Again the stacked newspapers were
brought to the table, followed by searching for magazines, tabloids, and books
that have long been piled up in the house. Turned back and forth, looked for
articles about the business to find the right ingredients. Hoping there will be
courage emerged inside to open a business. Still, it is considered
lacking.
The last move to foster
entrepreneurial courage is to Google, starting from what business is suitable
for us, suitable with time we have only during weekend, suitable with our
savings at the bank, suitable with our hobbies, suitable with our skills,
suitable with our experience, suitable with our colleagues and relations, and
last but not least, suitable with our family (wife & child). When a
suitable match is found and choices can be chosen, the next step is to increase
your education by attending seminars or further seminars, workshops, talk
shows, discussions and tracking so many titles, writings in magazines, tabloids
and newspapers. With certainty we will start a business start a business by making a plan (business
plan), schedule and pattern of the grand opening, plan for determine the
standard quality of subordinates, plan for subordinate training, plan for a
place that is suitable and strategic, and all the bad things that should be
planned thoroughly and in detail.
Then start making financial
planning by calculation operational costs, from renting a space, investment
in desks, chairs, machinery, tools, equipments, transportations, etc. From
these calculations, prices was determined, which aside from all those
components, also included bank interest and sufficient margin.
The preparation was so thorough, the
plan was prepared along with solution (problem solving) from option 2, 3, 4, up
to 10, if option 1 fails. Even the plan has been made really thoroughly that if
the business turns out to be growing rapidly, paperwork has been made: rules
for employees, family members who will invest their money and including
thorough study on how to apply for additional capital to finances.
Everything was prepared, analyzed
carefully, and a model was made after it; and it would take roughly 6 months to
actually make it perfect. Then it comes down to one question: What guarantee
that the business would be successful with such thorough planning? And the
all answer with confidence: There is no guarantee. Why?
Because planning too thoroughly is
not the characteristic of the brave. What will happen is, if you overcook
something, it becomes charred, or if you ended up burned it up, it could tun
into ashes (Entrepreneurs need to have strong mental and courage)
- Entrepreneur does not have a thorough or detailed plan. They have intuition and ability to resolve problem that arises accordingly. (because facing unpredictable problems is a learning process)
- The so-called perfect plan does not exist in business world
- Perfect plan can only be made by experts (consultant) in each of their respective field (human resource, advertising, marketing, etc)
- Perfect plan only executed by investor. Mindset and actions mention above only done by investors.
- Do not act and plan as if you are an investor, if you only have the money to run a business in a scale of local street stall.
From these reasons above, we must
realize that everyone wants to achieve a better future in life. To avoid the
future where our body is weaken and we are not able to work and there is no
income, yet living cost is higher, namely the time when we are 55 or above,
pensioner. Too many entrepreneurial learners stranded and have no more courage
to try because of the apparent and deterrent experience, which is due to the
behavior of imitating the style of investors, namely by starting to invest
(your savings) because your family or friends persuaded you with a fast return
and impossible profits, makes you consider investment as a side income, makes
you consider a small business income is a side business. This unconsciously
resulted in us putting aside all issues and doubts that arose related to the
money we invested, and most likely ended up the collapse of the business or our
investment being taken away by fraudsters or our inability to withdrawn our
profits in exchange for our investment in a business. If you as an employee
succeed at the same time in both career and entrepreneurship, what needs to be
done is:
- Be assured that to be able to organize the future of your business is not an easy thing like turning your palm
- Get rid of your easily embarrassed, feeling inferior attitude. Instead have an attitude of humility, a little frugality, a little more patient, a little more disciplined, a little more tenacious (hard work), a little more rigid (not whiny)
- Build a business with measurable capital because learning needs to sacrifice time, money, energy, mind, etc (it does not necessarily have to be a lot of money even if you have it)
- Build your intuition and entrepreneurial spirit by running a business with energy, mind, and family. Remember, experience will not come suddenly but it takes time. Master your efforts from A-Z even though you still have to consult others later on.

Change your mindset from “Experience
is the most valuable teacher” to "Find and learn the even the smallest
experience" by opening your eyes and heart as wide and wide as possible to
gain experience from those who succeed.
- Look for mentors, teachers and so on so that you do not always seek your own justification.
- Start opening a business and always look for and follow training simultaneously to help you solve all the problems that arise and plan development better.
- Sharpen your ability to oversee, imitate and modify or improve everything.
Once
again, overcook = charred = burnt = ash.
Good luck.
