Making money (or “profit”) has been our main driver and reason we go to work every day, or start our own business.
It’s also the reason why we study and get more and more certificates or diplomas - because we think it will result in earning more money.
This is the paradigm we’ve lived by all our lives: Work hard and you'll make a lot of money.
This paradigm was based on Newtonian consciousness: we make a movement in the world through our efforts, and the efforts produce material gains.
But now that our consciousness is evolving, business and our drivers are evolving, too, of course.
I watched this clip yesterday, and this post is basically my interpretation of what the speaker says (I highly recommend watching it, though, especially if you're into Human Design.)
What if things have changed and effort isn't anymore what will drive our business forward and produce “success” and money?
We all know people - entrepreneurs or employees - who work hard every day and still don’t seem to become “successful” or make the money they hope for. Maybe we have been in the same situation. Physical, mental or emotional effort often doesn’t seem to create material gains anymore, or it’s becoming increasingly difficult.
“Work hard and you’ll be successful” as the Newtonian paradigm is becoming old and outdated.
In the new economy, the driver for success is “wellbeing", rather than just “profit”.
That means wellbeing for all - ourselves, our clients, our colleagues, our communities - instead of just profit for ourselves.
Of course our business will only be successful if it creates sustainable wellbeing for ourselves, too, but the best way to get there is to focus on the wellbeing of our clients and customers.
So instead of “how will I profit” we should ask ourselves “how can I serve”. And of course “How can I be sustainable in the services that I give.”
Anything inauthentic will no longer survive
Any business that is not rooted in truth and integrity will not be sustainable anymore.
In fact, we may observe many businesses fail or collapse in the near future for this very reason (banks…?) Because of course making a profit has been the main objective for the big businesses out there, too.
At the same time, we should consciously support those business who are based in truth and actively contribute to the wellbeing of all. This is another way for us to contribute.
We are moving from Newtonian Consciousness to Quantum Consciousness, which says that,
Our observation of matter (or components/particles) changes how these particles behave.
In other words, our observation of the world around us, changes our experience of the world.
So the more we support good businesses, and the more we run our own from a place of service and integrity, the more we shape and improve our world for the wellbeing of all.
This is all very theoretical
...but I do believe intention counts.
Everything starts with an intention. Even if we don't know yet exactly how to do this practically, and it's hard to let go of the "I have to work hard" notion, we can begin by setting an intention for ourselves, and by actively seeking out good businesses to support.
The Blockchain makes it practical
In addition I believe blockchain technology facilitates new, good businesses.
The Blockchain allows us to bring inclusion to people in even the most remote places of the world. It also removes (or at least decreases) the hierarchies and brings more and more equality to our world. Both are improving the wellbeing for people and communities who have been excluded so far.
Platforms like Steemit and organisations like The Sunexchange or the Pineapple Fund are good examples of that.
Do you know of any good companies who already demonstrate the new paradigm?
