My Innerpreneur

Business Growth from the Inside Out

Simply Entrepreneurs We Are Not

by Tara Joyce | Innerpreneurship

Saying we are entrepreneurs is not giving us enough credit. We are more than that. We are innerpreneurs and we are a whole other tribe.

We Aren’t All Business.

We do what we are. Our businesses have been started for our personal fulfillment. They are our means for expression and our avenue to make a difference. They were not started to for monetary reasons.

Life experience and exploration energize and inspire us. We do not want our businesses to consume our lives. We want to travel, learn and grow.

We are Idealists, Psychologically.

Our temperament, I believe, is what really makes us innerpreneurs. We are idealists naturally.

Dr. Keirsey defines idealists as people who:

  • are enthusiastic, trust our intuition, yearn for romance, seek our true selves, prize meaningful relationships, and dream of attaining wisdom.
  • pride ourself on being loving, kindhearted, and authentic.
  • are giving, trusting, spiritual, and focused on our personal journey and human potential.

Idealists have the iNtuative Feelers (or NF) aspects of their personality type.

I doubt that is true of every ‘entrepreneur’ you meet. We are unique and we are going to change the world.

The idealist temperment is just a theory. Let me know if it describes you.

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

[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.
