What We Stand For

We all know that many of the old ways of working aren’t working anymore and new ways of working are emerging. At Inspired Entrepreneur we know your work can, and should affirm, nourish and express the strengths and spirit within you and bridge the gap between your spirituality and your real world results. We know that you can do work you love and find meaningful and get paid, often very well paid, for it.

Here are the eleven principles that inspired and spiritually intelligent entrepreneurs share and that we care about:

	Authenticity: the world is hungry for your realness and authenticity, not your super-slick invulnerable professionalism. You can show up in your messy glory – with your gifts and your unique humanness
	Work for Love and Money: Your primary motivation is to work with and for love, and you are very willing to receive money in return for the contribution you make. Your success comes from the potent unification of your heart and your head.
	Be of Service: When you unify your work and passion you unleash the brilliance within you; there's a contribution you are uniquely here to make and the world needs you to show up with your greatness more than ever.
	Release Your Potential: Wrapping your own business around the work you love is the perfect vehicle for discovering the personal, creative and spiritual potential that already lies within you.
	We need each other: There are some thresholds you cannot cross alone; we need each other’s love and encouragement. You're most joyful, and you make your greatest contribution, when you're plugged into a vibrant and supportive community with collaborative relationships. Together, we can do so much.
	Dream Big, Start Small, Act Now: Start to get yourself where your heart wants to be! By dreaming big, starting small, and continually taking baby steps, your adventure unfolds and the dream in your heart will come to fruition. With each step, you learn and grow in confidence, ability and possibility.
	Inspiration is Power: Inspiration awakens your dormant talents, gifts and capacities. When you continually connect with, invest in and nurture your inspiration, you will continually evolve
	Move Past Your Resistance: At every step, you'll need to become aware of your resistance and then show up and act in the face of your fear, doubt and resistance. By digging deep into your wells of courage, you can give birth to your greatest self.
	Generous Leadership: You are a force for good. You're called to become a leader in your life and to be your best for the world. By kindly, generously and actively showing up and contributing your gifts and talents, you'll inspire others to discover and contribute the best in themselves.
	Life Long Learning, Unlearning and Growth: Commit to a life long journey of learning new skills, personal growth and shedding all old ideas, beliefs and attitudes that you’ve inherited around work and business so you can embrace truly life-affirming beliefs.
	Trust Your Heart: Your inner wisdom and spirit is always guiding your next steps, and your richest experiences come when you listen to, and act on, your inner voice. You are in service to yourself, others and the greater good.
