From the Kitchen Table to Community Care

Who cooks the meal, and eats it alone or decides to forever live in the Kitchen, untouched by the outside world.

Looking all around us we cannot but find objects, and products of longlasting inventions that have been preserved for the benefit of humanity.

In self same manner, it is the responsibility of the Kitchen Table Entrepreneur to ensure that he strives to meet the needs of the customer, the people on whom the reins of economic power depend. From the moment that the task of creating, discovering and making postive contributions are set to be accomplished, the entrepreneur becomes a committed agent of the community - be it local, national or global.

A chef, in the self same manner that we may describe the Kitchen Table Entrepreneur or K-tec expects others to benefit from his skill as a restauranteur. The K-tec is concerned about his consituency, constantly thinking about what is most needed in the marketplace. He strives to define his market, and to esnure that its needs are met. Through market research he is bound to find out what it is that the marketplace really wants.

The simplicity of the kitchen table must not fools anyone. It is the bed on which dead talents come awake to manifest their skills and abilities; the school of hardknock where inventor, writer, chefs, software programmers etc find a home , and place to concentrate with reckless abaondon, totally captivate by the things that go around them.

Every invention, product, copyright, services or licensed products comes from the stable of some genuinely concerned K-tecs, who are working very hard to find solutions to challenging human, and societal problems. It could be as small as discovering the next writing pen, inventing a special feeder bottle, and many of the life changing inventions that we tedn to take for granted in today's marketplace.

Everything that we use on a daily and regular basis carries with it the powerful message of care for the outside world. Imagine what would become of our world if there was no electricity, clothes to wear, houses to live, and businesses that are at the forefront of community development - all of these greatly impact the reality that the entrepreneur experiences most of the times.

Therefore, the seriously committed entrepreneur cannot afford to underestimate the importance of understanding the needs of the community at large. The kitchen table may also double as the delivery table where ideas take wings, and the fingers tinker with anything within its reach.


Tomorrow we would look at the possibility of the enterpreneur as an agent of change.
