NEW VENTURE CREATION IS A TRANSFORMATIONAL HEALER

As possibly the Southern Hemisphere's leader in entrepreneurial psychology, I am delighted that one of the usages of Martuwangka word 'Palya' is to express that one is well. The word "Palyala" means to create something, thus confirming via an ancient Australian Western Desert tribal culture that new venture creation can be a transformational healer. Isnt the world magnificent?

Be-lated welcome to the forum! I am glad to see that you have already contributed a blog post, and that it offers such a new perspective. I do not know much about entrepreneurial psychology. I hate to admit my ignorance, but what exactly does entrepreneurial psychology entail? It strikes me as a potentially very broad subject. How did you become interested in this? Do you apply it specifically to entrepreneurs taking microfinance loans?

I hope you don't mind all the questions. I am just curious to learn more about what you do. It all sounds pretty cool!

Hope you enjoy the forum.

All the best,
Haley
