Budi Suwito’s Story
 

I have been quite curious on what consulting business is all about. It seems to me that such business carries with it exclussivity, dearly price, and certainly only certain kind of societies might be eligible to be part of it: the rich, the genious, the last but not least, the insane ones.

 

Having studied in an electronic engineering department at one of the most prestigious universities in Indonesia had got me to learn logics, that is anything inside the box. I hardly found human sciences and philosophy such an interesting and fun things to learn or study. And it stops in one fine day that human cannot depend on logics alone. Reasoning demands more than our sense of logics, and from that time on, I also learn to live beyond the box.

I have been growing in a family where trading is a daily breakfast as well as dinner. I should have learned a lot from that family environment that life is full of choices and opportunities to those who open not only their eyes but also their gutt and bravery.

I then set up my own company to prove that I can still live in my family tradition, only this time I do it with style. Running a business, and then also taking a higher degree for Business Finance at Prasetya Mulya Institute, that’s all it takes for me to take another giant step. And now I am also teaching at the IbiI (Indonesian Business Institute), one of the renowns. I teach Business Ethics. What a colorful life! Electronic Engineering, Business Finance, Business Ethics, Medical and Academic Laboratory Tools Business, and my story does not stop there. My long time colleague, Mahendra K. Datu, asks me to join him in setting up the Club Mondial, an Entrepreneurial Forum, and then a research and consulting company.

Here I am now. But I still don’t want to stop here. I want more, and more, and more. Challenge me, and count me in. Cos I’m the game!
