KTEs As Agents of Change

Welcome to the true world, where change is the norm and entrepreneruship is the currency of constant change.



Again we go back to the analogy of the kitchen table entrepreneur for us to understand the impact that KTEs exercise in the lives of their community - loacl or global. The kitchen i sthe meeting place for those who want to help solve the hunger of any people, who wait in an expecatnt manner for whatever the chef has to offer them.



It is in the kitchen that we cook whatever meal that we deem fit for the people to consume, both to nourish and empower them for life. The chef attempts to meet the overall needs of the people he serves. In the self same manner, the KTEs are somehow having it at the back of their minds that they represent a certain constinuency of creative, and venturing people who want to enjoy the latest technological breakthrough, exploit the best of oportunities, and stretch every mile of their joint progressive minds and intelligence.



Every community is positively prone to the love of music, inventions, innovative architecture, science development and technological breakthroughs. The contributions of every individual matters to the collective ssurvival of the community.



KTEs are often born to be relevant to their times. Instinctively, they pick up what the natural environment looks like, and then work towards accomplishing it. The kitchen table and "garage" entrepreneurs are members of a community of people. If young, they pick up the vibes of what may best appeal to young people, fiding alternative to education for their bored conuterparts in Colleges or Universities. The likes of Bill Gates made their work with computers to pay off for their fellow counterparts. What about Steve Job and hisuniqu Mac/ipod creations - it is unmistakable that their youth helped to inform the nature, character and demographies of their constituency. The chef must know who the consumers are, and the be close to the heart-pulse of the marketplace.



Through interactions, and the act of socialization it is possible to get the vibes of the heartbeat of the marketplace. The chef needs to know what to cook, what ingredients to purchase, in what amount, who eats what, and who does not eat what etc. Therefore, more time is spent at the kitchen table, garage or wherever they choose to work their hearts out to work exclusively, and dedicatedly for the benefit of the local and global community to which they belong.



So we see thatthrough quite a few people have got the gist of what kitchen tabel entrepreuenship is all about; teh beloved english bard, William Shakespeare made the use of english language to be the primary target of his educational objective. Now we see that theuse of english has become a global phenomenon; Bill Gate saw computers coming, and he thought it was best to devote his youthful time and energy to the creation of something that would last the times



Man and His Environment



Look all around you - the architecture, infrastructures, transportation, the magnifence of the things around us, and thinking how could he have managed all that he has created, and those things already created by the forerunners of our modern cultures. The interdependency of creations, and inventions show that through the ages man has always had a vision of what he wants for his community, and acts in concerts with all those concerned to make it possible and achievable.



Man has always known he is never alone. Those who live around him, and whom he serves with his talent make up his world. Nothing else would do but the best. The marketplace would NOT tolerate mediocrity for too long. The marketplace of entrepreneurial innovation is open and ready for hot new products and services from the stables of KTEs who are ready and willing to to stand ther ground, and refuse to quit.



It must be borne in mind is that those who stay long in the marketplace don't quit too soon. Before the next innovation is served on the platter of community vision, the people have grown in taste, number, and complex demography. Innovation must grow to meet the challenges of the new times.
