We’ve got to stop with the blame.

We’ve got to stop blaming ‘business’, aka money, for the world’s problems. ‘Business’ is not a dirty word. Yes, some businesses selfishly seek profits at the expense of their consumers, workers, community and environment but not all. To make a sweeping statement about ‘business’, to reject money as an evil, it makes no sense. It completely ignores how the world actually works. Business and money make the world go round (not literally but figuratively). It propels the community.

You can’t escape it, you can’t deny it.

You need it.

Love money.

It’s okay to want it. It’s okay if it motivates you. It should.

Being an innerpreneur is about making money too. It’s People, Planet, Profit. You get to win too. You deserve to be compensated for the good work you do. So make it a priority. It doesn’t make you, or your business, any less creative, holistic or helpful. It doesn’t make you any less passionate.

The reality is humans use money to show appreciation and support, and it is just as valid an expression as words. So let it pour over you.

Business is the solution.

Our innerpreneurial dreams hold the answers to a lot of the world’s problems. But they’ll remain dreams if we don’t root them in reality. Money is necessary to sustain a business. The distinction between being good and making money needs to be removed.

Welcome abundance into your life in all its forms. Money’s only dirty if you treat it that way.

    P.S.,
    Reflecting on 2012 in the context of the fact -"There’s also the galactic alignment, where our Sun passes through the central axis of the solar system." One can also note that the emergence of the so called 6-Th, Race on earth-"The Indigo People", has started in 05,February,2009 and is supposed to end after 2012. Mankind will have to muddle through a extremely difficult cycle of new vibrations and mankind is advancing through one of its most difficult and critical times for adapting to new ways of life and survival on our planet. The ones who teleport themselves successfully beyond 2012, are supposed to be "Indigo", since this will be the prevailing color of their aura from the existing Rainbow gamma . This has been known and predicted since human life began historically There is however an alternative possibility that our civilization will regress into the "dark ages." Our task is to prepare ourselves for the necessary quantum leap that will
    lead us further on the spiral e of human development. At least that is what the wise books preach.
  • You are much more knowledgeable about the topic than I. Only this week
    did I begin noticing writings, signs, graffiti, etc. on 2012 around
    Toronto. I honestly hadn't heard of the theories before then. It is
    interesting to hear your perspective, Mike. Thanks for sharing.

    Tara,

    I frankly don't believe in such things as "conspiracy theories" in principle, since they lack the necessary scientific evidence.

    2012 is one of those fascinating dates, like the year 2000. There’s a lot of religious convergence surrounding 2012, as well as ancient prophecy.
    There’s also the galactic alignment, where our Sun passes through the central axis of the solar system.
    Having spent some time researching and reflecting on various aspects, I think that it incorporates some science facts, ancient prophecy and contemporary conspiracy theories. There are some objective scientific facts that are often covered such as:
    several areas of modern, as well as ancient technology, that I personally find interesting.
    One can also mention: DNA manipulation, Radio Frequency Identification Devices, High spin monatomic elements or white powder gold.
    These are real science but often consciously overrated in terms of their potential misuse by some dangerous and pathological minds representing certain
    political, military and espionage ("Secret Circles") of our societies that believe that they can achieve "Total Mind Control" over existing societies and transform them into obedient slaves. In reality "Nature" has taken care of this threat, by providing the human mind with everything necessary to efficiently counter such Satanist aspirations.
    That certain individuals as conspirators exist, that analogue to the masonic principles of conspiracy may be misused to create something as an information hysteria
    around the year-2012, in order to achieve some unethical ends, is a well disguised fact.
    That has to be acknowledged and prevented in time by all progressive mankind.
    Our main task is to redesign ourselves as citizens of a new world, based on:
    Trans- cultural and disciplinary education ; Creativity and Trans formative Leadership; Breakthrough Technological Innovations;Systems and Design Thinking.
    Design Thinking can be used to: Drive strategy; Create new markets; Create new offerings;Create new business models; New applications of technology; New ways of connecting to customers; Develop new partner relationships,etc.
    Business tends to focus on inductive thinking based on directly observable facts and deductive thinking such as logic and analysis is based on past evidence. However-
    Design thinking emphasizes on abductive thinking-imagining of what could be possible. This new thinking approach helps us challenge assumed constraints and add to ideas, versus discouraging them.

    Tara it is also curious to hear what you and the rest in the forum think of conspiracy theories-2012?

  • Tara,
    Good thoughts. Another Both/And place. We can do good AND do well. Cheers.
  • Thanks, Tim. I think it's important that our desires to make a
    difference be rooted in modern reality.

    People, planet and doing business. We can't deny it, we need it, and we have to stop with the destructive blame. However we must be conscious of the underlying assumptions that the world is not limitless, and that there is an objective need to collectively and individually create a new model or paradigm from within. All of us who are aware of the problems that "Modern Money Mechanics- A Federal Reserve Publication", cited and analyzed deeply in “Zeitgeist Addendum"- the creation of a pure monetary model of the world, can we realize that hyper inflation can not be a cure through simply introducing more inflation. One must be a suicidal idiot not to realize such a simple fact. So let’s start changing our mindsets and organize our creativity, modern education, combined with breakthrough technological innovations as natural extensions of our awakening minds do the rest of the job. Only then the distinction between good and making healthy money, can and has to be removed! In such a principally new context we will justify ourselves as citizens of the” New World”, that we are about to invent and practically introduce into existence.
    These possesses are very complex and need certain sacrifices from all of us. It will not happen overnight. But believe me it is worth our efforts!
  • Great points, Mike. I am confident that as the situation grows worse,
    humans will step up to the plate. Perhaps that is the only thing that
    can be a catalyst for a mass mindset change.

    Have you heard the 2012 conspiracy theories?
  • I agree that there's nothing wrong with business and money, after all, I'm in business and I too need money to survive. Money, in and of itself, is an inert substance. It takes on the energy it's given.

    The problem that all of the citizens of the world currently face is that the economy has been based on endless growth and expansion with limitless potential wealth - while we live on a planet with finite resources. This may be why people are now disgruntled and looking at business as the blame.

    The solution is one that I feel will have a lot to do with "Innerpreneurs" and the like, who are creating a new model from within.

    There's a big distinction between 'profits' and 'false profits'.
  • Great distinction - profits vs false profits - I hadn't looked at it
    like that before.
  • Wonderful post. Thanks for reminding me of the people, planet, and profit.
  • My pleasure.
