Past the end of September 1991, Dewi Motik requested by HP PLSM Anniversary Commemoration Committee of the XIV to speak in front of the leaders in the House YTKI PLSM. According to Dewi Motik, the core of entrepreneurship is twofold. First, it must have an identity, confident of his own abilities, to know which way to go, not lazy, not quick-tempered, and hard work. Second, innovation / creative, must have the courage to start, capable of producing new ones.
If you already have the core of entrepreneurship, said Dewi Motik in his lecture which was moderated by the Chairman of HP PLSM that, then obey the following guidelines. Make the program simple, practical and clear. Prepare all the strategies and tips. Action as soon as possible. Do not forget to cooperation with others. Once in a while so the subordinates, other people want to hear. Learning by doing. Anticipating all of the symptoms of change, not static. Self-disciplined, consistent manner. To solve the problem, Think alternately from micro to macro or vice versa.
In the course of his life. Dewi Motik always feel the joy and grief in turns. "That's life," he said. He confessed that he had so many problems encountered daily. He always took the attitude of calm. Then think to find the best solution. But that good-great risks that he faced he never afraid, he was only scared of God.
When he was in grade school, he is forced to take a bloody corpse. Because relatives had died in the crash semobil travel with him. He faced the situation, and he himself escaped from the accident. The experience was terrifying enough impression on his memory. In any situation, anywhere, something fatal could happen to us, he said. "The jealousy, the hatred, the anger and who want to harm us the possibility exists, but if we had surrendered themselves to God, why do we have to fear?" Said Dewi Motik. Still life, our abilities, is a loan from God, said Dewi Motik to preach. "If there is a problem, immediately report the Lord and quickly make decisions, that's a good habit," he said.
Two years ago, the garment export quotas were prohibited from entering U.S., he suffered a loss. Then with the other garment entrepreneurs they work with governments to find solutions. Now it's no longer a quota problem. "To achieve success, we must be creative, and develop simple and practical concept, continue the action," said Dewi Motik revealed kitanya achieve success. "Do not make complicated, tired, do not stay long, the opportunity may be lost," his message to people who ask what is needed to start trying.
Blocking new event, is the publication of a post card with the words that really hurt himself. His picture was placed on the post card, accused of being anti-worker wage increase by an American. Facing this, Dewi Motik takes poise. Because, he himself did not understand what he meant Americans. Is this a global political issue or personal problem, not clear. Until now, Dewi Motik not been able to find out what the purpose of making that post card, and who merekayasanya. Many of those who encourage it to court. However, Dewi Motik still take the attitude of calm. "This is not a business opportunity, so no need actionnya quickly," he said giving the information.
Finally, he brought the matter to court after careful thought. Many officials would stand behind him but, because the American're sorry, Dewi Motik planned cancellation of that demand. "The man who apologized to forgive," said Dewi Motik while quoting the words of a prophet.
The only thing that's most Dewi Motik membahagiaan in life is to bear children. "That's the peak of happiness that I have ever felt," he said.
Dewi Motik are persons who prefer a pragmatic, practical love. He is now wrestle S2 Strategy Program at the UI. In relation to a practitioner he was eager to learn practical concepts. Guerrilla warfare such as a scientific concept in the military that are practical, not too theoretical. Hit and Run frequently. His friends in college, held the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel of the armed forces. Do not be surprised if Dewi Motik now grappling with the books of Mao Tse Tung, Nasution Book of Guerilla War.
Dewi Motik principle, if you see other people do not have the advantages of envy. "We must learn to be able to get, as they get. Education system in the department of Defense, for example, gives good results. The majority of the best leadership of this nation born of a military education. We do not envy. We make the same, we work hard and improve discipline, "he said. Dewi Motik statement is true. If noted, the system of recruitment of national leadership, indeed many come from the military. Their strengths, among others, Shop-Shop, able to think systematically, without vision, physical endurance is strong enough, and have a sense of a joke (a sense of humor). Dewi Motik days were filled with busyness, always begins with reading the newspaper in the morning. "I was nervous if not read the newspaper in the morning," he said. Other hobbies: watching TV and swimming. If the holiday season, Dewi Motik frequent family vacations abroad. If there is a meeting or conference in Bali, for example, Dewi Motik also often invite family over there, all the holidays.
Dewi Motik confess her husband's quite understanding. For him, busy, busy wife, to always respect her husband and gave the sense, there would be no problem. Nevertheless, a female character who most often appeared in the mass media, revealed: no suitable husband and wife 100%.
Between all kinds of activities with family problems, often the opposite. Sometimes, each person required to make a choice. If the same facts Dewi Motik encountered in daily life, he performs with the priority scale. For example, when an important meeting in his office, when, at the same time his mother reportedly ill, and will be operated, Muhammadiyah activists must choose to leave an important meeting of his career was concerned. Because, for her parents' position is everything. While the meeting was still able to be repeated, or the risk is not as bad as if he was not visiting his mother.
Conversely, when the child was sick, and he must lead the Indonesian delegation who attended the meeting women entrepreneurs in India, Dewi Motik choose Off to a meeting which was opened by the Prime Minister of India, the late Indira Gandhi's. Not because of the heart or do not love children, but it was discussed long ago with her husband, after he agreed and went to perform the task of expanding horizons of the state in Indonesia's women entrepreneurs.
Dewi Motik reasons why pursue the world of education - teaching, lecturing, writing - and the entrepreneurial world, because the Indonesian nation is left behind when compared with developed countries, in various fields, "Competition is getting tight, the world of knowledge and technology developed rapidly. We have to run faster, "he said.
The trick according to Dewi Motik: improved education and should be made free of charge, to educational strata of our society is relatively evenly distributed. Finally they can earn their own without having to bear the title of first unemployment, he added. To cope with unemployment, he said, while enhancing economic growth, entrepreneurial world must be activated continuously. People should be encouraged to create jobs for themselves and for others, added Dewi Motik. According to him, build the economy of a nation better start from the very small, then pushed into that big. That's all, continued Dewi Motik, highly dependent on the political will of governments.
Dewi Motik take the example of the U.S. and Japan, they were very interested in helping their small businesses, both capital assistance, legal protection and various other incentives. Dewi Motik admitted that Indonesia has the same policy, Small Business Loan (KUK), for example, but that there should be improvement and consistency.
The election of Indonesia as the Executor of the High Level Conference on the Non-Aligned countries, according to Dewi Motik is a sign that Indonesia is a safe country in Southeast Asia. He said: It is an opportunity, because many foreign countries do not really know Indonesia, boro-boro willing to invest. Each investment requires thorough planning, in addition to the safety factor above, the potential of natural resources, markets, labor, etc. also need attention.
