Membaca Peluang Usaha

Melihat peluang usaha mungkin bagi kita adalah salah satu hal yang sangat sulit untuk dipikirkan selain modal sebelum kita membuka usaha. Membaca peluang usaha bukanlah terletak dari jam terbang atau lama kita memperhatikan hal untuk melihat peluang suatu usaha, tetapi bagaimana kita lebih peka dalam menangkap perubahan situasi yang memberikan sebuah peluang bagi kita.

Pertama-tama kita harus teliti dahulu konsep dari melihat peluang usaha. Apa yang kita inginkan dari melihat peluang usaha? Jenis usaha untuk kita tekuni,  apa yang kita cari dari usaha atau bisnis yang kita tekuni? Tentunya keuntungan, benar. Namun, untuk melihat peluang bisnis tidak sekedar untuk memperoleh jenis usaha yang kita tekuni untuk memperoleh keuntungan.

Untuk melihat peluang bisnis, kita harus melihat beberapa aspek berikut ini:

1. Situasi Sekitar.
2. Target Pasar.
3. Jenis Usaha.
4. Produk Usaha.
5. Usaha Di Sekitar Kita.

Dari poin – poin diatas saya akan mencoba memberikan hasil membaca peluang usaha yang saya tangkap di lingkungan sekitar rumah saya.

Dari poin yang pertama yaitu situasi sekitar, saya melihat dari adanya pengerjaan proyek renovasi rumah di perumahan tempat saya tinggal, nah dari sini saya dapat membaca aspek pada poin kedua yaitu target pasar,saya berpikir dimana ada proyek pasti ada banyak pekerja proyek yang tahu juga biasanya mereka tidak dapat konsumsi dari kepala pengadaan proyek tersebut, jadi masuklah kita di analisis aspek yang ketiga mengenai jenis usaha yang akan kita jalankan dan saya pikir jenis usaha yang tepat ialah membuka rumah makan atau warung nasi yang range harga dapat disesuaikan dengan pendapatan dari para pekerja proyek, dan mengenai produk usahanya mungkin ya seperti masakan-masakan rumah makan/warung nasi/warteg pada umumnya, dan sejauh mata memandang sih kayaknya usaha sejenis belum ada jadi poin kelima menurut saya tidak ada masalah.

Sekian peluang usaha yang bisa saya tangkap(baca) dan saya sampaikan semoga bermanfaat dan berkenan untuk bapak PRIYO PURWANTO selaku dosen mata kuliah Ekonomi Koperasi.

"SHORTCUT" way to JOGJA

Hei pada kesempatan ini gw mau ngepost tentang perjalanan trip gw ke jogja hehe, sebenernya sih udah hampir sebulan yang lalu, tapi baru sempet gw post sekarang...

Oh iya ini bukan trip ngelewatin jalan pintas ya, gw takutnya ekspektasi kalian gw ke jogja lewat jalan pintas, FYI gw bukan doraemon yang punya pintu kemana saja, bukan transporter juga, dan yang paling penting gw bukan babi ngepet yang suka nyari "something dengan jalan pintas (yang terakhir abaikan saja -_-) hehe...

So kenapa gw kasih judul " "SHORTCUT" WAY TO JOGJA ", karena gw trip bareng sama temen2 sperkumpulan gw ya yang officially dikasih nama "SHORTCUT", ya monolognya segitu aja ya gw capek hhmm :|

Tepatnya tgl 13 agustus gw berangkat dari jkt naek bis "ML" (what?! Bis "BERCINTA"?!) eits jangan ngeres dulu ya masbro mbakbro(loh?!), pas pertama denger juga gw mikir ini nama bis-nya absurd bener ya -___-, dan ternyata eh ternyata ML itu kepanjangan dari MAJU LANCAR (lagian nyari nama gak ada yang bisa disingkat lebih bagus apa ya?), yak skip saja yang ini, kita naik bis ini dari daerrah cijantung jalan jam 3an sore dan sampe jogja sekitar jam 6 pagi dan sampe gunung kidul jam setengah 8an lah, well ada yang terlalu menarik sih selama perjalanan soalnya gw kebanyakan tidur hahahaha tapi pantat gw pegel naudzubillah deh (gak penting)...

