[tweetmeme] I love staring at maps. I get such pleasure from studying the landscape, the cities and the shapes, and imagining what it would feel like to experience that place.
My office is home to a huge map of the world where I place pins for every city, state/province, and country I have visited. And every year I get at least one country closer to my goal of covering it entirely with pins.
For whatever reason, I’ve been thinking a lot about maps this past week, and I thought it might be a fun experiment to create an interactive Innerpreneur map, where any Innerpreneur that feels motivated can add themselves, and their business, to it.

Ever heard the term “the beautiful, the good and the true”?
Plato was the first to note that every event in the physical world has 3 dimensions – the beautiful, the good and the true.
The Beautiful stands for the expression of ‘I’ in the world. It stands for Art or Self. It’s about how you personally see and feel about the event.
The Good stands for the expression of ‘We’ in the world. It stands for Morals or Culture. It’s about not just you but others see the event.

[tweetmeme] I don’t care what the Donald says. The point of business is not to make money. The purpose of business is to expand who you are through what you do. And use profit to achieve a more noble end (and yes, self-development is a noble end).
I believe this because the worth of any business resides largely in it’s human capital (the value of its people) and in it’s intellectual property (the value of the ideas generated by it’s people). People make a business great, and they do so by being provided a vehicle to express who they are, and to create.
It’s this expression of our inner Self that is the real purpose of business, and our ticket to wealth.

It’s not worth the chance.
Go ahead and believe that. Please, continue to agree to your belief that doing what you love will never bring you the wealth you desire.
Please, go on upholding the premise that creating a career from your passion, and fulfilling your physical, mental and spiritual needs, isn’t a recipe for financial gain.
Now, stop and think about this rationally.
Is it logical to believe that you can make more money doing something you tolerate, rather than do something you are gifted at? Wouldn’t a person have far greater long-term earning potential if they used their talents, and expressed their beliefs about life in their work, rather than say, got some job with a steady paycheck?
