Lately the tendency to become entrepreneurs feel an increased marked by a variety of training and the emergence of various institutions that make themselves available to encourage and train someone to be an entrepreneur.
This is a very encouraging development. More and more entrepreneurs, the more jobs are available and a growing number of unemployed could be absorbed. Currently unemployment in Indonesia has reached 11 million. If we assume every effort to recruit at least two employees, so if you grow one million entrepreneurs, will be available 2 million jobs. With the employers, the government will be helped to provide employment. We know that the government also has its limitations. The emergence of entrepreneurs will greatly assist the government.
With full employment, then the purchasing power will increase and ultimately reduce poverty. Today we still have 40 million poor people, a very large amount. If a worker to support a wife and a son, then at least 3 million people were helped by the presence of an entrepreneur. Therefore, the number of employers should be increased again so that more people were helped.
On the other hand, employers also a contributor to government tax. As we know, our budget is 70% financed by taxes. If the number of employers the more so, the amount of state revenue will increase and the more the government can do for society.
For the entrepreneur himself, the way I feel, much more could be achieved than when I was still an employee. This paper will help readers who want to learn how to become entrepreneurs.
The first thing to do is overcome her fear of becoming entrepreneurs. Most people are reluctant to become entrepreneurs for fear of bankruptcy, fear deceived and others. The point is the fear of risk to be faced. When in fact, whatever we do is basically at risk. For example: we cross the street, there is a risk of getting hit by. As a person endowed with reason, of course we will not cross at random. Similarly, an entrepreneur, we can minimize risk by good management. If we do not bear a great risk, we can choose a smaller risk. And it is better to start from something small
The second is about the capital. A lot of people off to be an entrepreneur because it has no capital. Real capital is important but not primary. The main one is the idea. Any money will not make a profit if it has no idea. I can give you money 1 billion today, but if you do not have a business idea, then that money will run out slowly or quickly. Conversely, if someone has an idea, then the money will come by itself. Many entrepreneurs who start with no capital at all, and eventually banks scramble to offer equity to him.
To start a business, once again not the money it needs capital. Choose a business you do not need the money to get started. We can learn from the vendors selling but buying with cash paid in the rear. So there is no capital money. If you do need the money, while you do not have money, use other people’s money. Pretty simple. The problem was just how you use the ‘capital’ God-given, your body and your mind to wear other people’s money.
Capital the second is courage. Starting from now, you dared to dream. Maybe it’s a bit weird, but the world has shown that many scientific discoveries based on dreams and fantasy. The cars now comes from a childhood fantasy. When dreams and fantasies come true, success has been waiting in front of the eye.
Furthermore, a different courage. Amid a competitive market, the difference is important. If you make something similar to your competitors, then the product or service you chances to share with your competitors. Something different is the added value. Differently, the advantage will be greater. Look around, what is the problem or need around you. Thus you will understand the market before launching a product or service.
If you have trouble finding a business that is really new, does not need to be discouraged because you can choose a business that still has growth prospects in the future. One is a business in the telecommunications sector. You do not have to think to establish a new operator because it’s not the ‘toy’ is appropriate for beginners, but look at the telecommunications business chain from upstream to downstream. See also business related to the telecommunications sector, as indeed the eyes of the chain business is very long.
Next prepare the courage to start. The sooner will be better. Like the queue, the first will get first chance. Throw your doubts, because if you are always doubtful, then you will never start, and you do not know whether you will succeed or fail. If you never start, then you can not learn how to avoid failure and you have never experienced success as well. You will just keep thinking, without ever trying to make you think. Our Association seeks a senior, Mr. Purdie E. Chandra has the Entrepreneur College has a simple method of starting. We do not think anything, we just do it as easily as we pee in the toilet. We never thought about how to enter the toilet, we also never thought about how to urinate, whether or not the rhythm. Just like that happened and finished. We are a successful bowel movement. We never thought about whether we will fail in the waste water, right? If we fail to pee, we live to eat papaya. Gitu aja koq bother?
Even if the middle of the journey there is a failure, it is very unusual. Thus we have the experience, let’s just say it is the school fees. Better we fail at the beginning rather than fail in the end. Founder and owner of KFC, has failed 19 times to assure that delicious fried chicken and behavior prior to finally see the road to success. Likewise Puspo Wardoyo failed in its original place and start a business Ayam Bakar Wong Solo, Medan.
If we do not have experience when starting a business, is something that is reasonable. Experience will be obtained in the course of business. No one is suddenly an expert in any field, all through the learning process. Unfortunately there is no school to be an entrepreneur, so trial and error to be one of the most frequently used methods. If you pass it the success that you achieve, if not, then your success will be delayed. The success of an entrepreneur is determined by how many times he was more awake than failure.
If it gets here, there is still a doubt to start a business, I’m afraid you do not already have an entrepreneur mindset. Mindset is a mindset. A businessman saw obstacles as opportunities. When people have a culture of lazy urban areas and have limited time to wash, an entrepreneur set up a laundry business. With this mindset, an entrepreneur can struggle and survive. From now adjust as your mindset. If the mindset is already awake, then you will have a lot of sense, thinking is not linear and is able to solve all problems.
There is a slogan, it’s better to be the ant’s head than the elephants. By becoming entrepreneurs, we become the head, not the tail. Is then our bodies large or small, of course depending on how we manage our business. With the increasingly rapid advancement of management science, the more easily manage the company’s management. So you ventured into the head.
Your financial history may be a bit spotty, but that does not mean you should be denied an education – especially if getting an education will help you to improve your status in life. The problem is that it is a bit more difficult to get student loan with a poor credit score.
