Releasing Yourself

There is something Yogic about the progression of thinking about money. It starts with “What do you want to be?” which is all about you. It moves to “what problems are you solving?” which is all about the problem, but still has you at the centre of the solution. Then it shifts to “what problems are being solved, and who is best placed to solve them?” which shifts you out of the equation entirely (if necessary/desired). Then if the problems are being solved in an Engine that is generating energy, that energy can be used somewhere else that has nothing to do with problems. Not everything needs to be monetised. But we need money. Capital building can create pools of resources to direct at the problems we face. It can also create streams of income to support the things that are good ideas, but not good business ideas. Capital can set Labour free.

Not all good ideas are good business ideas
