Fresh Words, Fresh Space

Pay What It’s Worth: You Don’t Need to Set a Price on Value is on the cusp of being published by Integral Publishers, and I’m happy to be blowing the dust off my keyboard and getting back into things.

… And I’m Back!

I feel as though I’ve grown beyond Rise of the Innerpreneur in this past year and half and I’m ready to put a fresh voice on this space. To renew what feels lifeless. I’ve decided to use this space now to reflect on who I was then. I’m going to revisit my old posts in...

A New Adventure Awaits…

Next Saturday, I am due to give birth to my daughter, who is the first child of Daniel and I. While I do not know what is in store for us, but I trust and I can feel this is the greatest adventure we have ever undertaken. This moment, right now, feels like the space...

Transforming…

I see now this space, this blog, was originally created by me as a place where I could feel free to express myself, perhaps for the first time since I was a young child. A space that is sacred to me, it has brought me much joy as my life has unfolded and transformed...

What Being an Innerpreneur Means to Me (And Only Me)

What Being an Innerpreneur Means to Me (And Only Me)

InnerpreneurWord

[tweetmeme] I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it again, I did not make the word Innerpreneur up. I was only drawn to it once upon a time ago (early 2007) when I was starting my business.

I saw the book Karma Queens, Geek Gods and Innerpreneurs in the bookstore and despite the fact that I had little interest in the book’s overall themes, I bought it. I was compelled by the term, Innerpreneur, and intrigued by the people it described.

It spoke to me. I connected with it. I didn’t totally understand what being an Innerpreneur meant but I found truth in it.

Leaving Commentary

Leaving Commentary

Commentary

A wise woman asked me recently after I received a hate-full comment on my blog if I would stand in front of an arena of people and sincerely ask for them to tell me what they think of my outfit, or better yet, my self.

My answer was no. Absolutely not. I would not do that. The opinions of total strangers are not something I want or value.

Next, she asked me if I would stand in front of a group of people I respected and ask them what they think.

My answer was yes. Absolutely I would. The feedback of people I respect, and that respect me, is something I value very much.

No place for commentary in my world.

Feedback, to me, is thoughtful communication intended to support my growth and improvement. It helps me close the circle. It’s love-full.
