Memilih anak buah (karyawan) dan sukses entrepreneur

Banyak orang yang masih kurang care atau menganggap sepele dalammerekrut anak buah atau staff ketika memulai usaha. Yang penting asalmau diajak bergabung dan mau dibayar murah, namun kurang melihatbagaimana kemampuan anak buah itu untuk diajak berlari memajukanbisnis. Artinya yang dilihat hanya 'harganya' sekarang (present value)yang bisa dibayar murah, disisi lain kurang memperhatikan nilai masadepannya (future value).Padahal kualitas anak buah (pada SDM kita) itu sangat menentukan.Maklum seorang entrepreneur tak mungkin melakukan semuanya sendiri.Tangan dia hanya dua, kaki juga dua, dan indra pikir (otak) dia jugahanya satu. Sehebat apapun seorang entrepreneur dia pasti punyaketerbatasan karena itu butuh orang-orang lain di sekitarnya yang bisaia delegasikan tugas dengan kualitas hasil yang kurang lebih samabagus dibanding kalau ia sendiri yang melakukannya. Syukur-syukurkalau bisa mengerjakan lebih bagus daripada ia sendiri yang melakukan.Sejauh yang saya tahu, entrepreneur besar yang kemudian suksesmelairkan perusahaan2 besar, juga didukung oleh para anak buah yanghebat yang mampu menerjemahkan keinginan owner, mampu bekerjasama,loyal, dan mau mencari ide-ide terobosan bisnis tanpa diomelin siowner sekalipun. Mari kita bercermin dari kasus Astra. Kenapa Astra?Bagaimanapun Astra adalah salah satu perusahaan terbesar dan tersuksesdi Indonesia, dan juga menerapkan sistem manajerial yang oleh paraahli disebut-sebut sebagai yang terbaik di Indonesia.Astra bisa besar dan menggurita seperti sekarang tak lepas dariperintisnya, yakni om William Suryajaya. Beliau adalah pendiri Astrayang awalnya bisnisnya juga trading, mensuplai kebutuhan beberapainstansi, sebelum menjadi raja otomotif. Banyak orang yang tak tahukalau kalau Astra besar juga karena Om William punya beberapa anakbuah yang hebat saat perintisan yang notabene adalah beberapakeponakannya sendiri. Sebut saja Pak TP Rachmat dan Pak Teddy Tohir --masih ada beberapa yang lain. Mereka ini sudah ikut Om William dari jaman susahnya dulu. Tapi merekainilah anak buah yang berbakat yang memberikan kontribusi besar kepadasi owner (entrepreneur). Selain bekerja keras, juga capable dan punyavisi. Terbukti Astra kemudian besar dan para anak buah itu kemudianjuga mandiri menjadi enterpreneur yang sukses. Tedy Thohir kemudiansukses mendirikan bisnis sendiri Group Wahana (dealership danfinancing untuk sepeda motor) -- Wom Finance. Sekarang bisnis diasudah diteruskan anak-anaknya (Garibaldi Tohir dan Erick Tohir). TPRachmat juga demikian. Orang ini, setelah lama menjadi Presdir GroupAstra setelah era Om William, ia juga mendirikan usaha sendiri,Triputra Group yang kini juga menjadi salah satu kelompok usaha besardi Indonesia. Saya kira orang Astra pasti mengakui Astra bisa besarsalah satunya karena andil TP Rachmat, karena orang inilah yangmembangun sistem di Astra. Dai juga cukup lama menjadi presdir Astrasebelum kahirnya mengundurkan diri. Bagi para pemula bisnis, memang tidak mudah meniru langkah Om William,mencari anak-anak buah dari keluarga dekat yang hebat dan masih maudibayar murah saat merintis bisnis. Yang penting saya kirasemangatnya, cari anak buah terbaik sejauh yang bisa dilakukan. Janganasal comot. Bagaimanapun kemajuan bisnis amat ditentukan SDM-nya.Kebetulan saya pernah tanya ke Pak TP Rachmat, apa rahasia beliaumembesarkan Astra dan juga bisnis sendiri, jawabnya, ialah SDM. Punyatim yang hebat. Beliau kalau mau masuk di bisnis baru bukan bidangnyadulu yang dicari, namun orangnya dulu. Ada nggak orang yang siapbeliau tempatkan sebagai CEO, GM, sbg. Beliau orang yang sangatconcern dengan man management atau people management dan inilah salahsatu pilar terpenting dalam bisnis. Kata beliau "kalau kita punya timatau anak buah yang bagus sudah seperti Rinso, bisa mencuci sendiri". Saya juga tahu banyak soal Astra dari relasi saya Pak Harijanto,beliau mantan tim-nya Pak TP Rachmat di Astra yang kemudian jugasukses menjadi entrepreneur. Pak Harijanto, pengusaha sepatu yang kinipunya 9.000-an karyawan, juga menerapkan man management ala Astra diperusahaannya. Dari mulai cara rekruitmen hingga bagaimana mengelolaanak buah (soal upah dll). Makanya di perusahaan Pak Harijanto inicukup harmonis meski pekerjanya ribuan orang. Beliau masih bisa nyanyibersama dan dangdutan bersama karyawannya atau makan bersama di kantinperusahaan. Ini nggak gampang lho, apalagi saat ini banyak pemilikperusahaan yang datang ke pabriknya sendiri takut. Takut didemo, takutdikeroyok, takut dilempari kerikil, dll, karena soal upah dan sistemketenagakerjaan yang kurang baik. Makanya ada beberapa pabrik yangdibakar atau disandera oleh karyawannya sendiri. Tragis. Mungkinpemiliknya menangis juga kenapa dia yang punya perusahaan tapi maumasuk pabriknya sendiri tak boleh. Tapi itu bisa jadi itu tuah dariulahnya sendiri, karena tidak menerapkan man/people management yangbaik, adil dan transparan. Ada baiknya belajar dari Astra dan juga perusahaan yang menerapkan manmanagemen dengan baik lainnya. Carilah anak buah yang baik, potensialdan berbakat, lalu pertahankan dia dengan man management yang baik(penggajian, training, dll). Semoga upaya perintisan bisniskawan-kawan semua sukses sesuai harapan. Bagi yang ingin menyimak danmengkaji kisah dan kiat bisnis dari Pak Harijanto, pengusaha sepatuyang awalnya hanya penjaga gudang namun kini punya 9.000-an karyawan,bisa baca sendiri di buku terbitan Gramedia '10 PENGUSAHA YANG SUKSESMEMBANGUN BISNIS DARI 0", disusun Sudarmadi. Kawan-kawan juga bisamembaca kiat dan kisah 9 pengusaha lainnya di buku itu yang sayapercaya akan mendatangkan banyak manfaat.

