Further to this discussion, I read Tim Berry’s blog post this morning on Selling without selling your soul. You’ll love #3 – it’s exactly what you’re talking about here.

Ack! All you gorgeous people stopped by and left wonderful comments without me realising – I must have a malfunction in my comment notification gizmo.

Thank you one and all for your thoughts:-

@Victoria: I have read that mindful entrepreneurialism may be *the* way forward in creating a sustainable world for all of us. Bring on the early education!

@JoVE: “Deschooling” – love it. Lately, I’ve been thinking about all the changes I’ve experienced on my entrepreneurial journey so far, and seeing it not as ‘transformation’, but more ‘unformation’. Unpacking assumptions and barriers to reveal that inner potential.

@GirlPie: Thank YOU! Soft mindedness is awesome. Even saying it draws me towards the feeling of being in that state. It’s light and floaty and it allows everything to flow through – yes even close minded people.

@Goddess Leonie: Wow, thank you for the suggestion and vote of confidence my dear. I’m loving sharing this online but offline is definitely something I’ll look into too.

Oh man! I LOVE this list — especially ‘be soft minded’ — I get the need to practice action and patience, and for being present and humble — but I never thought about being soft-minded as a lovely counter-point to the “open-minded” quality that I have and encourage. Maybe if I’m soft-minded, I won’t judge so quickly when someone isn’t ‘open-minded’ ~ HA!

Thanks, and keep up the good works ~

Excellent post. I live in several worlds. One of them is the homeschooling world. And there are so many parallels. In homeschooling circles we call it "deschooling". And I think that is a process entrepreneurs (and maybe others) need to go through, too. We need to figure out how to act in a world where we get to make a lot of the decisions about what we learn, when and how we learn it, and what we do with that learning.

Really excellent post, Rebecca! I love how you've distilled "entrepreneurial learning" into specific categories or actions we can take. It is so different from formal education. I often wonder what would our world would look like if school taught us entrepreneurial learning as well as the other kind. Victoria Brouhard’s last blog post..Moving Ahead without All the Answers
