JAKARTA - The conglomerate Chairul Tanjung has several tips on managing financial patterns well. As quoted from Instagram, the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) @lps_idic, there are three tips suggested by the CT Corp boss.

First, discipline. In his book entitled Chairul Tanjung Si Anak Singkong, discipline is the most important thing in turning money. Chairul Tanjung is also disciplined in recording all expenses and income.

Second, turn around the capital. In order not to get stuck, Chairul Tanjung tried to play his capital so that it would continue to grow. Even in the past, Chairul Tanjung had opened a photocopy business under the steps of his campus.

Third, find a partner. The main problem that most often occurs if you want to be an entrepreneur is a lack of capital.

"In this regard, looking for a partner is the best way so that the business that is being run continues to grow. However, getting a business partner requires an appropriate profit-sharing system," said the tip from the 9th richest person in Indonesia, as quoted by VOI, Tuesday, April 6.

Some time ago, the man who is familiarly called CT mentioned three tips for survival for business actors in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to him, the first is always to maintain optimism, the second, to be able to seize the smallest opportunity, and the third to create opportunities.

CT likens it, the current condition is like walking in a dark alley that is still looking for a point of light at the end there because there is no certainty when the COVID-19 pandemic will end.

"Some say that the pandemic will end in two years, four years, or in 10 years, at this time we do not know when it will end," said the man who is familiarly called CT, as quoted from Antara, Monday, February 8.

Therefore, he said, the main trick for business actors is to always maintain optimism. By maintaining this optimism, according to him, in the future, we will be able to see the slightest opportunities.

"It is the law that every crisis will reduce the chance. Now this is related to the second method, no matter how small the opportunity must be caught," said the former Coordinating Minister for the Economy who replaced Hatta Rajasa from 19 May 2014 to 20 October 2014.

If due to pandemic conditions increasingly covering up business gaps, including in the world of mass media, then the third tip is to create business opportunities.

"If there is no opportunity, what should be done? Then create business opportunities. This is the principal if you want to be an entrepreneur," said the man who was born in Jakarta, June 16, 1962.

CT admits that it is indeed easy to say but not easy to do. However, starting with optimism, he believes everything can be done.

"And in theory there is no such thing, for example, to face a challenge, you have to take steps A or B. Every challenge has a solution. So a solution to a challenge must be sought that is tailored to the character of the respective regions and media," said CT.

CT gave an example, the opportunity that is currently open is that digital TV products with only a few cameras, which cost around Rp. 5 million, can do promising business.

Whereas in the past it needed funds of up to hundreds of billions of rupiah but now it is easy to take advantage of digital channels such as Youtube.

"As I said at the beginning, life is like a doughnut. People are optimistic about getting the bread, although maybe a little, but the pessimistic can get the holes," he said.
