Innerpreneurship
One of the attendees from my educational I presented – Dawn of the INNERpreneur – at our Toastmasters Spring Convention wrote ” … felt that workplace was presented in a very depressing light … “. Feedback, both good and bad is good. I enjoy it. Having worked for several companies I can now understand the growth of innerpreneurship, as it allows the individual to follow their interests and aspirations.
Quite honestly, not all workplaces are dead-end jobs and growth-less. Many are very good! My message was simply, “ Be aware to changing tides in the workplace so you are not left high and dry. Ensure your personal growth and development needs/goals are being met “. So, to the attendee from above, ” Don’t Quit Your Job ! ”
Being an INNERpreneurs means promoting social change. It starts when you want personal growth for yourself and a means of starting social change.
So … is INNERpreneurship for everyone ?
Let’s see …
- If you stand to inherit your Dad’s business …
- Have a government or civic pension …
- Own & run your own company …
- Have a contract as an executive with a lavish parachute bonus & exit strategy, even if you screw up …
- Already earn a high 6 or 7 figure salary …
- Are either Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet or the like …
- If you are sitting on an eventual huge inheritance …
- Don’t mind sucking up to your superior(s) at work …
- Believe your company will take care of you …
- Believe your investment(s) will support your latter years …
- You feel you can continue to grow at your day job …
- Were promised a BIG promotion at work …
- Told that as long as you work hard and be dedicated, you will have a secure place with your company …
hhhmmm … then … NO … You don’t need to become an innerpreneur, or adopt INNERpreneurial practises into your life.
Just close this browser window … and go golfing – enjoy life !
To be fair, the above doesn’t preclude an individual from still persuing their INNERpreneurship. And there are still jobs where people are very happy.
I don’t mean to paint a picture of “doom and gloom” 😉 – Just want to ensure people realize their FULL potential.
Before you decide if you are an optimist or a pessimist …Â be a realist first !
