ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the author discusses a framework for design, entrepreneurship and basically any and all endeavor. This framework consists of purpose, meaning, innovation, business, value, time, and money. The author explores rational approaches, heart-centered approaches, prime motivators and meaning, and the real crux of the matter: the interconnectedness and interdependency between individuals, societies, cultures, business, and the environment. She talked about finding love and happiness and how those drivers feed our individual souls and our collective neighborhood, community, and global spirit. The focus of every creative endeavor is people, their quality of life, and the creation of healthy, beautiful and sustainable environments in which all of life on this planet can thrive. Change and discovering one's passion begins with whatever a person is authentically interested in. If it does not begin there, then starting any new business will just be too difficult.
