To be a
successfull entrepreneur is not easy. Every people who start they own business have
been fail in their business. I want to take an example for a successful entrepreneur
from my college. He is Mr. M. Suyanto. He is the fouder of STMIK AMIKOM, the
greatest university in Yogyakarta. He buid AMIKOM from nothing until now the
University has many award in National and International.
I want
to quote from his book “Every One Can Be a Successful Entrepreneur” . In this
book, he says the first thing to become a successful entrepreneur is Positive Mental Attitude. I want
to quote his story from his book. “My experience using positive mental attitude is when I build
AMIKOM Yogyakarta. Before asking permission,
we preparing proposal, start from manage the establishment of the foundation,
making planning main developer, curriculum, and the lecturer. The main problem
is we don’t have any facility and money. The rent building isn’t pay yet, the
computer facility and the library is very limit. AMIKOM is starting without cash money. We’re very
lucky to be guided by Coordinator Kopertis Regional V and his staff. From know
nothing until know ins and outs of the College. After that, we try to
make proposal and then submit to Coordinator Kopertis Regional V”. That’s a
little example for a Positive Mental Attitude from the book.
The second is, we have to Created The Dream and Try To Catch Them.
“After we try to have Positive Mental Attitude, to be an entrepreneur is
created dream and try to catch them. Dream
is the reflection of moment or anything else that appear when you sleep that
not the reality. Created dreams mean that created something is not real or
imaginary, but that dream can created strong energy that cant people imagine”.
The third is Take
a Step to Start Business. “To take a step to start business we have to
try the failure, it’s better than fail to try. After dreaming in business, must
be step to catch that dream step by step. This is the hardest part of being an
entrepreneur , so the entrepreneur in Indonesia is only 1,2% of the
population. It can be says that from 100
people, only one or two people can take a step. The other hand have no balls to
start it. Most of them can’t be an entrepreneur because imagine the failure
first. Whereas the first step is the most important. It’s like
the locomotive pull out the stop car/train. It take a super power so it
can move, but when it has move the power needs to running is reduce. So with
the business, the hardest part it is to start it, but when it start, its more
easy”.
