“Set your dreams as high as you can imagine, but also be realistic. Find the balance between dreaming and executing.”

“I joined the JA program in Indonesia when it was offered by my university. I was interested to know more about entrepreneurship and leadership. I heard about the JA Company Program. They told me it was about starting a real company, and I was really interested to be part of it–so I joined. I believed that having some real organizational experience would be a good way for me to learn. It gave me a boost of confidence as I got a glimpse of what it was like to run a real company. It taught me to see the multidimensional perspective of managing a business–from running meetings to boosting teamwork to resolving conflicts. I think all of those experiences, early in my university career, helped shape my mindset and my understanding of entrepreneurship. I continue to support JA Indonesia in various ways to pay back for the wonder full learning and mentoring I received early on.”
