Martha
Tilaar - There
isn’t word “impossible”
Do you
know who is she ?
Yes. She
is Martha Tilaar who is a succesful businesswoman,
not only in local area but also in international. Now her cosmetic group is
predicated as the market leader of cosmetic industries in our country. We can
find about her success story in many books, television and also magazines. She
is an inspired Indonesian woman with all of her story and struggle.
Martha Tilaar
was born on September 4th, 1937 in Kebumen. When she was a kid, she had been
interested in all about cosmetic. Then, when she grown (grew) up, she was married with H.A.R
Tilaar who is a rich man. Then she went to Holland to follow her husband and
continued her study there.
Starting from there, she began her business and
built a small beauty salon in America. When she came back to Indonesia, she
built a salon in her father’s garage. By collaborating with PT Kalbe Farma, she
created some creative product. And finally she could build her own business
without cooperating with PT Kalbe Farma. She made her own group namely Martha
Tilaar Group. She has worked really hard in innovating her product. Now, not
only as the big cosmetic company, but
her group also has had some acquisitions with other companies such as PT Tiara
Permata, Aromatic Oil Of Java Martha Tilaar, Dewi Sri Spa Martha Tilaar, Biokos
Martha Tilaar, Belia Martha Tilaar, Berto Martha Tilaar, and Jamu Garden Martha
Tilaar.
Being a succesful businesswoman with high profit
doesn’t make her greedy. Martha Tilaar always give(s) many
contributions by helping Indonesian women to be more creative and sufficient.
Moreover, 70% of her total employers (employees)
are women. That’s why I’m very respectful to her. I still remember a
message from her that we should be focus in one field which we have choosen and
don’t give up to reach it. There isn’t word “impossible” if we believe and
struggle. Someday, that’s all as the proof of journey in reaching success for our
life.
Writter Corner :
First, I’d
like to say thanks so much to Dyah and Asmara that have given me some corrections
and suggestion, so I can revise my work to the right way.
Then, I’d
like to say sorry that I made this revised work very late.
The last,
thank you very much J