Ya setelah sampe di Gunung Kidul tepatnya di Wonosari kita stay 2 hari 1 malem di rumah pakdenya nanda, dan hari pertama kita lgsg ke pantai yang katanya tempat nyi roro kidul a.k.a pantai selatan kalo gak salah ya :D, nah jalan2 ke pantainya bakal gw post nanti hehe....

Nah abis dari rumah pakdenya nanda kita turun ke kota JOGJAnya sodara2, di JOGJA kita nginep di rumah warga yang tentunya bayar (YA IYALAH TO MASA MAU GRATISAN?!), disana kita ya sama lah 2 hari 1 malem juga itungannya, nah di JOGJA kita melakukan hal ya layaknya orang2 yang lagi trip  ke JOGJA gimana sih lo tau kan? (mulai stres ngomong sendiri) mulai dari blanja ke malioboro, ke keraton,makan diangkringan, nah tapi ada satu hal nih yang bikin beda trip kita sama orang2 laen, kita banyak berkomunikasi sama makhluk2 astral a.k.a SETAN -___- gw sih gak bangga gak tau deh kalo yang laen :|...

Yak akhirnya kita pulang satnight (azeeek), kita mutusin buat naek kereta "EKO" hmm gw sih ngebayanginnya biasa aja tapi THE FACT 180 derajat dari perkiraan gw hmm -_- (mau yang enak mah naek pesawat to ckck), nah disini banyak kejadian lucu nih tapi gw post tersendiri aja nanti ya haha, dan jam stgh 4 kita nyampe di jekardah untungnya dijemput pa'enya si Bayu, makasih pa'e :D

Nah begitulah gambaran trip gw sama "Shorcut" kemaren saking bermakna-nya sampe gak bisa diungkapin sama kata-kata (alesan lu to, bilang aja emang lo gak ngasih hal yang bermakna haha<----mulai stress lagi :|)

thanks untuk semua karakter(lo kira film ato game?!) eh maksudnya segala pihak yang tersangkut(emang layangan? -__- ) maksud gw yang udah take a part sama liburan "SHORTCUT":

-Pa'e sama Ma'e nya Bayu

-Supir bis ML (Maju Lancar)

-Kel. Pakdenya Nanda

-Mbah yang punya penginapan

-Si bule kamar sebelah (hahaha)

- dan yang jelas kalian "SHORTCUT"

"SHORTCUT"

"THE BEGINING"

          Hei longtime no posting, gw gak posting bukan karna gw sibuk atau apa tapi karna emang tadinya gw kurang tertarik sama dunia per-BLOG-ingan -___-"

          Oh iya pada postingan ini gw ngasih judul "THE BEGINNING" kenapa? ya karna gw baru mau mulai mencoba masuk dalam dunia per-BLOG-ingan ini hehe (sebenernya sih gak penting juga ya gw ngepost hal ini gak ada yang baca juga gitu hahahahahASURAM -__-

          Alasannya sih selain dari kemauan gw sendiri juga gw terinspirasi dari blog2 penulis2 yang udah sering gw baca bukunya dan juga beberapa temen dan senior gw juga, gw ngerasa kok kayaknya mereka seru gitu nge-BLOG :D, jadi gw memutuskan buat serius nge-BLOG juga hehe

          Gw sih berharap postingan gw bisa selalu usefull, walaupun gw gak tau bergunanya buat apa, entah bikin galau lo ilang, bikin lo seneng, atau bahkan bikin lo semua puas menertawakan gw kalo ada cerita gw yg bodoh, so let see apa aja yang akan gw posting :))
