In Romania, one out of two young people wants to be his own boss. According to a social study made by EY Romania, 52% of the Romanian students will start a business in the next two years. 97% of them are willing to work hard to obtain what they want and 86% are willing to take major risks for this. The majority of the respondents are thinking that the most important qualities of an entrepreneur are vision, motivation, passion and innovation. The young people are thinking that they will have success working alone in their own business. The most important reasons to start a business are putting in practice personal ideas, independence and the possibility of being your own boss. Young Romanians are much more optimistic than the adult Romanian entrepreneurs regarding the concept that a failure in a new business is a great opportunity to learn.For young entrepreneurs in Romania failure seams to be most valuable experience. In 2014 there were registered more then 100 000 new businesses. Usually small businesses without capital. The profile of this kind of entrepreneur is a young man, aged until 35, with secondary education. Most of them are without any experience in management but with knowledge in the technical field. From this to situation that I presented here results a great rate of business failure. Although, according to the EY Romania study the young people said that entrepreneurial education was improved in last few years, it seams that this kind of education made in Romania does not have such great results.In my opinion, the reality looks like thisbecause entrepreneurial education in Romania does not concentrate on entrepreneurial thinking that much. Last month, between 5-13 May I was in Cyprus on a Youth Exchange program organised byOTI International. The name of the program was Selfie JOB and the goal of it was to develop entrepreneurial thinking, communication skills, soft-skills and so on. Young participants were coming from Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Poland and of course, Romania. The training course had a lot of activities in those 8 days and they were concentrated on non-formal education activities that developed team-work, communication skills, mathematical thinking and of course, gaining entrepreneurial skills. This training was not about building a business plan, like all most every entrepreneurial training I have participated in Romania, me or my friends. Instead of learning how to build a business and to be your own boss we learned how to work together and how to develop a common idea. We learned that we can develop our own ideas using others ideas and build a concept, not just a small business. We learned that it is important not to be the only one in the market and kill the competition, and we learned that it is better to help each other to build something rather destroying others businesses. But how did we learn that?I am doing training courses for almost 10 years now and I know the value of non-formal education and the things that you learn in an exercise together with your team mates, are not only fun, but also educational. Learning by playing is one of my life principles. I love very much when I participate in a training where I can see and be involved in new non formal learning methods. And this was one of the best experience in my life. The most interesting exercises were about simulation of a real life situations. In one exercise we had to imagine that all 40 of us are leaving on an island and we have to build the most important or needed facilities. After that, we had to work in one of these facilities according with our studies. Of course some of the buildings that we build were demolished because of the lack of studies.If you had the chance to be suitable for one facility and nobody else from the group is qualified you earn 500 Euro/month. If there are two persons working in the same facility, the salary is split in two. After that, in order to develop our community we had to build other facilities that all the group had to agree or to demolish other facilities and all the group had to agree. The interesting part was that our 40 people community decided to demolish more buildings rather than building new ones. The most demolished buildings were the ones which had just one employee. The employee became unemployed for a month and had to find a job in other facilities, and that meant that the salaries from that facility had to be split with the others. The conclusion of this simulation is the mirror of what I said regarding the situation in Romania, but actually I observed the same things happen also in other countries, and this is due to the fact that we want to be our own bosses and to be the only one in the market without thinking that competition could help us to develop. Related with this, another nice simulation exercise was also about some islands. This time we had8 islands and 4 fields of activities. Two islands had food supplies, other two had energy, other two raw materials and the last two had the technology. In order to function this simulated world every island needed to have from each category of supplies and just a small amount of budget. In order to survive you had to make at least two exchanges. But what did we do in this game? For two hours there were no exchanges made, because each island wanted to make profit but nobody was thinking to survive or to make product exchange, instead of buying. The conclusion of this exercise is very simple but usually when you are thinking to start your own business you have to think about surviving in the market and only after you stabilize your business you can make actual profit.There were so many exercises that developed us and we also saw that we can be so creative when the money are not involved in the game, and that we can build a product that has 4 different characteristic which, at first, you couldnt imagine that they will ever work together. Also, we learned that if you do not have financial management qualities it is better to associate with someone that wants to build a business but maybe that person does not have your creativity and innovation. Also having a boss is not such a bad thing if you know how to sell yourself and how to create your own job in a company. That is about having a Selfie Job, to create yourself in order to develop something useful in community not just useful for yourself.
