He started the business from 2014 with his friends while in Daar El-Qolam Boarding School. But, he had a long process before he becomes successful at this time. Firstly, he taught at the elementary school, and there was a teacher who makes an additional time to study besides the school time. The teacher asked Mr Idrus to help her teaching English and Math. And finally, Mr Idrus accepted it. He learnt how to teach funny and easily from his friend, his name is Mr. Awang. Gradually, he understood how to teach funny and easily with a good class management and understood about the student’s psychologically. From there, Mr Idrus got the trust to teach the Qur’an and course. At the first, Mr Idrus joined with his friends and made a course that named Creative English Course (CEC). The course grew up to many branches. The process was not easy. But he was not a quitter.

In addition, until 3 years, he joined with his friends and finally he decided to made his own course. On 2017, he built the non-formal education institution of Generasi Cerdas (GC). This institution is growing well. Mr Idrus said it’s all because of Allah and support from his family, teachers, students, and student guardian. He is always looking for an update teaching system. He repaired the past and changes to the newest system. From 2017 until now, Mr Idrus has 5 branches of Generasi Cerdas that most located in Pasarkemis, Kab.Tangerang. Those were in Perum BTN, Perum Taman Buah 1, Perum Kotabumi 5, Perum Bumi Indah Tahap 4, and Perum Sindang Panon. The vision and mission of this institution are “Intelligent in Worship, Intelligent in Morals, and Intelligent in Academic”. He ever said why he took to business in education is because education is needed by time to time.The lesson that we get is never to give up and keep moving forward. Every problem will not be finished if we don’t go forward to finish it. And don’t forget to always be with Allah in every step. 
In conclusion,  based on the interview with Mr Idrus, we can know if being an entrepreneur is not easy and takes a long time in achieving success. And every success comes from a different way. The important one is effort and pray.
