimar: If I read in your brochure, ASHOKA also engaged in many areas. How do I overcome the obstacles that occur there?

Fred: I think they will not be anything but wait to see the situation. Possibility-probability different. Kendalanya also different. So they should not wait for something from the outside. Grow from their own ideas, "Oh, the situation here. This I can do."

Wimar: How do you choose who it will be built?

Fred: I think we really memilah-milah mainly based on the assessment,

1. Is it a new idea?
2. Are people who do that, according to our assessment, have the ability?
3. How do these ideas impact? If the impact is not small, we are interested.

Wimar: If Bob Sadino 50 years ago that was when the youth, can be an option if ASHOKA? Whether conditions exist in the self that Bob sought ASHOKA?

Fred: Perhaps nature is-so, but may not field. Bob certainly want to be commercially successful, while the value is how we impact on social life.

Alfi (caller from Bekasi): I am very interested in the foundation ASHOKA Indonesia. How do I control mechanisms against those who supported as entrepreneur in ASHOKA?

Wimar: So the question how good the intention may be controlled?

Fred: First, we have quite a network that can provide information to us. Second, how we monitor the development of next of people who supported. ASHOKA Lo does not want to own a lot of control. If the entrepreneur want to develop should not be too many, so we only monitor it.

Impact of Changes in Government

Wimar: We have been experiencing drastic changes of government since 1998 until now. If compared with the previous situation, if there are differences in the changes for each field of entrepreneur?

Fred: It's different. To establish our first ASHOKA must mengumpet-umpet. Now it is very liberal

Bob: Yes there are differences. But I'm not interested from the first with the government. I just do not want us too many set-set that because I know about is my business.

Hadrijanto: If we see better now because the regulations supporting far better and attitudes of local friends are also more open.

Entrepreneurship, FOR ALL PEOPLE?

Entrepreneurship has become not easy.
But that be not as many people,
because every person in the study entrepreneurship.

According to Poppy King, a young entrepreneur from Australia to the field of business since the age of 18 years, there are three things that always faced an entrepreneur in any field, namely: first, obstacle (obstacle); second, hardship (trouble); third, very rewarding life (or reward for the results of the life). And I agree entirely with that statement. Therefore I think that entrepreneurship is in a certain limit for all people. Why?

I think a lot of reasons to say it. First, each person has a goal, dream, or at least hope to improve the quality of his life as a man. This is the kind of "sixth sense" that encourages people to work normally and tried. "Intuition" is associated with one of the potential of humanity, namely power creative imagination.

Because humans are the only creature that God's creation, among others, has a creative imagination power, he can use them to think. The mind can be directed to the past, the present and the future. With thinking, he can find the answers to important questions like: Where did I come from? Where I am at this time? And Where will I go? And whether I will inherit the world?

Browsing personal history in the past can provide the strength and weakness of a person. There are a number of experiences of life: obstacles and difficulties that we face and how we address them, failure and success, fun and keperihan, and others. However, because everything is passed, then not much more that can be done to change all that. We have to accept it and give it the meaning of the right and put it in a perspective of the present and the future (Harefa: Success Without a Degree, Gramedia Pustaka Utama, 1998, page.3-7).

Narrative of the present real situation where we are, what we have, not what we have, what we enjoy, and what we can not enjoy, what the duties and responsibilities and what we become our human rights as a human , and others. With the presence we realize at this time, we can be grateful or complain, we can berpuas themselves determine the target or the next, and so on.

The future to provide hope, at least so should those who believe berkepercayaan. When we have a past that is not fun, and still are on the situation and conditions that have not been in accordance with the ideals of our dream, or, it is reasonable if we expect a better future, brighter, more fun. For as long as there is still tomorrow, all possibilities are still wide open (irrespective of pessimism or optimism about it).

It is clear that the past, the present and the future directly with the relative power our imagination. And in the times that all obstacles (obstacle), difficulty (hardship), and the joy or happiness (very rewarding life) mixed with a mixed one. So, if Poppy King said that the third thing that is faced by an entrepreneur in any field, it is not that means that entrepreneurship is for all people? What people on earth who did not face obstacles and difficulties to achieve the ideals and dreams?

