children we want business as a profession they work at their parents, how should our attitude as a parent to face it. Are we a priori or just want to follow her wishes. I think this case is no less experienced businessmen, including my own, that is when my son was still in junior high school also had a desire to be a businessman War net.

In my opinion, it naturally happened, because perhaps our children are familiar with the business atmosphere. Although, not a few children businessman who did not want to aspire to be a businessman, because he knows his father is very busy. Meanwhile, to educate himself was not easy. The problem, is a very large factor of emotional closeness, and it can sometimes be the obstacle of child development itself.

Meanwhile, I see not the schools that prepare a person to be businessmen. So, if your child wants to be a businessman, it is deemed necessary to have other people who we believe to be a mentor or mentor.

Only, we are involved in the mentor of the family, still must be well planned. And, to be successful, according to Patricia Skiff, a columnist in “Entrepreneur Magazine”, we must consider the factors below.

The first factor, we must know who the people who became his mentor. Have skills and can provide guidance, it is a major requirement. And we as parents, should be more used to believe before we involve the mentor in guiding our children.

The second factor, what we need to know the mentor. This means that before a mentor from outside the family that determines the rules in providing guidance, should we need to explain to the mentor, whatever be the motion, and what is its responsibility. For instance, he should be able to educate our children discipline.

The third factor, is what not to do the mentor. For example, he should not try to “sabotage” in the mentoring process itself. Because, in fact the essence of mentoring is how to provide input for our children’s ability in business. So the process is later, will make our children more mature in the business.

Therefore, I think, sort of a mentoring program that we should plan for a limited period, 5 or up to 10 years. Because, as this is, we as entrepreneurs will retire or rest. Meanwhile, our children when it was ready to become entrepreneurs.

There is one interesting business advice that is taught by Robert T. Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, who became Best Seller. Tips that reads, “After we successfully build a business then do not forget to buy the property. In addition we have an income from the business that we run, we also benefited from the gain will increase the value of the property “. I think, right Kiyosaki. Advice was actually the key word is the cause, why the rich get richer. Because rich people are always smarter to buy the property that each time will continue to multiply in value, that’s what makes it richer.

However, long before reading the book, as an entrepreneur I’ve been practicing it since the first. Therefore, there is additional advice I can give to you in buying the property from the profits that you build a successful business. Business proposition reads, “If you intend to buy property, not according to the capability of available funds. Even better buy a property with bank debt. Therefore, the less money you spend to buy the property, the greater your advantage “.

Clearly, if we had a fund of Rp 400 million do not buy a property fund worth fitting that we have. Did not buy a property does not have cash. Can the credit. So should you solve it RP 400 million for four properties, each instance you simply purchase a down payment of Rp 100 million, the remaining USD 300 million from the bank. Well, if you only buy one property valued at USD 400 million, then five years later you will only receive its profits doubled the price of one property only. But if four properties, five years later of your property which was originally 400 million has doubled to Rp 2 billion. So the four properties to be 8 billion.

Perhaps you ask, why buy a property with debts of more profitable? It helps us see the business advice from Dolf De Roos, consultant Robert T. Rich dad Kiyosaki in his book, “Real Estate Riches” Dolf wrote, “I do not buy a property to buy land, Karenina unproductive. I do not buy property for the building because it needed maintenance. And, I do not buy a rental property because it needed management. The strongest reason I bought the property is to get the debt. The reason is simple, “The amount of debt is always the same, but the asset values ??continue to soar”.

With business picking advice, my advice, we should not be afraid owed to the bank to buy the property. Change your mindset, that debt would be inviting trouble for you. It is to learn to foster confidence in the debt so-so start with a small value. But, once you succeed you are not seeking debt to the bank, but banks that would seek to take your debt.

Nothing wrong with that necessarily arise among entrepreneur joked that, “if you dare debt of Rp 50 million, you are have a problem. But if you dare to Rp 50 billion debt. Bank which will have a problem. Believe me, the more often we dare debt, banks will increasingly come to believe in our business. “You dare to try?

Peter F. Ducker argues, that everyone can have a career to be an entrepreneur. “There’s nothing mysterious,” he said. Possibly, the entrepreneur’s life easier a few years ago. Where, as customers make the neighbors so easy. But I think, now it is different. Market demands more and more, and quality must be increased. That if we want to live.

