Abstract

This article is the result of training for 4 micro, small and medium businesses in Jambi who are having problems managing their businesses as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic. The training aims to inspire small and medium business actors to continue their business, carried out through zoom with the lecture method , ask questions, and share experiences. The problems they face include lack of customers, declining turnover, which results in decreased income as well. However, various attempts have been made to get rid of this problem. One aspect that can help them rise from adversity is to build spiritual well-being by fostering harmonious relationships with themselves, others, the natural environment and God. Spiritual well-being is not only about a relationship with divine power, but also about a good relationship with oneself, others, and the universe. A person is called spiritually prosperous if he is able to be honest with himself, see the positive in others, maintain the universe and be obedient to worship. All these aspects need to be owned by every business actor. Through real spiritual well-being from the emergence of self-confidence, optimism, and the ability to surrender to God's power, they are then able to see various opportunities that can be done to continue their business such as opening a business in other fields, and changing marketing methods. The important thing is that they can survive even in the difficult atmosphere of the pandemic era.


ABSTRAK:

Artikel ini merupakan hasil pelatihan terhadap 4 orang pelaku UMKM di Jambi yang mengalami masalah dalam mengelola usahanya sebagai dampak dari pandemi Covid 19. Pelatihan yang bertujuan membangkitkan semangat para pelaku usaha kecil dan menengah melanjutkan usahanya, dilakukan melalui zoom dengan metode ceramah, tanya jawab, dan sharing pengalaman. Masalah yang mereka hadapi antara lain kurangnya pelanggan, omzet menurun, yang berakibat pada pendapatan yang menurun juga. Namun berbagai upaya dilakukan untuk bisa lepas dari persoalan itu. Salah satu aspek yang bisa menolong mereka bangkit dari keterpurukan itu adalah dengan membangun kesejahteraan spiritual dengan cara membina relasi yang harmonis dengan diri sendiri, sesama, alam lingkungan dan Tuhan. Kesejahteraan spiritual bukan hanya menyangkut soal relasi dengan kekuasaan ilahi, tetapi juga menyangkut relasi yang baik dengan diri sendiri, sesama, alam semesta. Seseorang disebut sejahtera secara spiritual bila mampu jujur terhadap diri sendiri, melihat yang positif dalam diri sesama, memelihara alam semesta dan taat beribadah. Semua aspek tersebut perlu dimiliki oleh setiap pelaku usaha. Melalui kesejahteraan spiritual yang nyata dari munculnya kepercayaan diri, optimisme, dan kemampuan berserah kepada kekuasaan Tuhan, mereka kemudian mampu melihat berbagai peluang yang bisa dilakukan untuk melanjutkan usahanya seperti membuka usaha di bidang lain, dan merobah metode pemasaran. Yang penting mereka bisa bertahan kendati dalam suasana sulit di era pandemi.
