G'day gorgeous!
Welcome to my ongoing story …
I believe in the potential of entrepreneurship – scalable innovative equitable value exchange – to do good in the world, benefiting both individuals and the collective.
N’entrepreneurs are the creative, courageous folks who are changing the culture of doing business from the inside edge, by consciously replacing old habits of extraction and competition with life affirming practices of mutual aid and community care.
N’entrepreneur sounds like nontrepreneur (we all start somewhere), but contains way more openminded permissions and possibilities:
No more entrepreneur – recognises and rejects archetypal high stress burnout creating business building behaviour. Also, it’s not all about the money.
Neuro entrepreneur – loves a super calm nervous system to enable thinking outside the box, beyond self limiting habits and beliefs
Noir entrepreneur – rebelliously recognises disabled/LGBTIQA+ Blak, Black, Brown, Indigenous and Women/Femmes of Colour as thought leaders in establishing personal boundaries and exploding false limitations.
Non binary entrepreneur – ingeniously incorporates opposites, rather than choosing sides, allowing the emergence of unexpected pleasures
Novel entrepreneur – organically creates a new narrative of revolutionary relationships and romance, dancing lightly with life.
Nova entrepreneur – embraces effortless aligned expansion, leaving a sparkling trail of delight
N’entrepreneurship embraces nuance, complexity, diversity and respect.
N’entrepreneurs acknowledge that their language, the most potent words used in their message, have been given life and meaning by the previous revolutionary work of Blak, Black, Brown, Indigenous, People of Colour, and Intersectional Feminists.
Out with relentless always on grind culture. In with spaciousness, rest, time for dreaming, friends, family and fun!
Discerning what is important and meaningful from what is habitual and oppressive.
An emergent philosophy of being in the world joyfully, inclusively, kindly.
That’s the secret:
Embodying success means committing to kindness.
The disciplined practice of thinking *for* your self, rather than against your complexity.
I’m Rachael Skyring, Woman, Mother & N’entrepreneur
I am a middle aged, university educated Anglo Australian woman, living in a non metropolitan area. I have a part time job, three young adult children, elderly parents and an uncomfortable marriage.
I am a Woman and Mother with very late diagnosed AuDHD. I do not have the spoons – mental or emotional bandwidth – available to take on being a stereotypical “entrepreneur”. I tend towards being ingenuous, naive – apparently not smart, sexy or spiritual enough to do whatever it takes to get ahead.
However, I have learned to value, seek, and accept specific help tailored to my evolving needs and desires. My methods include walking and window shopping, googling and scrolling, subscribing and following, showing up for free challenges and webinars, joining paid group business and marketing training programs, committing to 1:1 coaching and multiple practitioner trainings.
Including Sacred Geometry , Sensual Embodied Dance, Freedom School, We are the Culture Makers, Formidable Coach, Feminine Embodiment Coaching, Laughter Yoga, Embodied Anatomy, Power Yoga. You can learn more about my brilliant teachers here
Through all of this I have created – with time, attention and money – a sustainable network, a community of care and affirmation around myself and my particular needs and desires.
It is this invisible support structure which enables me to offer tools and assistance to other Mothers with N’entrepreneurship desires to generate the individual affirmation and support they need for themselves, to continue the essential work of changing the culture of doing business, from the inside to create a path to a liveable world for our children.
I continue to bloom as I walk the path of becoming a fully fledged N’entrepreneur, embracing ingenuity, sensitivity and lived experience as my touchstones of authenticity and progress.
- I am increasingly confident in choosing and focusing on my own way and timeframes, less distracted or persuaded by pressure from outside to look or act in superficially “proper” ways.
- I trust and honour my need for a calm and spacious emotional environment, with time for my out of the box ideas to develop.
- I love listening to and learning from the profound wisdom of disabled and queer Blak, Black, Brown, Indigenous and Women of Colour. Their unjustly marginalised and revolutionary perspectives make so much beautiful sense. The more I open my heart and mind to their voices, the more I am able to hear and honour my own suppressed needs and desires. The foundational concepts of mutual aid and community care originate here.
- Stepping out of the false duality of needing to choose between opposites, and having permission to blend the most desirable parts of multiple options creates more excitement for exploring and leveraging differences.
- Dancing lightly with new ideas and experiences makes it easier to incorporate, laugh about and learn from slip ups as part of the entertainment.
You’re at the gate when you believe yourself when you think “I’m tired. I’ve done enough!”
The path begins when you start to wonder:
“What do I truly want and really need to feel content?”
It takes a considerable amount of skill and devotion to discern your own answers from all the noise of what culture and society and family and partners expect of a competent and capable Woman.
The path of the N’entrepreneur is rarely the obvious one.
Remember that in this moment of vulnerability – of not knowing and of feeling overwhelmed –
you are not alone.
There is an entire community of warm and empathetic people ready to sit (and/or stand, walk, dance, sing, run, jump, play) with and support you through this awakening.
You’ll want and need to connect with more and more of them as you explore further and deeper. This is the unique network of community care and mutual aid you create by bravely following your own desires and needs.
One thing at a time. One step at a time.
Right now, what I have to offer you is the most powerful framework I have discovered for reliably navigating personal unknowns to emerge more irrepressibly alive and calmly optimistic about the future than ever before.
Follow the path that lights you up
without burning out or burning it all down
