Q & A

What is the definition of a true entrepreneur according to Coach Hendra Hilman?

A true entrepreneur is someone who can manage their business to the point where it operates autonomously, without the need for their constant presence. The business runs on a system, and the team is proactive, often more invested in the business than the owner, allowing the entrepreneur to step away while the business continues to grow.

Why does Coach Hendra distinguish between running a business and building a business?

Coach Hendra explains that running a business means being deeply involved in daily operations, such as managing employees and finances, while building a business means setting up systems and teams so the business can operate without the owner's constant involvement, leading to greater scalability and freedom.

What does Coach Hendra describe as a 'hamster-preneur'?

A 'hamster-preneur' is someone who is stuck in the cycle of daily business operations, similar to a hamster running on a wheel. They are constantly busy but not making meaningful progress toward business growth or freedom because the business relies entirely on their efforts.

What challenges does a business owner face when trying to expand from two to three branches, according to the example given?

The business owner in the example struggles with hiring reliable staff and managing the existing branches, which makes it difficult to open more locations. They are overworked, frequently have to intervene in operational issues, and find it hard to scale beyond their current capacity.

What are the two key freedoms a true entrepreneur should aim for?

The two key freedoms are time freedom, which allows the entrepreneur to step away from the business and enjoy personal time without the business falling apart, and financial freedom, where the business generates steady income even when the owner is not directly involved.

How does Coach Hendra describe the difference between being a business operator and a business owner?

A business operator is deeply involved in the day-to-day tasks of running the business, such as marketing, customer service, and production. In contrast, a business owner delegates these tasks to a team and systems, allowing the business to run independently and grow.

What is the 'entrepreneur ladder' as mentioned by Coach Hendra?

The 'entrepreneur ladder' is a step-by-step path that a person must follow to become a true entrepreneur. It involves moving from being a student or employee to becoming a business operator, then a business manager, and finally a business owner who can delegate tasks and systems, achieving time and financial freedom.

What advice does Coach Hendra give to someone who is currently an employee but wants to become an entrepreneur?

Coach Hendra advises employees who want to become entrepreneurs to first commit to the decision of starting their own business. While it may not happen immediately, they must gradually transition from their current job, build their business, and eventually become a full-time entrepreneur.

How can business owners avoid the 'Batman trap'?

Business owners can avoid the 'Batman trap'—where they feel like they must save the business every time something goes wrong—by building a reliable team and system. This ensures the business can operate smoothly without their constant intervention.

Why is it important for business owners to have a system in place?

Having a system in place is crucial because it allows the business to operate independently of the owner's constant oversight. It also ensures that employees know what to do and how to maintain productivity, which helps the business grow and the owner achieve greater freedom.
