Economics for the Innerpreneur
[tweetmeme]
A perfectly rational world?
Conventional economic theory assumes perfect knowledge – of prices, markets and people. From this knowledge it extracts a “rational economic order” – a pattern to explain how economies work and how economic agents (e.g., buyers and sellers) interact. It is a theory that attempts to explain the production, consumption, and transfer of wealth.
Conventional economic (and business) thought focuses on elements from only the physical realm – such as resources, commodities and technologies. It does not extend to the mental or conscious realm.
Conventionally, wealth is seen as nothing more than what we have manifested in the physical realm.
A bigger view of economics
George Shackle was the first economist to challenge that the “algebra of business” is not a deterministic, linear science.
You Won’t Know How

Forget How to Do It — Commit to What You Do
You’ll never know how to do it until you commit to what you are doing. Your success in whatever you choose is a matter of commitment.
Your choices are your daily commitment
In my experience, when I completely commit to the what — that something that I feel passionate about — I trigger the how — the means and answers I seek.
Stuff Undone, Things Unsaid (or I’m now on facebook and I’m writing my first book)
[tweetmeme] I’m writing my first book. It’s about my experiences and learning letting my customers determine the price they pay for my work.
I’ve been pricing this way for over a year and a half. I’ve been thinking about writing this book for over a year and three-quarters. I’ve been writing it for over six months.
It’s painful. I’m procrastinating.
I’ve barely written anything, and what I did write, I’m not feeling good about.
Every day, I ask myself, will you write some of it today? Each day, I don’t.
I haven’t since July.
Lovingly Crafted By
Hi there, I’m Tara Joyce.
Unfulfilled at 26, I decided to start my own business to explore how I could be of service. Quickly, I was attracted to the seemingly backwards strategy of not setting a price and to allowing my customers to determine the value of my offering. Today, my “Pay What It’s Worth” concept supports people globally in exploring their own fear-based ideas around money, value, and business relationships.
