Kewirausahaan

Dear Readers,

Kewirausahaan sudah bukan lagi kata “tabu” bagi masyarakat Indonesia, khususnya komunitas pendidikan. Meskipun masih saja ditemukan ada kekhawatiran berkenaan dengan praktik kewirausahaan. Kewirausahaan sudah merupakan salah satu bentuk kata yang mampu membangun kesadaran kita, bahwa penerapan kewirausahaan akan membawa dampak yang positif bagi setiap insan Indonesia, yang pada akhirnya membawa kemakmuran bagi bangsa Indonesia.
Persoalannya bagaimana mengejahwantakan KEWIRAUSAHAAN itu ke dalam praktik kehidupan masyarakat, paling tidak di dunia pendidikan. Praktik kewirausahaan dalam dunia pendidikan seharusnya tidak dipandang sebagai upaya untuk menggiring setiap insan Indonesia membangun bisnis/usaha; tetapi juga merupakan suatu pendekatan pembelajaran yang mampu menciptakan keberhasilan bagi insan-insan yang akan menekuni karir atau sebagai pekerja profesional.
Bagi para Praktisi, Pendidik, Pemerhati, Siswa/Mahasiswa, Masyarakat yang peduli dengan KEWIRAUSAHAAN, mari kita bangun komunitas ini menjadi sarana untuk setiap Insan Indonesia meraih kemakmuran dan kesuksesan.
Salam Kewirausahaan,
Entrepreneurial Community

There's a lot of opportunity for everbody, be an ENTREPRENEUR!

Dear Readers,

Entrepreneur is not a "taboo" word for society in the world, especially in education community. Entrepreneurship has become the most popular word which give a spirit to everybody to make their life better. Entrepreneurship is a morphology that can develop awareness about the future of people. The implication of entrepreneurship will bring positive impact and finally bring prosperity for everybody.
The problem how to materialized ENTREPRENEURSHIP into practical life, at least in the "world of education". Practice of entrepreneurship in the world of education is shouldn't viewed as effort to dribble every people (Indonesia) develops business/effort; but also is a learning approach that can create successfulness for people who are aware about their future. Career in terms of be a self-employment/entrepreneur or as professional worker or professional teacher/educator.

Greeting Entrepreneurship,
Dave
