Become an Eco-Entrepreneur

Just in case you hadn’t noticed yet – the economy is changing drastically!

What is changing is the fundamental structure, direction and means of profit. In the old economic model profit was related to how much money you had available. Making more profit was considered the objective of every good business. It was also very much a cutthroat economy where the more economically advantaged were able to take advantage of those less financially capable. Essentially this was a model where love of money dominated and people and the environment were considered viable options for exploitation to earn a profit. In the old economy profit was often made by letting other people pay the real costs of doing business. It was a cutthroat model where the motto was “everyone for themselves!”

The reality of this old economic model is easily seen in the vast disparity of the modern countries and 3rd world countries. In the 3rd world resources have been pillaged, workers exploited, and the environment has been polluted to the point where people are suffering from severe health issues and even dying!

Additionally the old economy was based on a speculative model of production and profit. This speculation got so out of hand and so fragmented that it has led directly to over-production with available resources and ultimately to the collapse of our financial system.

But that’s the old economy and we’ve moved past that now. Today we are living in the new Eco-Economy. In this new model instead of having a love of money, the Eco-Entrepreneurs have a love of people. Profit is made by resource evolution or the building of new resources that can be used sustainably. Eco-Entrepreneurs no longer think of business with a cutthroat mentality but recognize that they are mutually interdependent upon each other for success. They realize that by supporting each other and evolving the resource base they can create a sustainable growth rate that is built on a solid foundation. Eco-Entrepreneurs take each new step by standing on the resources they’ve created already. Profit is now measured in terms of the resource benefit created for others.

The defining differences for Eco-Entrepreneurs is not just “how” they do business but how they “approach” doing business. In the old economy decisions were made by a hierarchy of people. In the Eco-Economy the driving factor becomes a hierarchy of Sustainable Values and Innovative Actions. With this model Eco-Entrepreneurs are able to make simple and clear decisions that direct the mutual support and mutual success of the entire Eco-Economy.

The Sustainable Values of an Eco-Entrepreneur are:

1. Self-Sufficiency
2. Self-Relationship
3. Self-Care
4. Connection
5. Passion
6. Intention
7. Manifestation

By using these values to make decisions they ensure that everything that is created is sustainably built on the solid foundation of what’s underneath it. No longer are they seeking to exploit another group of people or area but instead are focused on creating their own sustainability and supporting the sustainability of everyone else they do business with.

The Innovative Actions of an Eco-Entrepreneur are:

1. Generate Resources (Create)
2. Trading Time (Innovate)
3. Residual Resources (Sustain)
4. Resource Advocacy (Grow)

Eco-Entrepreneurs use this series of actions to build strong and sustainable businesses. The first step and method of creating sustainable profit is in creating new opportunities or resources to be utilized. In other words, instead of exploiting resources they are creating them as a part of doing business. Eco-Entrepreneurs also recognize that time is their biggest resource and must be used in an innovative way to generate value and success. The next step is in creating residual resources that can be used over and over and over without being depleted. This can also be viewed as putting effort into creating a product or service that is then easily replicated. The last step is perhaps one of the most important for the Eco-Entrepreneur. Because the economy is no longer cutthroat everyone’s success is dependent on everyone else’s success as well. By taking the time to support fellow Eco-Entrepreneurs in their own endeavors and in generating new resources the success, sustainability and profit of everyone is increased. The advocacy stage of Eco-Entrepreneurship is about help others out in continuing their own business.

Becoming an Eco-Entrepreneur is as simple as that – understand your own Sustainable Values as the source of all your decisions and follow the Innovative Action plan. This is the model for success in the new Eco-Economy. Those who are ready to begin today will get back to patterns of success and thriving businesses faster!

But this is far more than just a business model. The Eco-Entrepreneur is a model of how to live in the new society we have moved into. It is about your home, your lifestyle, your business, your family and your friends. By engaging this model in every area of your life you become another new resource in a resource based Eco-Economy!
