Have we ever heard when a question was asked to students “what is your dream?” then they say “I want to be a successful person” or “I want to make my parents happy”. At first glance it seems that the answer of this Protege is very good and noble, but do you know? that thus this dream is still very unclear and immeasurable.
So what are the measures or indicators of achieving success, so it is very difficult to determine how the steps will be arranged to make this success a reality. In other words, dreams that are not measurable and unclear are dreams that later become dreams that are difficult to realize.
The picture is only an example of a coffee maker entrepreneur, such as a writer who also love coffee :p

Building Character and Dreams as Successful Entrepreneurs
When referring to the management concept of how a dream or goal should create, then we will refer to a concept called SMART. The basic concepts that must be realizing beforehand are, success is not a coincidence, but success is a design that has been made and should obtain in life.
Therefore, the dreams we make must be “SMART”. What is the SMART concept? The concepts of SMART are clarity dreams will explain as follows:
- Specific. That means we have to be clear about what we want to do so that later we will be convenient at planning. Thus, the term “I have dreams of becoming a successful person” is replaced by wishes for example; “I have dreams of becoming a marketing manager at Company X with a monthly income of $$$” or “I want to be an entrepreneur in the field of X with an income or turnover of $$$ per month” and many more examples.
- Measurable . It means dreams have to be measured. So after that, we will know when our dream has come true. So we know what next steps we want.
- Achieveble. It means our dreams have come true. If the achievement is too huge, we need to break that dream into smaller achievement first as a first step or part of achieving a big dream.
- Realistic. That is, our dreams must make sense. This absurd meaning is usually associated with the ability or availability of funds owned. Having limits on what you already have, there’s no need to want something outside of the field. Although later in the best moment we will have more funds to develop the business. The key to realistic is patience and perseverance.
- Time Bond. Dreams must have a clear timeline of when you want to achieve for. For example: ” I have a dream to make a house from now until the next 3 years, a home with type 45 that has a building area around 45 m2, and built on an area of 96 m2“.
Those are some suggestions for those of you who want to define your entrepreneurial dreams. Remember, the above explanation is just a suggestion.
We alone are the ones who can do it. The biggest failure in an effort is procrastinating. Don’t give up on this life. May it be helpful and Thank you for reading 😀