But I am sure, if when we want to pursue a career as an entrepreneur prospects are very good and very broad. That is, anytime we can start a business. And, we can sell any product or service. Being, what kind of business we can do, of course, also depends on our ability.

However, from a survey revealed that on average approximately 44% of entrepreneurs who engage in the business world for over 6 years, has had some kind of business that are not interconnected or overlapping. While 35% longer entrepreneurs only have one type of business, and 21% more have some kind of business that still there is a link or circuit.

So how can we become a successful entrepreneur? From experience, I saw that there are 4 characters a person can become a successful entrepreneur, namely the First, the desire. Where, he uses his desire for something big from small things. There was also a desire to make something that has not existed before, and do the will in accordance with the way they want to do.

Secondly, there is intuition. The opportunity to become entrepreneurs is the same for everyone. There is no IQ test. In fact, if we are not smart even if it does not prevent to become entrepreneurs. That is, every successful entrepreneurs are those who have learned to develop his intuition.

Third, he had a chance to go on living even though have no debt. So, all the entrepreneur has survived the ups and downs of his career. They never succeed, never fails. Never make money, or losing money, and others. In fact, the debt was always there in every business. I think, this is reality. Because, however, an entrepreneur must learn to adapt to the debt.

Fourth, always optimistic. For example, there are business opportunities, but because there is a more logical, the odds were not pursued. Because, he has considered with intuition, and cover it with optimism. So, in my opinion, it is the creator of the entrepreneur as well as business people. He made his life by addressing a variety of reasons for not pursuing business opportunities, and then convince others to follow how.

Therefore, in my opinion, if we really want a successful career as an entrepreneur, then make sure we have all four characters. And, we should never hesitate to go. You dare to try?

Provision was in fact already exist that govern him. I think that’s true. And, most of us think so. Therefore, since the birth of each person brings their own sustenance. But, whether we could improve our own Provision? And, if we can not plan it? I would argue, that provision must already exist that govern him, but we must remain active plan. Without planned, it will be difficult Rezeki we achieve. My own guess akandatang, sustenance it requires opportunities to come.

In my opinion, where possible sustenance that comes when every day we do not have any activity. Just resigned to it. And, we too believe, that provision does not need to be pursued, would have come alone. I do not agree with this principle. Because, however, that to us no excitement to work, and just always dreamed of fortune had come, then that provision would be difficult to come or just away. But conversely, if diligent work, and creative entrepreneurship, I believe, certainly sustenance will come. Our business will grow faster.

Moreover, if we dare to choose prose such as businessmen, doctors, notaries, lawyers, painters, artists and others. This profession I see are very likely to bring the provision of relatively large or are not linear. Therefore, the profession is different from the person who paid or as an employee. That is, if this time we for example, is to pursue the business or as an entrepreneur, then obviously it’s possible for us to bring a relatively large fortune. Meanwhile, if only we are now working part of other people or fixed monthly salary, then obviously the chances of the coming of the provision of relatively large, becomes smaller. Therefore, the sustenance of it coming into the right place, and this could we have planned. Lived, we dare or not.

Speaking of luck, I was reminded of my colleagues experience. He was a notary, I can see, in carrying out his profession, he is only using the motor. Then, replace the car. That was the old car. However, when I suggest that “dare” to take a new car on credit, he was surprised.  when the old car is sold alone would suggest, for a down payment.

Each month it must pay the installment? was the question. I replied, “Well that’s luck will follow your plan. If you use a good car must have more confidence in your clients. Therefore performance or performances required in your business. Moreover, you are willing to work hard and creatively capture the client, I am sure you must be able to pay the installment “. Apparently, he followed my advice. What happens next? Notary’s fortune was flowing. His client was increasing. In addition to pay the installments, he still has it’s advantages sustenance. And her confidence will increasingly steady profession.

This incident, among which leads me to believe, that the provision would actually come to follow the plan of our debts. Sustenance it will also come according to our risk-taking business. So, when we take the risk of small business, sustenance that flows is small. Conversely, if we dare amiability large, then the sustenance that flows would be great.
