Resources for Conscious Entrepreneurship and Leaderpreneurship

What are you reading, viewing, or listening to that helps you raise your own consciousness as it relates to your business?

Sometimes, it's things we read, conversations we have, or events we participate in that inspire us to see and recognize hidden aspects of ourselves, others, and the world.

What are you currently reading or listening to that others might find useful?

What's a Conscious Leaderpreneur?

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines an entrepreneur as "one who organizes, operates, and assumes the risk for a business venture."

To me, that description seems rather weak and austere. In my experience and observation, entrepreneurs are much more than that; they are innovative, creative, and committed.

To me, an entrepreneur is someone who is inspired to build the business of their dreams based on their sense of a deep underlying purpose and burning passion to express their gifts.

On the other hand, a leader is one who provides guidance and direction.

So, a "leaderpreneur" might refer to one who guides and directs a business based on clear purpose and burning passion, in a creative, innovative manner, and is willing to shine their brilliance in areas where none has shone before.

Ken Wilber, author of "A Theory for Everything: An Integral Vision for Business, Politics, Science, and Spirituality," describes consciousness as "having an awareness of one's inner and outer worlds; mentally perceptive, awake, mindful."

Along these lines, consider that "conscious leaderpreneurship" might mean engaging in both leadership and entrepreneurship in a manner that is mindful, awake, innovative, creative, as well as both purpose-and passion-driven, and contributes to elevating the awareness of humanity.
