Warren Buffett. One of the richest and most influential entrepreneurs in the world who takes pride in both his reading habits and his introversion.

Because, against all odds, introverts truly make exceptional leaders.

Some of these reasons contributes to their productivity, making them highly efficient as entrepreneurs.

Because their outlook is so holistic, introverts are way more realistic than feedback-hungry extroverts by staying silently analytical, less-emotional and fond of listening.

Being ready, willing, and able to hear other people’s ideas, introverted entrepreneurs are more likely to solve issues and encourage growth.

Introverts Are Driven, but Humble. introverts are intrinsically driven, self-motivated, and self-sufficient. Not having to wait for anyone’s confirmation and approval, introverts work towards their goals with utter commitment and laser focus.

“With one billion monthly users spending almost an hour on Instagram every day, IGTV only stands to increase that number. The brands who will do well on IGTV are the ones who know what kind of content their audiences like and use that information to create relevant, timely and engaging content, retaining viewer attention for longer.”, Yuval Ben-Itzhak, CEO at Socialbakers.

In the few weeks that IGTV has been live, huge brands have been putting out videos and racking up the views. These videos have been effective as they have been editing them in the vertical format, creating content which showcases their brand in the correct way for their intended audience, and taking advantage of the extended run time.

Monetisation of ads on IGTV is still undecided, but with dedication from the viewer to keep watching, in between ads could be a great spot for businesses to get their name in the feed.

Mitos atau kearifan lokal? Berdasar filosofi Jawa, hari Selasa dan Sabtu adalah hari “pamali”, jika melakukan aktifitas yang tidak diperbolehkan akan berulah karma. “Pindah rumah tidak boleh Selasa dan Sabtu, aktifitas perdagangan ramai pun tidak disarankan.

 Di Jakarta ada Pasar Senen sampai Pasar Minggu. Tapi tidak ada yang namanya Pasar Selasa dan Sabtu. "Pasar Senen, Pasar Rebo, Pasar Kemis di Jatinegara, Pasar Jumat itu tempatnya penjual barang bekas atau loak dekat Cililitan, dan Pasar Minggu terletak di daerah Pasar Minggu, Jakarta Selatan.

Hal itu pun dibahas oleh Arkeolog Universitas Indonesia, Candrian Attahiyyat dalam diskusi Pameran Toponomi 'Wall of Frame' Sejarah Betawi di Gedung NAS, Pasar Seni Ancol, Jakarta, Minggu, 1 Juli 2018 yang lalu.

Diungkapkan oleh Candrian, alasannya ternyata lekat dengan kepercayaan orang zaman dulu dan kearifan lokalnya. Orang dulu percaya, kalau kedua hari itu kurang bagus untuk kegiatan ramai. Apapun itu, hingga kini, hanya terdapat 5 harian pasar di Jakarta.

Mengawali Miumosa, beragam cibiran dan sentimen negatif menggerus keteguhan hati. Bagaimana tidak, menggarap pasar niche itu menjadi momok yang nampak menakutkan, tidak populer, membutuhkan investasi yang tidak sedikit, dianggap tidak menguntungkan dalam keberlangsungan usaha, terutama, bagi seorang start up mandiri.  

Jika tidak karena Miumosa itu adalah bentuk nyata inner vision saya dan keyakinan bahwa Miumosa akan menjadi luar biasa di masa yang akan datang, maka mustahil bagi Miumosa tetap bertahan, tumbuh dan terus melakukan inovasi di segala lini divisi usaha.

Hingga suatu ketika, saya bertemu dengan sosok-sosok imaginatif, kreatif dan inspiratif dengan hasil-hasil karya yang otentik dan extra-ordinary, namun berhenti seketika di tengah jalan. Entah karena miss-management, running of capital atau kurang tepat memformulasikan brand nya, membuat rekan-rekan ini kurang mendapatkan ekspektasi yang diharapkan.

Maka tercetuslah ide untuk menjembatani brand-brand start up ini untuk bersatu, berkolaborasi dan bersinergi. Saling menguatkan, memberikan dukungan moriil dan materiil, dan menciptakan peluang usaha yang prospektif. Miumosa memfasilitasi layanan sebagai art-fashion multimedia content provider. Mulai dari brand campaign for Niche Market Goods, mengemas produksi kreatif seperti Photo dan Video Shoot, Iklan komersial, Film-making, Documentary Video, hingga yang sifatnya digital contents.

My eyes seek for Perfections! Pertemuan dengan sosok Ethnicpreneur yang lekat sebagai Bapaknya Kampanye Budaya Kaltim, Anas Maghfur, seraya membuka pintu untuk berkolaborasi. Melalui brand kesohornya AEMTOBE yang fokus mengangkat kearifan lokal Indonesia melalui kain tenun nusantara dengan motif yang tidak biasa, Tabba Malebbi dan Balo Sikko Laa turut memberi nafas dalam koleksi sepatu wanita Miumosa the Heels, yang akan datang.

“Fashion is about change- and I like Change. I do it like I breathe”, as Karl Lagerfeld's wisdom that remains.