10 Keys To Interpreting Your Dreams of Dollars

The exact meaning of dreams is up to each individual dreamer, since each dream is unique to the mind that created it. There are many interpretations of virtually any object, place or person encountered in a dream, but each of those objects, people, and places are open to alternate explanations as well. Those wishing to analyze their own dreams often do so out of a desire to use those dreams to make decisions or gain control over issues in their working life. Whether you wish to analyze dreams simply for the fun of it or to gain access to your subconscious mind, it is important to capture your dreams properly in order to analyze them.
Keeping a dream journal is a great way to keep track of your dreams, and to look for patterns that may emerge after a few weeks. Even those who do not have recurring dreams often notice the same themes popping up again and again, and a dream journal can help uncover these connections.

This article will provide you with some times for getting the most out of your dream world, and using that world to improve your waking life.

• Immediately upon awakening, play the dream back in your head several times. Playing the dream back in your mind will help you remember those all important details that are so quickly forgotten.

• Be sure to move quickly when recording your dreams. The dream world is one of the most ethereal, and one of the most easily forgotten. It is estimated that as much as half of the dream can be forgotten in as little as five minutes, and after as little as ten minutes almost all of the dream can be lost.

• Write a quick description of the dream as quickly as possible, focusing on the key symbols and themes of the dream. Write down any words or descriptions that jump out at you. It is not necessary to write a full narrative of the dream at this point; simply record how the dream felt, some of the objects that were encountered, and similar details.

• After the initial impressions of the dream have been recorded, read over your notes and start filling in the gaps. The dream narrative can be recorded at this point.

• Look for a quiet place in which to start interpreting and analyzing your dream. It is important to choose an area free of distractions, and to concentrate on what the dream really means. If no quiet room is available at the moment, take a last look at your notes and come back to them later when you can find a quiet place.

• Pay close attention to your feelings as you review your dream notes. First impressions about the meaning of a dream are often quite accurate. Also pay attention to the context of the dream, where it took place, and the feelings it engendered both while in the dream world and upon waking.

• If you meditate, that can be a big help in trying to capture the deeper meaning of the dream. A few minutes of quiet meditation can reveal much of the nature of the dream.

• In reviewing your dream notes, examine the emotions they stir in you. Pay attention to the emotional state that existed in the dream.

• Pay particular attention to any details that stand out. Vivid parts of your dream, or those that can be remembered long after the dream, are often the most important.

