\"Focus\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been talking about Innerpreneuring more and more lately… and it’s got me excited and it’s got me thinking. It’s helping me to focus on my purpose and ask\u00a0 a tough question — how can I best support our movement and the people behind it, AND realize my goals?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ve concluded that spreading the word, inspiring the people and supporting the businesses behind the<\/strong><\/strong> movement, <\/strong>is my single-minded purpose<\/strong>. It’s the way that I know how to contribute best. It feels true to Me, and it prevents me from being something I am not.\u00a0 I’m not forum manager, or a community animator, or even a community lover. I add value to the world in different, but just as valuable, ways.<\/p>\n

So, I’m taking down the forum and focusing on…<\/p>\n

Talking with and writing about Innerpreners.<\/h3>\n

Because this is what I enjoy and dream of doing more of. It is what I am passionate about.<\/p>\n

I add value by speaking about and with Innerpreneurs, as I did on Saturday with The Get Real Girls on FM107<\/a> in Minneapolis. My first time on the radio!<\/p>\n

I add value by exploring and promoting Innerpreneuring here, and with other publishers, as I did with Life Coach Ana Ottaman. She published my 4 article series, introducing Innerpreneuring to her community:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Introducing Innerpreneuring — looking within to find the career that is right for you<\/li>\n
  2. What it takes to build your dream business — exploration, commitment, and belief<\/li>\n
  3. Using your voice to shape your dreams — expressing what you care about; your passion is your brand<\/li>\n
  4. Doing the work to realize your dreams — strategically choosing your future one day at a time<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I add value by connecting one-on-one with Innerpreneurs through my coaching, our Toronto meetups or via almost-real coffee dates, like the one I had with Michelle Franco<\/a> over Skype video last week. These personal, offline interactions are what feels good to me.<\/p>\n

    Making a difference, and making a profit, by supporting and pursuing My goals and dreams.<\/h3>\n

    I’m sharpening my focus on what I do best, and dedicating my time and energy to growing these talents. I’m cultivating my one track mind in support of my goal to write a book, to make cool things of value, to improve as a coach, to connect with and support Innerpreneurs, and to explore the world.<\/p>\n