The second is that entrepreneurship is basically for all people is because it can be learned. Peter F. Drucker, for example, never write in Innovation and Entrepreneurship that, "Every person who has the courage to make decisions, can learn to be entrepreneurial, and behave like entrepreneurship. For (or so) is a more entrepreneurial behavior of the symptoms of the personality, the essence lies in the concept and theory, not on intuition. " And behavior, concepts, and theories are things that can also be learned by anyone. Throughout we are willing to open the heart and mind to learn, the opportunity to become entrepreneurial remain open. Throughout the study we realize that the substance is an ongoing process, which does not always mean that begins and ends at a certain school or university, but it can be done for life, anywhere, anytime (I call this the Great School of Life), the study can be done berwirausaha by anyone, although no means must be entrepreneurial "big."

The third reason is due to the fact history shows us that the most successful entrepreneur who is essentially even ordinary people. Sabeer Bathia, a digital entrepreneur who launched hotmail.com on 4 July 1996, the new case after he act to people like Steve Jobs, inventor personal computer (Apple). And awareness that makes it quite confident when the set price penemuannya worth 400 million U.S. dollars to Bill Gates, owner of Microsoft, who is also a normal human being.

Fourth reason that I want to mention here is because after learning tips-trick dozens of successful entrepreneurial small, medium and large, in the context of local-national-regional and international-global-world, then I reach the conclusion that the secret of success, they trick is very simple . In the book from Berwirausaha Zero say that I have them:
... .. driven by the ideas and dreams,
... .. rely more on creativity,
... .. show courage,
... .. believe in hockey, but more believe in the real business,
... .. see problems as opportunities,
... .. choose appropriate business interests and hobbies,
... .. start with a capital pickup,
... .. happy to try new things,
... .. always arise from a failure, and
... .. do not rely on academic degrees.
Ten tips success is simple in principle, does not require those extraordinary. People with high IQ, medium, low until you can (learn) to do so.

Fifth reason is because the entrepreneurial drive people to the leadership. And leadership is to all people (Harefa: act on Sun, Gramedia Pustaka Utama, 1998; also Harefa: Being Human learners, Kompas, 2000).

With five simple reasons above, I want to emphasize that entrepreneurship is for all people. I do not believe in the theory or the concept that the Chinese people that bleed can be successful berwirausaha (this view believed some people in Indonesia). For so how do we explain the success of the people of Aceh, Batak, Minang Kabau, Lampung, Sumatra, Lombok, and the other indigenous berwirausaha also successful? I also do not support the theory of Max Weber that the Protestant place as ingenious entrepreneur without equal (although the context for the United States and Europe may be true). For how he explains the success of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship in Asia and the Middle East is not a Protestant? The success of Taiwan and Singapore by Lee Teng-hui and the Lee Kuan Yew stated as "impact" Confucianism ethics?

But I agree when Anugerah Pekerti, former Director PPM Institute of Management, defines entrepreneurship as a response to business opportunities that revealed in a set of measures and work out a business organization that melembaga, productive and innovative. I also concur with Howard H. Stevenson, former President of Harvard Business School who understand entrepreneurship as a pattern of behavior management in an integrated effort the opportunities that are available without ignoring the resources it has. I support the opinion that the opportunity Drucker is the exact definition for entrepreneurship and that an entrepreneur must allocate resources from the areas that deliver low or declining to areas that deliver high or increasing.

Richard Cantillon, the first person to use the term entrepreneur in the early 18-century, said that the entrepreneur is someone who bear the risk. He was correct. Joseph Schumpeter is also true when it is said that the entrepreneurial innovators production. And said that entrepreneurship is an impersonator, as the William H. Sahlman, also harmless. But I personally prefer the view Jose Carlos Jarillo-Mossi that the entrepreneur is someone who felt the opportunity, pursue opportunities in accordance with the situation themselves, and believe that success is a matter that can be achieved.

Entrepreneurship is for all people. All the potential to become entrepreneurial. But whether he is successful entrepreneur, half-successful, or fail, that is another. Just like the people who can potentially become the president does not become president of all real, while the chance meeting does not become president (as Gus Dur beloved, for example) would become a successful president. This means, among other things, there is no concept or theory that is absolute, but also about entrepreneurship. There is also the theory that any posts submitted via this short.
