Today is the second day of our opening event National Entrepreneurship Forum in Local Committee Surabaya.
and in this day, the OC give me such a great opportunity for being the moderator of one session
the session is talking about entrepreneurship skill, specifically is about social entrepreneur and about how to lead our business with our heart
The speaker of this session is Mr. Freddy H. Istanto (Dean of Technology & Design Faculty Universitas Ciputra) and Mas Dedy Arunu (Director of Danumas Motor, YAMAHA motor dealer).
well, honestly speaking, I did lot of contemplation during the session as well as got lot of learning.
about Social Entrepreneur
Mr. Freddy describe the characteristic of entrepreneur,a person who is:
1. opportunity creator
2. innovator
3. calculated risk taker
So, entrepreneurship is not only something that has relation with selling something or has our own business. Mr. Freddy describe that we have 4 entrepreneurship, they are:
1. business entrepreneurship,
4. social entrepreneurship (e.g. Muhammad Yunus with Grameen Bank)
More about social entrepreneurship, Mr. Freddy told us about his innitiative for giving award for people who has contribution in Surabaya heritage, totally he has already given nearly 100 award. For me it really a big number. I just so amazed about his bravery to run this innitiative.
Then he gave us tips about how the deal with entrepreneurship:
Expand your network
.we need to give our name not only to certain people but to every people who is impress us
.we need to maintain our relationship with people (e.g. say happy bday to our friends in facebook)
Getting closer with celebrity
.take picture with them
.use their network
Getting famous
.do everything that make you famous until we can say that you get cursed to be always covered by media
Be Creative & dramatic
.do something creatively and dramatically
about leading business with our heart
Mas -the way Javanese people call older brother- Dedy told us about his experience in leading his team with heart. He experienced to take his team perfomance from selling 30s unit motor to 100s unit motor only in 12 months. Actually he's an artist, graduated from architecture department, he moved into furniture business then last at automotive business.
Here are some ideas that he share to us about leading with our heart:
.He creates the working culture of his office just like a second home for his employee (e.g. there are lot of coffe makers, there is playstation area). Then it works! His employee can spend their life in the office until 11 PM!!
.He knows every employee passion and potential then he use it to manage his employee
.He does personal approach to his market, "from coffe talk until business talk"
.Sometimes, he also does the frontliner task
.He always attend all his company event, even the small event
Then he shared to us about this wisdom words,
when is our important time?
who is our important people?
what are our important business?
the answer of all those questions is: Present is our important time, People whom with spend time with is our important people, and what are we doing right now is the most important thing to do.
So, we need to enjoy every process, every second that we spend in our life
