The highlight of the event that captivated all participants was the appearance of Andrie Wongso, Indonesia’s No. 1 Motivator, during the closing session. With his distinctive style, Andrie Wongso shared 5 Success Tips for achieving success in business, known as the 5 Success Powers: 1. The Power of Mind, 2. The Power of Opportunity, 3. The Power of Will/To Be, 4. The Power of Professionalism, and 5. The Power of Relationship.

Quoting from Andrie Wongso’s presentation:

The Power of Mind : Success starts with mental attitude and mindset. The mind is a God-given gift with incredible power. If you want to be wealthy, healthy, successful, and happy, all of it can be achieved by maximizing your potential in the right way.

The Power of Opportunity : Throughout human life, “golden opportunities” always present themselves before us. The challenge lies in how we perceive, create, and seize those opportunities. Time always offers opportunities for success to anyone willing to change and transform.

The The Power of Will/Tobe : Having the will to succeed already puts 50% of success in our hands. And if we strive hard in earnest, 100% success will be ours.

The Power of Professionalism : Being responsible in the field or role we embrace requires mental richness and a spirit of self-improvement. There’s no smooth path to success; instead, we become ‘trailblazers’ who pave the way towards success.

The Power of Relationship : Every individual is like a fertile field. If we can sow good seeds in every person we interact with, we will surely reap abundant fruits of kindness.

Andrie Wongso’s success tips serve as motivation and encouragement for investors to seize the golden opportunity and become partners in Induk KUD’s agricultural and fisheries projects for the future. For Andrie Wongso, based on his observations of Induk KUD’s Agricultural-focused programs, he expresses his optimism that under the leadership of Herman Wutun as the Chairman of Induk KUD, these programs will achieve success (TAB).
