I’m always curious about our cultural tendency of hero worship for sports icons, politicians or celebrities. Having worked with each of those categories of people during my years in film & tv, I found that usually their depth of soul or knowledge wasn’t as impressive as the entrepreneurs I now serve.
What about those innovators who are really changing our world with at least as much talent, discipline and hard work as anyone else- artists & entrepreneurs?Why don’t we ‘hero worship’ them?
ENTREPRENEURS CHANGE THE WORLD
While artists (writers, musicians, filmakers, photographers, etc.) expand our thinking, it’s our risk taking entrepreneurs who make vital changes to our lives: just think how much time is saved with entrepreneurial invention of cel phones or email communication. Or how easy it is to find answers on Google than it was just a relatively few years ago. Why don’t we worship the artists or philosophers who stimulate entirely new ways of thinking that change our lives, our world?
WHO ARE ENTREPRENEURS DESERVING THIS HERO WORSHIP?
While Google gets the press, there are many worthy entrepreneurs I get to meet in my work. I look forward to featuring a few in this series of “ENTREPRENEURS: DESERVING HERO WORSHIP”
“MULTIPLE KINETIC SYSTEMS” , HUNTERDON, NEW JERSEY
Tucked away in the pharma belt of New Jersey are four entrepreneurs who are taking on conventional medicine by offering a brand of innovative “five level” treatments healing patients in ways that allopathic doctors simply have no training for, no knowledge or experience. Connecting physical, neuro, holistic dental, and even family constellation therapy their methods are delivering significant patient results. One of their philosophies: “love is all”. Begs inquiry, doesn’t it?Details and articles on web. Learn tips on their facebook page. I’m honored to help their company and learn from their entrepreneurial spirit.
“A GENIE LIVING IN LOS ANGELES”, CALIFORNIA
Linda Salazar, author of Awaken the Genie Within, takes her background in filmmaking to help clients develop new life stories of their own through her coaching and books. Now that’s inspired entrepreneurialism!
She presents nationally to nursing and hospital organizations teaching her unique form of ‘geneology’ – magical techniques for practical wisdom. Her books remind us how to create new stories (or ways of being) that save our souls, stresses and life challenges, or cope with difficult people at work and keep our ‘gremlins’ at bay so our ‘genies’ can thrive.
She really walks her talk! I just haven’t seen her give up in the years I’ve been helping her promote her talents – I’ve learned so much about my own ‘gremlin’ by watching her ‘genie’ cheer us on.
Linda’s booklet 52 Tips for a Magical Marriage After Your Child is Born has great tips to keep a marriage joyous after the huge shift of having a child. I found it inspiring even for us animal parents. If you know an organization who could benefit from providing these books to their members/patrons, please let us know.
“SAVING CITIES FROM ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER” SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
Douglas Herring & Associates enables projects to get built for cities, counties or public agencies through planning their environmental impact to protect natural resources. To me, Doug is another kind of genie who figures out how to get their projects expeditiously approved and built through his high quality knowledge, planning and environmental analysis.
Better, he’s an avid hiker, biker and lover of our earth. Isn’t that someone who you want to protect our environmental rights with his complex analyses and planning? He’s one of those brave entrepreneurs holding onto a verifiably worthy business even in this slowdown of economic development nationally.
You likely won’t get to meet this unlikely hero at Douglas Herring & Associates unless you manage a city or county planning office, or a development project, but you can certainly email him at his website to let him know he’s appreciated!
