This webinar is packaged in the form of a talk show. That is, the speakers in this webinar respond to questions that have been provided by the committee or given by webinar participants.

At the beginning of the discussion session, Alfied gave his response regarding the challenges of doing business after the pandemic. According to him, the main thing that must be considered in starting a business is to look at market conditions and economic conditions.

“Right now we are in a zone where it is difficult to get out of our safety or comfort zone. Therefore, we must get rid of that feeling of laziness so that we can get out of our comfort zone to face the challenges of doing business. The main thing that must be considered in starting a business is to look at market conditions. We need to monitor market developments and economic conditions to find out market demand, especially in the post-pandemic era,” said Alfied.

Furthermore, Alfied gave his response regarding the steps in starting a business. He said there are 4 steps in starting a business.

“There are 4 steps you can take to start a business, namely formulate your dreams seriously, map your opportunities, explore your business ideas, and own digital assets. Owning digital assets is very important. As we all know that today’s children must have a smartphone and on average they also have social media accounts. In my opinion, social media has a big enough influence on business development,” explained Alfied.

At the end of the discussion session, Alfied gave tips on starting a business.

“In starting a business you have to be focused and consistent. You can learn from the stories of successful entrepreneurs because they can be role models and encourage us to do business. Successful entrepreneurs have to start from zero to be that successful. Well, this is then used as a reference in our starting entrepreneurship. Force yourself to action and have a strong determination, “said Alfied.
