Back to Innerpreneurs
They’ve got the mind. And they are not that rare.

Thank the hippies
The cultural movement never died, only quieted down and grew.
Modern, “ Mainstream” Path - accepting the system - doing the best they can with the Modern world view Est. 1500’s Values money, success, choice, consumption Traditional, “ Cultural Conservative” Path - rejecting the system - reacting against modern, secular views Est. 1870 Values religious conservatism, shared values, familiar customs Cultural Creative Path - going beyond the system - inwardly departing from the Modern materialist worldview Est. 1970 Values authenticity, social and environmental awareness, relationships, personal growth

Meaningful Capitalism
They’re doing good and making money too.

It’s not hippie crap...
...if you’re making money. It’s just better business.

Remove the Either/Or
you can be a good business man and a creative man
you can use your left brain and your right
you can make a difference and make a profit
you can grow your Self and a business

Be an optimistic creator
“Whether you think you can, or whether you think you can’t, you’re right.” - Henry Ford
