Business

Open your eyes

If you feel that your obstacle of success is caused by the environmental constraints, usually you will start blaming the situation, companies and others. Your narrow mind makes you become not sensitive about the world situation that changes, and makes you end with no solution. Now, begin to evaluate yourself and determine the focus and purpose that brings positive change for yourself and others.

1. Jobs and Skills
Your job and skills are your source of wealth to generate right business ideas. The work you had long been elaborated and the skills you had developed will shape your business instincts. Many people start their own business from their earlier work that they had mastered.

Not all things you did in the past are something that is ancient. In fact there are things which, if its developed properly, will make you as someone who is very expert in it. Example of a kindergarten teacher who can develop themselves by opening a daycare in the business center.

2. From Interests and Hobbies
Interests and hobbies are effective enough to build your confidence and strong motivation to become independent. People do not feel burdened when doing the activities they enjoyed, especially those which related to interests and hobbies. Many former athletes become successful sports coaches, they can open their own sports shops, and so forth.

For example is Alan Budikusuma and his wife who reached success by making own brand products of sports equipment. They are doing something they love, badminton.

3. From Experience
Your own experience or someone’s can be the best teacher and a source of business ideas. Bad experience seems hard to forget, then we will seek to find new ways to overcome them. This will open the chance of some new interesting idea.

Experience in helping parents working in the cloves plantation, can help the child to become an expert in distinguishing the best cloves from the good. Experience in a childhood becomes a source of his livelihood now.

4. From Observations
Observing something that happens around you can become a business opportunities. This observation is needed for those who wants to become independence. An identification of unmet need could lead you to find business opportunities that could be developed.

We are too busy and pay less attention to interesting things around us. A housewife who is now a successful entrepreneur by transforming waste plastic, which had been used for dish soap or softener packaging, to become an umbrella or a beautiful bag.

Someone who refused to renew his work in ways that no longer produce, act like people who continue to squeeze the straw to get the coconut milk.
