Money, money, money ...
Money, money, money (two songs fighting for top billing but ABBA won out!) is on so many of our minds.
As business owners and non-profit founders, money is on our minds, A LOT. How do we engage with money, currency, and power? How can we move from this space of late stage capitalism, survival and dare I say thrive, through to what follows with grace and integrity intact?
How do we run businesses and organizations that leave a legacy of impact while juggling the , financials to pay ourselves, pay our labour force, and redistribute to the community in a judicious way?
How do we juggle all of these big questions in our business?
These are some of the questions we'll have space to reflect on during our 14 week journey in #SowingPostCapitalistSeeds, starting next week.
We don’t need to figure it out alone. We’re going to have space to connect in community in my upcoming course, Sowing Post Capitalist Seeds for Business.
I'm so tired of narratives where we must life in a world and culture that crush us, not care for our needs. I'm tired of relationships that feel transactional instead of loving, relational, and based in mutuality.
I'm tired of my friends and those I care about, with individuals with disabilities, mental illness, queer individuals, BIPOC, the youth and others not being supported by the system.
I'm tired of debt, lack, extractionism all based on the fact that our current system upholds capitalism, supremacy, colonialism, and cishet patriarchy.
I'm also inspired by movements, new (and old) ways of being with money and in relationship. I'm inspired by agile and innovative ideas. I'm inspired by new narratives and ways of framing that liberate us and have us move beyond oppressive systems.
If you are looking for a place to explore the machine that is capitalism in your work, within and beyond your business, this might be a great resource for you. Together, let’s explore how money and power intertwine and interrelate and are interwoven into the fabric of life and work.
In solidarity,
Anuradha
