Being a successful entrepreneur is one alternative
in fetch a sustenance. Unfortunately, very few are interested at it. Compared
to Singapore or other ASEAN neighbors, the percentage of business people in
Indonesia is still small. Work or be an employee is still an option number one.
Why? One reason is that many people say that entrepreneurship is not easy and
high risk. "I can not business" This is a sentence that sounded so
familiar when we're talking about business. Of course other than: "I do
not have any capital".
Why Being Success Entrepreneurship looks like
difficult?
If we work, our daily work will focus in our office.
For example: if you are in the marketing department, then your job to focus on
work related to marketing. In contrast to the business, we handle all the work
should start from the procurement of products, marketing, finance, and others.
So it looks very difficult business. This is a false assumption.
This assumption is caused by thinking: everything
must be done alone. Let us learn from Henry Ford. He was not an expert in
making cars. But he was able to produce a quality car and in large quantities.
The key to becoming a successful entrepreneur is: do not do it all yourself.
The steps to be successful entrepreneurs include:
- Have enough
knowledge about your business.
Although you do not
have to do yourself, but you need to have enough knowledge about your business.
The first knowledge of how to run a business. Second, knowledge about the
product or service that you will provide.
- Prepare or
design a system to run this business.
according to Robert T.
Kiyosaki, the difference between the businessman with the merchant is the
systems. So, design the system how to run a business properly and the business
can run even without your presence.
- Find people
to run this system
If your system is
already well design, you'll know what people like, what skills, and how many
people to the system running properly.
- Make sure
your system is running well
Because you are a
business owner, then you are responsible for whether or not a system. Your
ability to lead the people in your business will play a big role here.
So you do not have to
be everything. No need to do everything. the important thing is the idea,
designing the system, recruiting, and leadership.
