• Bank. The most popular source of funding perhaps. Already there are options like conventional banks or Islamic banks. Who would not take the risk of interest, Islamic banks could go with such a profit-sharing system. But as our borrowers must meet the full requirements before they can withdraw funds from banks. Understand and identify completely all the requirements and consequences of lending to these banks. Do not dwell only on the banks of the famous, take advantage of small banks that can provide a more mild conditions.
• Pawnshop. Have valuables that are still dear if sold? pawn shops you can solve the problem of capital by mortgaging valuable asset and you still can make use and have the goods.

More importantly for the beginner business like ours, that businesses sometimes can not be calculated mathematically. In the business does not necessarily 1 + 1 = 2. It has often and much to prove in business 1 + 1 can be 4 could be 10 and so on. Business principles to remember in business is that we must always provide added value in our business. So the formula even be 1 + 1-1 = 5 who knows?

Besides the factors beyond our control should also be taken into account. Spiritual factors, for example. Like the advice of the ulama that the more we will give many accept as well. And remember that the results of our efforts are also attached to the rights of others, we must set aside, we clean, and we give it to the right. Hence the results of our efforts do everything we eat, should also be distributed alm. And rest assured it will increase and accelerate our fortune.

Very often told by Ustadz Yusuf Mansur on congregations experiencing rapid changes in living standards after infaq reproduce, shodaqoh, and zakat. There are already running out of capital and a lot of debt, then it asked for  remnants of property owned. After that there was a turning point and a drastic change. So if you’re running out of capital. Many have already proved “the power of giving”, many charity and bring a lot sodaqoh rizki abundant.

Sorry if I like the lecture, this spontaneous writing course after reading the above comments. The point is if you want to relax in the business, yes the waiting time, that later. If all the people who start businesses can immediately benefit of all, yes surely no one would want to be employees. All would be a businessman, was tantamount to an imbalance of nature. And it is precisely our strength through adversity and turn it into a success is a priceless reward for an entrepreneur.

alk about opening businesses and raising venture, has always led to the availability of working capital in the form of money or cash. Even from the beginning to write a blog, it always appears  questions and comments about how to raise capital due to insufficient capital, or the difficulty of getting capital, after they were eager to open a business or been forced to raise its business.

Although many have tried to convince, especially for beginners business, to open a business factor that capital money is a factor that “not too important” or “not the first priority”, but still if there is no movement of venture capital money seems to be a little slow and hampered .

And no doubt also that behind every success or a business boom, to be sure there is movement or increase the capital money (accounts payable and receivable) that collected business owners. For that we need a little more creative to get injections of fresh funds from other parties.

One way to easily raise capital must know where the capital is located and identify their sources. Once familiar, well familiar with these sources. “There is no free lunch” he said, it also occurs in the capital, then it should also be understood as remuneration for what must be prepared to be requested by the source of capital, the terms in the ads are filled with “terms and conditions apply”.

at a very young age already have the desire for entrepreneurship. And should be more grateful, because already there are friends who want minjamin capital. It was an opportunity that very, very rare. Since most prospective employers are always complaining about the difficulty of getting capital.

As a prospective entrepreneur must always optimistic, no matter what. Do not allow the emergence of negative thoughts. Especially when we want to begin pioneering a new venture for us. The mind must keep focused on positive things, and throw away the negative thoughts. Or make the negative thoughts as a feed-back so that we carefully measure the risks without impeding our steps to get started.

Mbak Puji, our first born never be know how to speak, how to walk, how to eat, etc.. But we as humans have a nature of a fast learner. Likewise in business, all employers must have started their business without any experience. If anyone says “could be an entrepreneur because it has no experience”, it’s definitely not the business of First Instance. As it navigates the world of entrepreneurship is important is the process not merely the end result. In undergoing the process we should be open to continue learning at every step we take.

We also start a business without a hijab and Muslim fashion has previous experience. We have no knowledge and do not understand business problems hijab, even how to start it also does not know. Instead we got a lot to learn and gradually come to understand the details of running our businesses. One more important in opening a business is ready to face the problem.

