let's starts on business

Cash daily headlines yesterday reported about the demonstration of thousands of employees SingTel requires the enactment of employee-employer agreements that have been agreed.

A day earlier, on the same day, his headline reads "After Indosat, XL Axiata also reduce the hundreds of permanent staff".

What is this?

Telecommunications business field, which in recent years is good-good, is rapidly growing, problems with employees?

I am not here to defend the employee or the company. I just want to tell, I've been in the position of employees who are suddenly laid off. The company I worked for seven years since after graduating, was suddenly closed by the head office in Houston, United States. The announcement that the company will be closed only one month before the date of closure. What we want? Demo to the central office? What are our rights? Actions Houston headquarters to branch offices Jakarta when it might be the same as management shut unprofitable divisions and cost. It is normal in the industrial world.



The second experience happened to my wife about a year ago. Company where she worked when it was being downsizing. Exactly a month after he came back after the sabbatical hamilnya, he can mail layoffs. And that's exactly a month before he was fit to have 3-year tenure. Limit an employee gets money for more services in the company where she worked.

Very true stories told Spencer Johnson, MD in the book of his best-seller "Who Moved My Cheese". To you who have not read the book, please buy. This book is great to open our insights about the change. For brevity while being able to read a summary here.

We feel our job is safe. It turned out we could be laid off by companies in which we work anytime. We feel our company is safe. Turned out to be bankrupt, or closed by the central office or closed by the board of commissioners at any time. Never mind the local companies, a world-class champion giant in his field such as Nokia and RIM Blackberry, was not spared from the downsizing.

Not only the company, a country could go bankrupt. Developed countries in Europe, which some time ago so glorious, now one by one to struggle against bankruptcy. Even the United States, the superpower of the world, is struggling somersaults country faces economic crisis. Something which we think of as comfort zone, comfort was not anymore. The world is changing. "Nothing is immortal" Peter Pan.

As someone who had experienced working as an employee for 15 years, as anyone who ever felt the conditions laid off twice in the family, as people who have the status of amphibians-living in two worlds, employees and entrepreneurs, and now as a full-entrepreneurial , I just wanted to invite colleagues who are now the status of employees, let's start entrepreneurship.

For what? Yes, just in case. Just in case. Who knows ... Yeah right!

No need to think too complicated. No need to think too big. Do whatever we can to get started. Think big, but start small. And The Important thing is: Act NOW. We must think big, but awalilah start with small steps. And more important is: action NOW.

Let us build our business part-time. With serious and focused. No more appropriate time than now.

At least we get extra income from the business. Hopefully our efforts to develop, and sometime business that used only as a backup, even can be a primary source of income. With determination and sincerity, maybe once we can let go of the status of our employees, and become a full time entrepreneur. That's what I experienced four months ago. The full I tell here.

Frankly I am not a follower of desperate out of work and open a business. What matters instead is the status that you become an entrepreneur. Even more important is that you have a mental entrepreneur. You may directly out of work and become entrepreneurs, but maybe mentally you are still mentally employees. If your business fails, you can return again to the employee. I've met many people like this. Well, while you are doing business on a part-time, there was also while building your mental businessman.

Why is this important mental? Since the development of our efforts will be comparable to our mental development. There's no way someone who is mentally stunted, but had a great effort.

But the thing is, it is impossible to cultivate mental employers, if we do not begin to open a business right? So .. Think Big, Start Small-Act Now.
