I think there are some popular small businesses that operate in my country. The most popular ones are people who sell fruit and vegetables, and the other is people who sell fashion products. I think Indonesia itself can produce many high-quality items such as tea, coffee, coconut, and tuna. The products are sold to other countries like Japan or Korea. For myself, I think it's important to purchase products from our country rather than from another country because I believe that we can support our local workers by consuming their products. I think everyone will buy products from our local workers. It can grow our economy rather than buying from another country. I think the reason some people like to run their own businesses is that every time they work, they work for themselves. When we work as employees, we have to follow the rules set by our bosses. But when we have our own business, we follow our own rules.
