Dear god,
I am felling good actually when i back for working in Santika Hotel Bengkulu. Beside feeling safe, i also feel excited and enthusiast to see what i can do for this hotel business. For your information, this situation is no longer same like it was. When i was here 2015-2018, this hotel become number one priority with no competitor. All of management also not really aware with management strategy and innovation, i mean, maybe they was aware but there was no urgency to implement it seriously. But now, all is different, all is urgent. All of people think that so. The goodness is one idea really matter. Management need people who want to move together. It means new management strategy in all of business line in Santika is really needed. It is quite challenging. I am finding new playground to play. Actually, is quite interesting issue to play with. There is a competitor (Mercure hotel, my ex working place, yeah only for 15 days actually) with the highest and biggest building in our small and beloved city. Its presence automatically get attention for all people and took our “the most luxury hotel chain”. Our position is interrupted. Yes, i do really admit that. But, they couldn't take our hotel brand value. They don't. Let i reveal something that i just realized when i back working as hotelier in this hotel. Firstly, i think i like to be a hotelier. I don’t know how to explain, i just like everything when there is challenge to win people heart , main strategy to win other people heart with hospitality. Second, this management (under Mr. Edy lead) and generally Hotel Santika hotel and resort management is still the most professional and heart-touching place to work with, compared with my other three working area previously. Third, i don’t how to tell, but the value of “hospitality from the heart” implement perfectly for mostly employee here. It makes the environment of working also become more friendly, again, if i compared with other three working area that i had before. Fourth, i am trying to use and for sure, to learn, management ability and skill to help this people. Crazily, i am thinking about a mission, to build a Hotel Santika Bengkulu brand as “The Best Hotel Service in Bengkulu city, or maybe indonesia”. Sound good though, but also hard and challenging. So here i come, i am trying to find my line in this “must working condition”, as like Angela Duckworth said in her “grit” book. If you have to do something that can give you your “revenue stream” but you have no enough passion to do that, you should build your own reason to fit with your own passion. So, i can make This working area to cultivate my management skill and insight. Not only, reading a insightful book, but i can implement all worth it ideas directly. It is awesome. Let say, if i can really work for making Hotel Santika Bengkulu as “The Best Hotel Service in Bengkulu city, or maybe indonesia”, i can also do that for any other business that come as Entjou client in the future. See the correlation? I can see it, but it need time and tons of energy t do so. This is the same like what Yoris Sebastian did. Hope can i do more syar’e and better than him. Henceforth, i don’t want to trap by “wild Entrepreneurial mentality” again. I trapped before and always see my employee status as the worst thing. I tried to escape, many time. But, not now, i don’t want do the same, i don't want rush in, just let the time goes on and my skill and ability prove it. I hope this is the correct way, i will become really entrepreneur when i ready. When my skill and mentality ready. But, i will not stop to learn, i will never stop for entjou, insyaAllah. Keep moving with entjou while i am working for other company also. Maybe i cannot be young entrepreneur, but i always have time to be entrepreneur. God, hopefully this is the good way, i just can think that way by now. please lead me to right path. Amiin. Ps: This hotel have to temporary stop due to corona viruses pandemic. Frankly, the hotel stop because the occupancy of the hotel is really-really low, only one room occupied base on april on hand data. Frankly, i glad to be stay at home. I don’t know how long it will take. What surprised is we (as employee) still get 50 percent salary while other management hotel get unpaid leave. One of the prove, Hotel Santika Hotel and resort choose to be emphatic, i do really curious how the owner and management find money to pay us, i need to ask the general management to get the answer soon.

Dear God,
I cannot convey my feeling now anyway. On Feb, 17th 2020, i have started working for the hotel, again. For the same position in the same brand and property. Do i look fool? I think yes i am, some of friend told me “that’s okay, you have to face the reality”. But, in the deep of my heart, i still feel confuse. i feel like coward but In the other side i feel safe. To be honest, since January till February when Entjou could not give any sustainable business lead, i feel worry like crazy, but when HR of the hotel contacted me to propose the position, suddenly the anxiety disappeared. In that such circumstances, the employee mentality is still strong. In that sort of condition, my brain will stuck and could think any great idea. In short, I like an error machine when my financial got trouble. So what should i state for? God, due to this condition, i feel like ruined building. I don’t know how to start and where to put my next pace. I am realizing the vision of my entrepreneurial soul, i have list to do to, but i feel so exhausted inside. At working environment in Hotel is the same, i try to re-call one by one feeling to do all of the SOP and put my spirit back. Even there is one day, i realized that i cannot play in this working world. I need to decided, take it totally or leave it with whole package. I think i choose the first option. The other problem is my religion intention. I know by now that i have a lot of restriction. My don’t do list is abundance and maybe will increase over the time. Hotel is the particular place to give the service and the image tend to be negative. How could i survive with this surrounding. Can i be me more sunnah aware than before. God help me to solve this case. I just need the answer. Frankly, to write this article is quite confusing, need time to collecting the braveness, because i still cannot see me as a fool one. But i am. Dear My Allah, I am sorry to be wrong, i am sorry that i cannot face the financial test properly. You know me better how do i feel when i got financial trouble. I cannot think properly. I am broken. I just pray for you that hopefully, all of my salary now is halal. I will trying hard to fight all of the restriction with sunnah and your syariat. I will more often to go to kajian, listening to kajian podcast, and do all of the the sunnah that i can implement. As much as i can. I think i need a sunnah guidance list book like i did before when the first time i learn sunnah in 2019. I will, let’s start from today. And for Entjou, i need time to recover. Luckily, i have dina and nova by now in Entjou team. I know that they disappointed with my decision to going back working at hotel. But, i have no word to argue. I think i just need to do so, i hope this is not the biggest mistake that i have choose. I will have another plan for Entjou and my working place that i will write in the separated article. Because, i have an pretty interesting idea to combine my demanding working task, Entjou dream and the purpose of this blog as well. I think is quite interesting to specifically inform any management concept (marketing issues) that can be tips or even story in this blog related to hotel and Entjou movement. I am trying to accept all of the current circumstance that i have to face (that i have decided), and wishing YOU could give me another acceptance. |
