Learn how you can take the next step towards an abundant economy through a creative and personalized life design with business consultant and worker-owner of LIFT Economy, Erin Axelrod.
When we use the word “economy”, we mean the strategies our society collectively uses to access or acquire goods and services.
In our current capitalist economic model, the individual is forced to rely on the exchange of currency to meet most or all of their needs and typically spends most of their lives working to generate just enough currency to meet those basic needs. This model perpetuates scarcity, fear, and a disempowered dependence on systems that lack care and devalue cooperation.
The good news is- there’s another way!
During this interactive webinar, Erin will focus on financial resilience, teaching participants how to creatively develop practical and personalized next steps to designing a life that leads to abundance and meaningful connections.
Whether you live alone, in a rural or urban intentional community, or in cohousing- Erin’s “Next Step” resource will meet you where you are, and help you map out your next step towards an abundant economy.
These resources are a part of the 6-month online Next Economy Living program that teaches strategies for crafting a life that provides for your needs while being in deep alignment with cooperative values and community-building.
The program takes a deep dive into important areas of your life design like personal health and wellbeing, food, water & energy, financial resilience, education & media engagement, civic participation, relationships, travel, entertainment, experiences, education, housing, and relationship to materials, resources and waste.
Erin Axelrod is a business consultant and worker-owner at LIFT Economy where she works with clients and facilitates a 9-month online learning journey called the Next Economy MBA, with 800+ alumni. She is a co-facilitator of the Next Economy Living program focused on personal life design for building liberatory communities of practice to escape from the traps of the business as usual economy. She co-founded the $1.1MForce for Good Fund, The Next Egg, and works with clients all over the country including Jonas Philanthropies & Winona’s Hemp & Heritage Farm. Erin lives and works in unceded ohlone territory with her partner, 2-year old daughter in an extended multi-family household and tends to sheep and a small herd of dairy goats. When not working, she enjoys time with her family tending the land, growing mushrooms, planting trees, solar-cooking and harvesting & growing wild foods to make nutrient-dense foods for her friends.
The LIFT team has spent over ten years working with more than 250 social enterprises and organizations that are growing the Next Economy, many of which are led by founders and entrepreneurs dedicated to this question of – how do I LIVE in a way that embodies my values and meets my needs? Outside of their work at LIFT Economy, their team has coached thousands of individuals about personal living choices that can dramatically enhance personal wellbeing, financial resilience and contribute meaningfully to solving societal challenges.