Some say that as a businessman mission is to solve the problem. Never before opening a business, having opened usahapun problem will come and go. And tasks one by one entrepreneur to solve problems. Each successfully completed one of our problems would go up a class. And so on, so there is rarely an instant entrepreneur, so open the company of big business. Many of you know that savvy entrepreneurs take advantage of problems into opportunities, capitalize on the crisis in order merchandise sells well, just always dodged the tough times

One of the fundamental beliefs which must be believed for beginners like us is that opening and running a business that does have the potential for success but it needs to process.

If it comes up in us the belief that the venture capital is easy from there, usually because we see the instant-instant, ready-made, and the others achieve that look like an instant success. We see the end result of the success of others, we do not know how to process the details. And indeed the tendency of successful people will tell her success story, with a few telling details of his failure. Because we ourselves would not be happy if a lot fails to hear the story right?

So often delivered by entrepreneurs that we are ready to undergo his PROCESS PROCESS and ready to enjoy it, be it the process fails (temporarily) and the process towards success. And his name is also the process would take time, we must be patient with the process. And we also must be able to enjoy all the events in each process. Because of failure and success is only temporary status, which is eternal process

if only just begun his character can instantly turn off the villain, the film would not be fun. What makes the film interesting is the process from beginning to end how the character’s rise and fall until it can win.

Likewise, the vegetation around us, ore planted trees not directly grow so big. Hard seed, should break itself up to the leaves and roots can be dug. Maybe if we become the seed we will also feel how the pain of break up and divide ourselves. Not to mention the growing leaves, the tree will be exposed to wind, other life Also with something like a newborn baby, months could only surrender, must learn to roll around, learn to crawl, fall up, only then can walk and run. Jalanpun can still be tripped, slipped, and bumped up can really keep his balance.

It has often been delivered by the mentors for the initial phase of opening a business that can be used as a phase for learning. As we were kids, going according to learning from kindergarten, elementary, junior high school, lecture, and so on. All these processes are always in need of cost and sacrifice, and we can not directly reap the profits.

Even if at the beginning of our efforts can be profitable, not profit as much as possible is spent on consumption. Some have saved for our store, we collect, and turn again to accumulate capital. Surely that businesses can continue to grow, enlarged, and did not wilt. Also in the early phase we also use to build customer base. Business without customers is like the python. Today can eat, we continue fasting month later, while hunting the next prey. If you have a strong customer base, we might as well have a faucet that is connected by pipes from springs, the water will keep flowing.

Consignment agreements can be flexible, to small shops such as our kiosks, just done amicably / consensus agreement and an agreement more easily. How many items are placed, how much, when to check, when payment is made, and other agreements discussed together and after a deal or both parties agree then the consignment can be run. There is good agreement be in writing (and rightfully written) although in a simple format, so if there are disputes, there are already guidelines.

To entrust the goods to companies that have large (mini market or supermarket) course requirements are more stringent. The supermarkets have set conditions that must be met.

Our experience, after his shop looks alive (a lot of customers and many transactions), there are many who come to offer consignment. Initially we were very careful, there are worries the goods will not sell. But lot of consignment items are sold at the stall.

offered to us is also diverse. Initially only the headscarf and similar products, then there’s that offer perfumes, and even now there is a deposit bag lady. The owners of the goods left at the stall, periodically checkbehavior or not, need to be added or not. Sometimes it is also quite done and if it is sold, the owner of the goods coming into our kiosks to receive payment of the goods sold.

And what if the goods are not sold? Owner of goods usually traded for other goods and goods that may not at our stall and it may well be sold elsewhere. So if you want to entrust the consignment of goods should not only to one store. If you can deposit the goods to many shops, we might as well have a lot of stores without having to rent a store, without having to pay employees.

It should also be early-early effort, we made a means of building a system. We trim the books, we continue to alter and upgrade our stores, kiosks, or our webstore. We educate our staff and employees. So on to the road smoothly and the business can not continue to bother us. We improve the workings of our business marketing system as well. If only every day we can increase the 0.1% the year the business running our business has grown 36%.

And importantly in the early days we try to open a business can get a feel or how the soul as an entrepreneur. Usually people say “the soul of business”. And most prospective entrepreneurs often complain afraid to open a business because they have no soul of business. Yes it should start first and learn new first  soul business.

