Extrinsic motivation such as stock options and bonuses given to K-professionals are no longer sustainable because this ploy is temporal for as long as emerging industries enjoy a stock market boom. Today's K-professionals must have professional discipline to develop a high degree of professional pride to achieve excellence through self-directed initiatives increasing favourable perceived value. K-professionals must continue to build strong positive work habits and loyalty towards their chosen profession and not organisation. This is result of emergence of extreme careers and departure of dream careers where K-professionals are searching for organisations that can provide employability and not job security.

K- professionals must have a strong desire for ideas generation and a passion to create critical and valuable knowledge at work place. Creativity alone will not be sufficient in K-economy, as significant focus on innovation must be in place to make things happen. K- professionals must have knowledge, skills, an attitude and habit for self-driven continuous innovation to achieve significant work improvements.

Solution focus mindset is belief that there is a solution to every challenge and having a positive end result in mind. This means to say that concept of local problems with global solutions by leveraging on organisational and individual knowledge to create more effective solutions. This can be done through a culture of preservation by capturing, storing, updating and constantly leveraging on valuable knowledge to address work challenges. As a result, higher knowledge retention of both tacit and explicit knowledge is achieved within solution focus workgroup.

In addition, K-professionals will synchronise personal focus with work goals for personal development by constantly creating personal knowledge capital. For K-professionals to be forward thinking and self-driven individuals, they must leverage on intrinsic motivation to achieve sustainable performance.

Therefore, K-professionals are not technology professionals but competent professionals with right attitude, knowledge and skills supported by technical abilities.

7) First Drafts Are Always A Laugh. ************************************* The first draft of your plan will undoubtedly resemble incoherent ramblings--jumbled stream-of-semi-consciousness ideas that look nothing like what you had hoped it would. Don't be disappointed or frustrated.

8) You Deserve A Break Today. ********************************* Put draft away for a few days, come back to it fresh, and begin revising and rewriting. Magically, after several more revisions, ideas will all come together and language of plan will flow.

9) The Plan Is Your Baby--It Needs To Look Like You. **************************************************** The business plan should reflect personality of your management team, and type of company you want to create. As reader goes through it, he/she should get to know people involved in company, their vision, their objectives, and their enthusiasm for company and industry. Tell story of your company in your own voice. A plan for a music production company would look much different than a plan for a medical device manufacturer.

10) Not Everyone Has A Flair For Fiction. ****************************************** Business plans are essentially works of fiction--documents that talk about what you imagine, plan and hope may occur in future, not what has already occurred. This type of writing is difficult for everyone. You've heard of "writer's block". The problems you are having keeping words flowing are precisely ones faced by great writers, except many of them have to keep going because publisher has given them a unreachable deadline and they've already spent their advance, but you of course, having read tip #1 Rome Wasn't Planned, Funded, and Built in One Day have allowed plenty of time to finish business plan--so there's no reason to feel pressured. Right?
