If we look at -preneurship as a term used to describe our personal brand, what form of -preneurship best communicates your value?

Entre-preneurship: taking charge of your own business

Literally, the word means: “begin to take charge” but is often defined as the practice of starting a new business. Entrepreneurial behaviour describes investing time and money in the creation and development of a new enterprise.

Intra-preneurship: taking charge within a business

Management Consultant Gifford Pinchot coined the term while exploring the role of spiritual values in business. He later wrote a popular book called Intrapreneuring and the term is now used to describe and encourage entrepreneurial attitudes within companies.
Xerox and 3M are two businesses that have adopted intrapreneurial strategies and structures to encourage creative development of new products.

Inter-preneurship: taking charge within your group

Common of task and project teams that constructively operate across functional and operational lines, interpreneurial behaviour describes a group taking charge for the greater interest of a company as a whole.

Inner-preneurship: taking charge of your own life

The gift of an examined life. Innerpreneurial behaviour describes a person who is self directed in the management of their career, wellness and financial issues and transitions.
The Innerpreneurial strategy is knowing your Self well and connecting that Self to the evolving needs of your stakeholders.

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.
