Successful Youth Indonesian Entrepreneur; Don’t be late, Take action now!
Recently ,topic about entrepreneurship was being discussed in mass media. Even though,this is a very ironic issue that happening in this country which is only about 0,18 percent’s of the total population of us who become entrepreneurs ,if we compare with other countries like China 16.4%, Brazil 12.7% and United States 9.6% of the total population of those who become entrepreneurs .What is wrong with us? Do we have to blame the government or to ourselves about this? The most correct answer is from us, we have to change our priorities mindset that want to be public servants and let’s start thinking critically to start a business. In addition one funny example of why people like to be a public servant is a little funny the which still Occurs especially in the Javanese society that if they have suitor who’s work in government sector or as bureaucrat, it can make-they prouder than who have not got work as a civil servants or to be entrepreneur.
Became an entrepreneur is heavy but nothing to lose to try and come on ,if you became an entrepreneur is very promising, one of the beneficial which is we can become a useful for another person , for instances if we open a simple business supplier of vegetables and fruits, indirectly we contribute reduce unemployment ,how villagers proud to us because we can to be someone who can be useful for others and help them to get a job.Not only that at least we can make our parents proud smile to us.This is the beginning to be hot issue concerned by the government towards creating activities that can foster an entrepreneurial spirit for example provide financial helping through bank or other financial institution , create entrepreneur competition every year and hold some training to young generation to have creative skills .Moreover the encouragement come from company who aware about entrepreneur with a container for the entrepreneur to think creative ideas such as Mekar and GEPI.
In fact ,If we feel about the entrepreneurial climate in Indonesia was began to have a pretty good progress with supported good economic growth which is 6 percent every year and also appear local success entrepreneur for example, now come a lot of Indonesian product brands such as Burger Blenger, grilled chicken Mas Mono, J-Co donuts and etc. Hal it be a good signal for the growing number of Indonesian entrepreneurs.Nowadays,existing mindset began to change on head people – people they began to realize that being an entrepreneur it is the first step to achieving financial independent.Ini not escape the role of mass media expose the profiles of entrepreneurs who success.We think if we do not take action from now and just weigh up and always counting the successful possibility when opening a business, it is just a waste time of an opportunity to get a lucky.Bob Sadino said that”if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, just do it and started to take action from now ”
We have a lot of the example of successful entrepreneurs who they can freely do anything’s not likely as public servants. Benefits could be an entrepreneur Real side for us which is we can be a Boss, can freely think creative ideas and pursue financial rewards. Even to be an entrepreneur is like an angel who helps people in the dark, why not? We can create new jobs and reduce the amount we contribute Increasing unemployment and great economic growth. Even though, that are not as easy as we imagine all the necessary passion and sacrifice to achieve its. Because of that’s why an entrepreneurs called people who take on the risk or the who undertake a task. We only need intention and passion to do that, for example not everyone can accept and rise from failure, but we need many times it takes to fall up to be a success entrepreneur. In addition the obstacles come from money or capital most of them difficult and do not know how to get its. Especially in Indonesia, sometimes have an idea but difficult to realize our dream and grow because there is no capital to run that .But, it’s actually not a big issue anymore, many avenues to get it, a lot of institutions and programs from government and private that support this.
The last but not least, it is the point that there are some points where I gathered from experience and reading go to some point to create intentions and characteristic to be successful entrepreneur is we should have passion for the business, it is the first thing that we should to do.This passion typically stems from the entrepreneur’s belief that will positively influences the business people lives.Passion is particularly important for entrepreneur that a firm determine succes or failure.In addition ,we also should understand the most effective business ideas take hold our passion is consistent with our skills and is in a area that represents a legitimate business opportunity.Second Tenacity is despite failure, because we play with big risk, that is trying something new, the failure rate is naturally high. A great new business may require a certain degree of failure before success is attained. Finally, there is a will there is a way, to be successful entrepreneur must be positive thinking and have fighting spirit and “Don’t be late, take action now!”
