Being an employee is certainly very desirable for most people, especially those who want to live in a comfort zone. In fact, often the prospective in-laws dream of a prospective daughter-in-law as an employee in a large company and have a fixed salary every month. Indeed their intentions are right, so that their children are guaranteed their lives. Not to mention the example of a businessman who goes out of business to make the status of employees / civil servants very tempting. No wonder both in big cities and in small cities and even rural areas there are so many high school graduates / undergraduates flocking to find work.

After becoming an employee of a company, having a steady income every month, a comfortable co-worker, a conducive workplace often makes people feel at home in the comfort zone. Some even grow old to be employees. Because most people only see examples of failed entrepreneurs. Though many in our eyes are examples of successful entrepreneurs but somehow people are more interested in seeing just bad examples. It could be that coming out of the comfort zone towards the freedom zone experiences a very difficult, uncomfortable, vulnerable phase of frustration.

Even though God has explained that 90% of the provision will be given to employers and 10% to employees. We can see examples of successful entrepreneurs in Indonesia starting from Sandiago Uno, Ippho Santosa, Elang Gumilang, and many other entrepreneurs. They certainly experience the phase of "falling up" to pursue success. There are some entrepreneurs who work first, but because they are bored at the stagnant situation, they stop and start towards the freedom zone.

Steps of Employees Become Entrepreneurs

 There are steps they take in order to survive in the fall phase. Here are some steps for those of you who want to transform from an employee to an entrepreneur

1. Right mental preparation and intention

This is the most important requirement for you from an employee to an entrepreneur. To get out of the position of the employee alone requires a strong mentality. Because this means releasing a position where income is certain, a positive view of family and friends towards a zone where income becomes uncertain. In addition to mentality to get to the uncertainty zone, it is also necessary to mentally become entrepreneurs. Where each businessman will experience a "phase of bagun fall" which must be picked up during the road to the entrepreneur. In this phase, many entrepreneurs are not strong and eventually meet bankruptcy. Strong mentality to become a business will be more effective if it is intended correctly. Intention to run all because of worship. The intention to live it in the right way, not to take the dirty road.

2. Capital preparation

Capital preparation is an absolute requirement to move from an employee to an entrepreneur. Make sure you have capital first before submitting a resign letter to your boss. Whether you are still single or have a family, capital remains a determining factor in the course of the business. Can find investors and profit sharing, borrow family and friends, and other soft loans. It can also sell assets, whether it be land, house, or private property. Try not to borrow from moneylenders because of high interest. High interest rates can also cause the business to stagnate early.

3. Ready to work longer

The transformation from employees to entrepreneurs certainly makes you try again starting from zero. In the beginning, maybe almost all of our time will be taken for business. Whether it is through thoughts or actions. But we must be able to manage time well. Learning to manage time is one of the keys. Working longer does not mean forgetting your family or relatives. We also have to be able to make time for them.

4. Focus on goals and never give up

In the course of our business we will often experience obstacles. Whether it's a family attitude that is not proactive or a derisive environment. This often disrupts the development of the business. Mental often collapses because of opinions around, especially when the business is falling. This is where we must continue to rise and the spirit of never giving up. Try to discuss with the family at the beginning of the business. Ask for their support. Always keeping the spirit by sharing with fellow entrepreneurs, especially those who are experienced is a good thing. Read business motivational books for successful entrepreneurs can also be a spirit enhancer. Finally, we must be sure that our sustenance is already in place. So that our steps to pick it up feels lighter.
