Introduce Entrepreneur has a capability about "ability to create the new and different." Once entrepreneur wants an achievement or a target or performance, there must be a demand in his mind for that matter. He has a great desire to achieve it but indeed when there is circumstance beyond the expectation that the entrepreneur is disappointed, may feel stress. This happens often due to changes not necessarily accepted by many circles. How a person can act is the result of his thoughts, beliefs and feelings (Mukhid: 2009) whose factor is said to be self efficacy. Beliefs / efficacy also make a person affected by his choice of actions, how much effort will be done, how long and diligently in the face of obstacles and failures, how strong will be to resist adversity and pressure, how clear his mind will be his own obstacles or help, how capable will be realized (Mukhid, 2009). Self- efficacy refers to "one's beliefs and abilities to organize and execute actions for the attainment of given results". In other words, self-efficacy is a self-assessment belief with regard to one's competence to succeed in a task (Badura 1997). If humans have a strong sense of self-efficacy, they will tend to advance to more effort to fulfill or complete tasks and put aside the obstacles they face than those who have their own weak sense of self efficacy (Collins 2003). Drnovsek (2010) and Yaacob et al (2014) suggested that further research be undertaken on new business types, in order to assess the start up bussiness process in areas with high variability. Earlier reviewed by Godwin et al (2016) said the success of a business because of its involvement in viewing opportunities so as to build self-efficacy for future endeavors, aligned with Barbosa (2007) self-efficacy makes a person have a way of thinking to solve problems, which is very influential to the success of a business new. Self leadership is a process to build self-direction and self-motivation, especially in doing and completing important and complex work tasks (Musaheri: 2014). In self-leadership there are several factors that become the foundation as Belief, self talk, and mental imagery. II. Literature Review Self Leadership Self Leadership involves persistence people mobilize themselves to achieve self-motivation and self- direction as needed to behave in the desired way. The use of independent leadership strategies facilitates perceptions of controls and responsibilities that positively influence performance outcomes Three distinct but complementary categories of self-leadership leadership affect subsequent outcomes.