• When examining you dream and looking for the meaning of symbols, it is important to not limit yourself to the most common interpretations. Remember that each dream is as unique as the person who dreamt it.

dream being naked

One of the most common dreams around the world is the one in which the dreamer is naked. Dreams of being naked can have several interpretations, and the nakedness in the dream can manifest itself in a number of different ways.
In some naked dreams, the dreamer is simply going about his or her own business, commuting to work driving in the car, walking around the neighborhood, etc. In many cases, the dreamer is completely unaware of his or her nakedness and not at all bothered by it.
In other cases, the dreamer is aware of his or her nakedness but no one else seems to notice at all. While the dreamer may be conscious of the nakedness, everyone else just goes on about their business and make no comments. These types of dreams are often manifestations of the dreamer’s fears.
Often the dreamer has fears that he or she worries may be uncovered. Dreams in which no one but the dreamer notices the nakedness are often indications that the fears bothering the dreamer are unfounded, and that no one else is concerned about them.
On the other hand, dreams in which the dreamer suddenly becomes mortified at realizing he or she is naked often indicate vulnerability, fear or shame. In many cases, the dreamer is hiding a secret or hiding something that he or she is afraid will be found out. The nakedness in the dream indicates a fear that other people see through you and will discover your secrets.
In dreams, clothes can represent concealment and hiding, so being stripped of clothes can mean being left defenseless and exposed. The dream may be trying to tell you that you think you are hiding something, but that everyone else already knows about it. This is one of the most common forms of the naked dream.
Being naked in a dream can also indicate fear of being caught off guard. For instance, many people dream that they are suddenly naked at work or at school. As a matter of fact, the dream of being suddenly naked in a classroom before taking a test is one of the most frequently studied dreams. This kind of nakedness usually symbolizes fear of being unprepared for a situation at school or work, such as an important project at work or an exam at school.
Often times these dreams of nakedness at work or school coincide with events in real life. For instance, you may dream of being naked at the office right before that big project is due, or before you are due to make that big presentation. These types of dreams can be especially common among those who feel they are unprepared for the challenge.
Likewise, students who feel they have not studied sufficiently for any exam often dream of being in the exam room naked and exposed.
Sometimes these types of dreams to not coincide with real events. Rather they may simply be manifestations of a more generalized fear of being caught unaware, or of being unprepared for the challenges of life.
Other naked dreams with similar meanings involve being naked and standing in front of a crowd. Since nakedness and public speaking are two of the most common fears in the world, this combination can be mortifying, even in a dream. Being naked in front of a crowd can symbolize a fear of being exposed, a fear of being unprepared, or a fear that those around you know things about you they are not telling you about.
One of the rarer types of dream nakedness is where the dreamer realizes he or she is naked but shows no fear, shame or embarrassment. This type of naked dream can be a symbol of freedom and unrestrained exuberance. This kind of dream can indicate that the dreamer has nothing to hide and is proud of his or her life. In this case, the nakedness in the dream can be a positive thing – symbolizing openness, honesty and a trusting and carefree sense of life.

A Word About Dream Analysis And Interpretation

It is quite likely that dreams have existed for as long as their have been humans to dream them. Dreams are an integral part of the human experience, and every person dreams at least four times, and as many as seven times, each and every night for their entire lives. It is even thought that unborn babies dream while they are still in the womb.
With such an important place in human history, it is no wonder that dream interpretation has such a long and storied history.
Everyone wants to know what his or her dreams mean, and dream interpretation and dream analiysis is likely as old as dreams themselves.
The interpretation and analysis of dreams is known to go back at least as far as 3000-4000 B.C., since a number of stone tablets containing dream interpretations have been discovered by archeologists.
People in primitive societies were often thought to make no distinction between the world of dreams and the waking world. Indeed, many people thought of the dream world as more real than the physical one, and thought that the world encountered in dreams was merely an extension of the physical world.
Many ancient peoples thought of the dream world as the time when the soul left the body to commune with the world of the spirits. It was thought that the soul departed the body each night, and visited the world of the ancestors. During this time the dreamer’s soul was gathering knowledge and wisdom from departed ancestors, both recent and ancient.
In other societies, those who could interpret and analyze dreams were held in very high regard, and given a special place in their societies. The Romans and Greeks in particular paid much attention to the analysis of dreams, and they used the analysis of dreams to determine the best course of action in matters ranging from politics to warfare.
The ancient Egyptians as well saw knowledge, power and spirituality in dreams, and gave those who could analyze and interpret them an honored place in the world. The ancient Egyptians often saw dreams as a way for the gods to communicate with the mortal world, and those dream messages were taken very seriously.
