Although many cases of corruption and other problems, our country's economy can keep it running. This of course there thanks to the driving-force in society that do not depend on the regulations and the government. They are rarely known this person is called an entrepreneur. Here are a few of them and efforts to become an inspiration and motivation for us.

Wimar's World on Wednesday night (28 / 3) presenting three of Bob Sadino entrepreneur (owner of the supermarket Kem Chicks), Hadrijanto Satyanegara (PR Manager Patrakom), and Fred Hehuwat (one of the founders of the Foundation ASHOKA Indonesia). They are the ones who did not despair even excited and give an example to us. The following snippet of their conversation with Wimar Witoelar.

Four Capital Entrepreneur

Wimar: He said, you first sailor, then how do you get to become an entrepreneur by opening a supermarket?

Bob: It's simple. I used to work in Holland and around Europe. When he returned to Indonesia, I see here is different egg egg that I saw in Europe.

Wimar: What's the difference?

Bob: Different shape. So, I ask people to find chickens that could bertelor.

Wimar: Were you already an expert chicken or the egg?

Bob: One of the factors to be like me today because I was lucky not to know anything.

Wimar: Do you have many friends in the bank that could provide the capital?

Bob: Bank just to save it

Wimar: So people do not really need capital to build new business.

Bob: What's the sense that capital? Many people just translate it only capital items that can be seen and counted it, just money. Actually there is capital that can not be seen. This capital of the handle for a person to become an entrepreneur is,

1. Must have a willingness
2. Determined to
3. The courage to take chances. There are a million opportunities out there, including in our own bodies

Wimar: Bob, I met many people who want to become enterpreuner. He said it was hard because the climate is not conducive, not rule in favor of employers. How is Bob?

Bob: The three factors did not make a person to enter into enterpreuner. The fourth factor is that you do not be whiny and resilient.

Take advantage of technology

Wimar: We switched to Hadrijanto. Your company provides telecommunications facilities in remote company. How your company can do business in remote areas?

Hadrijanto: We see no suggestion of business opportunities and limitations of telecommunications, especially outside Java. They have needs and sometimes they have the money. Telecommunications is no longer a requirement but is primary secondary. Therefore, we seek to help provide telecommunication facilities in remote areas.

Wimar: How much and where for example?

Hadrijanto: In East Kalimantan, such as in rural areas Samarinda, Tabang. If now number around 150 units

Wimar: So because of the remote areas then they should be wireless. So the use of satellites.

Hadrijanto: Yeah, we held a stall telecommunications satellite (Wartelsat).

Wimar: The key here expensive but what I can do and people do not pay a premium. So, who provide support so that it is available?

Hadrijanto: Actually that supports the technology. We utilize existing technologies. We do engineering technology in it so that we can. In quality it can not reach, such as cyber or subscription, but for remote areas there is quite sufficient for telecommunications facilities.

Wimar: Is the investment would return from the money?

Hadrijanto: It may not come back but we are trying to reach the break event point only. That was nice.

Wimar: That may be the difference between the company you work with Bob Sadino. If Bob, that is pure entrepreneur and investment money back. While you, there is an investment and return in the form of pleasant society.

Social Entrepreneur ASHOKA

Wimar: This is the third Fred Hehuwat. He established the Foundation in 1983 ASHOKA Indonesia. I know because it helped build it, but I do not know the rest. ASHOKA used the concept of social entrepreneur. What that concept and what is done Ashoka at the moment?

Fred: When we normally associate with economic activity. Indeed the birth of the term social entrepreneur from Ashoka. If we compare the economic sector and industry development is very advanced the social sector like education and health behind. If we look at the conditions in Indonesia, social conditions are very severe. Who would handle this? Usually we rely on the government's expectations. We all know the government a lot of limitations. If this is not no shortcuts are created then the situation is getting more and more behind.

Wimar: What people are nurtured ASHOKA?

Fred: We build people who have entrepreneurial programs. Initially, one sees the situation, knowing the field, has a bright idea, has the ability to solve problems, not depending on the facility, and so on, then a brilliant idea that would help us. We are looking for people like that.

Wimar: How many people who have nurtured since 1989?

Fred: There are now about 140 people in Indonesia.

Wimar: This international concept. If the international concept example, we may better understand the social entrepreneurs?

Fred: If we look at the top social entrepreneur is Muhammad Yunus of Bangladesh by the Grameen bank program that won a Nobel prize. The idea that the most unique and nice.

Wimar: If I read in your brochure, ASHOKA many are also moving in these areas. How do I overcome the obstacles that occur there?

Fred: I think they will not be waiting for something but looking at the situation. Different possibilities. Barriers are also different. So they did not wait for something from the outside. From growing their own ideas, "Oh, things like this. This is what I can do."

Wimar: How do you choose who would it be fostered?

Fred: I think we really sort out those primarily based on valuation,

1. Is it a new idea?
2. Are people who do that, according to our assessment, have the ability?
3. How is the impact these ideas? If a small impact so we are not interested.

Wimar: If Bob Sadino 50 years ago that as a teenager, what could be an option ASHOKA? Are the conditions present in it are looking ASHOKA Bob?

Fred: Maybe yes, their properties, but the field may not. Bob certainly want to succeed commercially, while we value is how its impact on social life.

Alfie (caller from Bekasi): I am very interested ASHOKA Foundation Indonesia. How is the control mechanism against those who supported as an entrepreneur in ASHOKA?

Wimar: So the question is how good will these people be controlled?

Fred: First, we have a rather large network that can provide information to us. Second, we must monitor how the further development of those who supported. Indeed ASHOKA themselves do not want a lot of control. If entrepreneurs want to grow do not get too much control, so we'll just monitor it.

Impact of Changes in Government

Wimar: We have experienced a drastic change of government since 1998 until now. When compared with the previous situation, whether there are differences in the changes for each field of entrepreneurship?

Fred: Very different. First we need to establish ASHOKA mengumpet-and-seek. Now very freely

Bob: Yes there are differences. But I'm from the government was not interested. I just wish we were not too many set-set because one knows about me is my business.

Hadrijanto: If we look better now because its supporting regulations is much better and the attitude of my friends also have more open area.
