Knowledge Management & Mental Foundation as a Formula of Successful Entrepreneurs
Successful entrepreneurs are successful because of their positive perception towards business failures, business challenges, criticism, mistakes in business and life in general. This is the sole reason why I emphasize the need for a change of mindset before ever starting a business.
Today, in the era of the digital market, we call it “E-Commerce”. The market now is more widerspread and increasing competition. Internet provides marketers with new ways of identifying and communicating with customers. Entrepreneurs come in all shapes and sizes, but successful usually have some things in common. Employers certainly face many obstacles from the first day they have a business dream. One industry that is highly developed is the developer of the game.
According to Mr. Arif as CEO Agate one of the game industry in Indonesia, he builds the first dream with very limited capital and human resources. Starting from 15 people who have a background as a designer and techniques that have the same passion, the game. Without a business background, are desperate they have been executing their business dreams. He said that “Idea it’s not the important thing, without execution valid to the market. Execution as good as your positive mental attitude”
Cureently, Agate is the popular Game Industry in Indonesia even creeping collaboration in international projects. This proves that successful entrepreneurs do not depart from the theory of others without themselves involved in it. E-commerce has opened the space of innovation and start forming a new culture in human civilization today. This proved that not only focuss on the customer and supplier intimacy but also on their employe intimacy for achive their efectiveness way.
Agate which is actually a digital market, was able to grow with their slogan a fun way to work Work should be fun. Passion can’t be taught. When it wanes, as it surely will in difficult times, take some quiet time. People have confidence in trustworthy individuals and want to work for them in a culture of integrity. The same is true for customers.

It has the same basic purpose, Ai??to improve the quality of performe of employees. Ai??Others words to increasing the “A positive mental attitude”. How about the others important thing? Knowledge management.
Knowledge management (KM) is the process of capturing, developing, sharing, and effectively using organizational knowledge.It refers to a multi-disciplinary approach to achieving organizational objectives by making the best use of knowledge. Knowledge management efforts typically focus on organisational objectives such as improved performance, competitive advantage, innovation, the sharing of lessons learned, integration and continuous improvement of the organisation.
KM efforts overlap with organisational learning and may be distinguished from that by a greater focus on the management of knowledge as a strategic asset and a focus on encouraging the sharing of knowledge.It is an enabler of organisational learning.