Habits we really just want to see the end result. Like the earlier comment “It seems LIKE FRANCHISE . Actually also the indirect franchise initially jreng abracadabra be like this. It must have gone through the stages of the process of metamorphosis. We look delicious now, but who knows how to fight the first franchise owner in the beginning of his business. Just remember the story of the beginning of KFC’s Colonel Sanders building, how the Colonel offers a recipe from restaurant to restaurant, and from denial to denial.

I always remember the advice of Mr. Hadi Kuntoro as saying that “the difficulties you are facing now, it will be wonderful memories in the future”. And it’s true, you try to remember again that you are facing difficulties in the junior high. Is not now have become memories, that if his memory makes us smile himself.

So think of it so-so, just how long we go in this business. Think of it now you’re planting seeds. Do not rush to pick the flowers and rush like to pluck the fruit. Follow the growth of those seeds. And rest assured there is time later to reap the results.

How to Easily Start a Business / Business casual

To start a business or businesses should not wait for ideal conditions. Sufficient capital, strategic location, skilled employees, the spare time to start a business is an ideal condition. And to get it all at the same time would need a bigger sacrifice.

Especially for those of us who still status as an employee somewhere else, waiting for ideal conditions can be a difficult choice.

One option for an employee to have your own business is to open a sideline business. So that we can keep working and get a paycheck. And we tried to get additional income through the business that we pioneered.

Open a sideline business can be a nice option if we can determine the type and scale of business over the interests and our capabilities. If indeed we have ideal conditions, the option to open a company, opened shop, or take a franchise is the right choice.

But for those who have not dared to take risks by opening its own stores, there is an easy option to immediately start a business, namely the consignment system.

With consignment system we entrust our goods to the shops, stalls, or mini / supermarket others. We do not need to have my own shop and do not need to have its own employees. Obviously it will save a lot of cost. We just need to invest in merchandise and investment of time plus the energy to offer to the store to others. Barangnyapun not be homemade, can goods we buy wholesale and then we Leave to several stores.

Consignment agreements can be flexible, to small shops such as our kiosks, just done amicably / consensus agreement and an agreement more easily. How many items are placed, how much, when to check, when payment is made, and other agreements discussed together and after a deal or both parties agree then the consignment can be run. There is good agreement be in writing (and rightfully written) although in a simple format, so if there are disputes, there are already guidelines.

To entrust the goods to companies that have large (mini market or supermarket) course requirements are more stringent. The supermarkets have set conditions that must be met.

Our experience after his shop looks alive (a lot of customers and many transactions), there are many who come to offer consignment. Initially we were very careful, there are worries the goods will not sell. But lot of consignment items are sold at the stall.

Kiosk goods offered to us is also diverse. Initially only the headscarf and similar products, then there’s that offer perfumes, and even now there is a deposit bag lady.

Guest posting not only opens you up to a new audience, but also has the nice added bonus of providing you with a couple of contextual backlinks from them to your site which as you know carries not only SEO weight, but also a few traveling web surfers from time to time. That traffic will start to add up over time, and as you start to become a regular contributor on some of the larger blogs, in fact eventually if you do it long enough, you’ll be one of those “larger” blogs!

Always remember to submit high quality pieces, and don’t be tempted to hold them back and use them on your own site. Your readers already know what a great writer you are now is your chance to expand into new territories.

Another thing I’ll point out is, make sure you check out the guest posting guidelines that the blog author has gone to the trouble of writing out, he did this so that he can help streamline the process between you and he/she and make things crystal clear on just what they expect. This also tells you in no uncertain terms that that particular blog does indeed accept guest posts, and you don’t waste time sending off your work and waiting a week or so to find out that aren’t in the market.

Guest posting seems to be the one thing you hear people (myself included) saying they wish they did more of, which tells me we all see the potential, but aren’t quite living up to our potential of fulfilling it to our maximum benefit.

I’ve chosen to list out 31 blogs in my niche that I’d love to guest post on, and I’ve left another 31 spots open for blogs that come along in my day to day travels and that fit with my topic also. As I submit and have a post accepted I make a check beside the appropriate blog. It is my contention that when I have 100+ guest posts on my chosen blogs I’ll be seeing one aspect of my blogs success fulfilled.
