\"blowingbubbles\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Somewhere in between the stereotype and the truth<\/h3>\n

‘Hippies’ are often associated with a removal from ‘the real world’. They’re blissed out, unaware of the true realities of how our society actually functions. It’s all planting trees, doing sun salutations and blowing bubbles.<\/p>\n

Often times their points of view are far<\/em> left, viewing economic and political freedom as an evil<\/strong> — seeing it<\/em> as the source of most of the world’s problems. The corporate drones must be stopped. Unrestricted wealth pollutes absolutely.<\/p>\n

It’s as narrow-minded a view as the people and businesses they scorn. It’s still an either\/or, black\/white way to think<\/strong>. They’re saying economic gain and personal development can not co-exist together.<\/p>\n

Do good and make money too.<\/h3>\n

An innerpreneur, however, understands that political and economic freedom is their tool<\/strong> for personal growth and for encouraging social and environmental responsibility. You can have your cake and eat it too.<\/p>\n

Business isn’t bad or dirty, it just lacks meaning and purpose sometimes.<\/h3>\n

But things are changing. There are many of us optimistic creators sneaking around, quietly growing in numbers, getting fat and blissing this world out.<\/p>\n
